You keep a lot of lists....

I believe that if it was a Journey cruise, there will be a LARGE banner in the Atrium

The trans pacific highway has pretty high tolls….

I would be interested to hear how all these time changes affected you cumulatively.

Fascinating

Enjoy it!

There may be another round of them for another eclipse the following year. Might even tie to one of the new ship deliveries…

The last time I got an offer to go to Vietnam it was for free….from the government.

I cannot imagine spending an overnight in Bimini

Things happen, it is just the way that it works. We were on a Journey cruise that the sole reason we were doing it was one port of call Greenland. We never got there. We ended up spending 14 days in Canada, which we could have done for less than half the price. At the end of the day, you have decide what and how you will deal with it.

agree on both counts, the number of days made it the way to think about it.

I resemble that remark.

I was going to go comical on the LTD comment but chose not to....🙃

I am not an engineer, perhaps our local expert can opine. I cannot even say the repetitive problems are linked or not (other than they are propulsion related). Do they want the ship in service? absolutely. Do they want to do that at the expense of the longevity of the repair (band aid it)? Not a chance. I have been on a Carnival ship that had significant propulsion problems (Azipod related). The information we got while on the ship regarding the issue and fix, gave me distinct impressions that they (Carnival) relied heavily on the engine manufacturer for advice and counsel. Would I sail the Vista after this? In a New York minute.

my reasoning has nothing to do with azipods

Do not have a dog in this fight. My point is they DID address it. The follow the lead of the engine manufacturer. They dry docked the ship to have it addressed. If it bothers you then do not book the ship or the class or Carnival. Here is another view. I LOVE the Vista class, sailed all of them ( even the evil Vista a couple of times). I have 3 booked and will continue to sail this class intil they stop sailing. For the record, it has absolutely nothing to do with Azipods. It is easy to cherry pick reoccurring ship issues after the fact, much harder when it is live.

There will be blips, we just cancelled a couple also. They will get gobbled up.

So…another way to look at is once a year…but only for the first year….right?🤣

Some people think they know than the manufacture company also. Those people are called….posters on CC.

The ship has had issues, of that there is no doubt; My point in my post was that it has not been broken for 5 years.

I cannot really remember, was not cheap, but not off the charts. As I remember when I was looking at it, there were two real issues (other than the number of days. The first was the cost of flights tog et home. The second and even bigger one was, hell hey we are half way around the world, I want to stay and do more since I would already be there.

super excited to follow along. Enjoy, what a unique experience.

It was, but sold out pretty darn quick. Think my better half threw the remote at me when she saw the hold I had put on an aft wrap.....

Best be careful, thinking of everyone instead of the client can be very unpopular.😄

Gee, I was not aware it was faulty for five years. 🤔
