Hello from Caribbean Princess. I am on board and wanted to share some info. The Captain did a great job of keeping us updated as to his communication with port authority. Many announcements were, that he had NO new news for us. The staff were all very polite and trying to make the best of the day. Many people are having many issues with remaking new flight arrangements. Luckily I live in the Houston area, but my husband does have to fly out for work. If you are one of the lucky ones on the ship and flying United ask about their Flat Tire policy. My husbands flight was changed with no charges as the circumstances were out of his control.

 

After talking with staff, we found out a few things. One many were suppose to have time off and had to work and don't know when they will get it again. The room attendants had a very long, trying to clean as much as possible with passengers still hanging out in rooms and with some luggage still in rooms. After moving rolling beds in and out of rooms, all taken out had to be returned with clean sheets. Cleaning carts were on all the halls all day long till this evening.

Tomorrow they will have to do all of it again.

 

All luggage was returned to everyone for a few hours so we could get clothing. That is a lot of work!

 

We found out that at least the room attendants and our dining room servers were basically working with out pay as they wont get paid tips for today, as we aren't being charged.

 

I know it has been a very stressful 2 days for all, but please keep in mind when you get on the ship, it isn't the employees on the ships fault.

 

I hope everyone has a great time once you are able to get on board. I highly recommend the pizza on deck 15.

The Princess staff really did take care of you guys aboard and glad you were able to stay in your rooms comfortably. I was amazed last night upon hearing how quickly they got everyones luggage back to them. The crew is the true hero of this situation.

And for those on board that placed their luggage out the night before?

That's promising!

Go Texans! At least you are watching from the comfort of your home

At least many of us are waiting in the comfort of our homes and not at an airport. I'm thinking drinks should be on Princess this evening for missing 1-2 meals...just kiddin

Lol!

This happened to us in Galveston a few years ago and it was about 3:30 when we disembarked. For those of us local and hoping to depart today, please keep us posted as to when you start moving again. Hoping for the fog to lift soon!
