It's pretty telling when the general consensus is to accept this company can't manage or execute a large project.  

 

The pier will be ready early 2018.  Sorry, June 2018.  Sorry, August 2018.  Sorry, December 2018.  Sorry,  January 2018. Sorry, March 2019.  Sorry, May 2019.

 

Just remember that when Perfect Day isn't ready in May.  

 

Who knew it could rain in the Bahamas?  Maybe they should hire a full time chief meteorologist... 

They’re claiming that the weather delays are due to high/heavy winds that prevented the crane(s) from operating. They could lift things onto the top deck that were needed.  

I still don’t believe it. But this makes it harder to verify cause it’s easy to look up whether or but it rained in Freeport on any given day. But harder to prove there weren’t high winds gusts that prevented work from happening. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Did you not read my post... just before yours... 11 hours ago? 

No, because I read and reply in order. That’s how posts work. 

You sure it was 11 hours ago? I mean, you couldn’t even figure out that 24-16=8, so....🤷🏼‍♂️

That's terrible!!! If I'm going to spend thousands of dollars on ANYTHING, I do research! Same should be for any vacation.  I see tons of families complaining about spending money on a Disney Vacation of a Lifetime but they did no research and have no dining or ride reservations.  I'm sorry, but I can't feel overly bad in a situation like this where a small amount of research would have prepared travelers for this possibility.   It's no different than booking during hurricane season and then having your cruise cancelled, shortened, re-routed.

 

You do realize that many people booked BEFORE they announced that a dry dock/refurb was being scheduled, right? 

Or did you not do your research before submitting a very rude post? Did you not know that they canceled cruises a few months ago to accommodate the dry dock? It was amazing what a small amount of research could do to save you looking like a pompous a$$! 🤔

Ok... I promise I have had my coffee already, but you just confused me more. How can it sail from FLL for 8 nights on the 16th, and 6 nights on the 24th. 

 

It’s basic math. If it sails on the 16th for 8 nights, it returns to port on the 24th. It then sails again on the 24th for 6 nights.  It then returns to port on March 2nd. And guess what...sails again that night for 8 more days.  

Why was this confusing?? 🤷🏼‍♂️

Greetings,

 

My friends in event management tell me that when an invitation says "space is limited" that means to RSVP instantly. An event like this is so hot it was bound to fill up very quickly and those who responded first got put on the list. They also said that one of the reasons why RCL may have selected a smaller venue was because it is centrally located in NYC, within walking distance from a major transportation hub and has a public parking lot next door. I guess RCI chose convenience over size of venue.

I don't 100% agree with you on this. It's located West of 10th Avenue. There is ZERO transportation hubs near there. Closest one is Penn Station which is 33rd and 7th (in NYC, 3 crosstown blocks is considered not close).

I spoke with the Director of the event this morning, as I was quite disappointed. Apparently the event space can only accommodate 250 people including their staff. That's CRAZY! I think there were more people in the Diamond Lounge on the Independence last December!

She acknowledged that they didn't anticipate such high interest, especially when non-locals RSVP'd YES and are planning to travel for the event.

She did say they were going to be doing other Quantum events later in the year, and I expressed that I felt I was being more Loyal to Royal than Royal was to me.

It is what it is I guess. Boo!

So I am a D+ and received my invite via email on 3/3. They gave us an RSVP deadline of 3/19. I sent in my RSVP on 3/6. Yesterday (3/11) I get an email stating that:

"Thank you for your interest in Quantum of the Seas and our upcoming reveal

event in New York City.

We have had such an amazing response from all of our members that

unfortunately, we no longer have space available. At this time we are

unable confirm a spot for you at this event. Should additional space open

up, we'll be sure to reach out to you again.

We look forward to sharing our excitement and future Quantum of the Seas

reveals with you over the next several months.

Thank you for your continued support and loyalty."

UGH!!! So as a D+ I have been turned away because they couldn't find a venue to accommodate even the Pinnacle and D+ members. And I live and work right here in the city. This SUCKS!!!

Guess they won't be offering this to Diamond and below. Stupid Royal!
