juggles Posted October 17, 2009 Author #51 Share Posted October 17, 2009 Real good advice. Anyone sleeping in a top bunk bed, use the guard rail at all times. If the ship lists, it can throw you out of the bunk. A passenger some time back was thrown off the top bunk bed, she broke her neck on the bedside cabinet.

Rare geoherb Posted October 17, 2009 #54 Share Posted October 17, 2009 We hit gale force 10 winds coming back to Norfolk on the Maasdam. The ship listed to one side. I really noticed it when eating breakfast one morning in the buffet area. When I looked to the port side, all I could see was water. When I looked starboard, I could see only sky. On a Sun Princess cruise, the ship tilted temporarily when it made a sharp turn. I could see some pictures in the art auction area hanging from the wall about a foot at the bottom.

RickEk Posted October 17, 2009 #55 Share Posted October 17, 2009 jeese, I know it would but I named the thread..Caribbean ship in Storm...on a Princess cruise thread!! i.e...the Caribbean ship.It's not on the P & O or the Holland and American forums Anyway have a nice day, I'm off out now.:) Hey Juggles... just a point of fact, but Princess ship names include Princess at the end. The ship you're referring to is not the Caribbean, she's the Caribbean Princess. ;) And yes, it does matter, especially when it can be so very ambiguous...

West Coast Posted October 17, 2009 #56 Share Posted October 17, 2009 Please advise them to fix or replace the piano by next Sat. :) Maybe they could put Bert's in there (and his followers)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrusinAgain Posted October 17, 2009 #57 Share Posted October 17, 2009 Well we just arrived to our hotel room at Laguardia to board her tomorrow and imagine our shock to see this. I hope everyone is okay and the seas are calmer when we go out this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nancyquilts Posted October 17, 2009 #58 Share Posted October 17, 2009 Ok all....dumb question here.....What does "listed" mean? To me it would mean "tilted" or "leaning". After reading about the Beaufort Scale, I think I would leave the precise definition to someone else.;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toberman Posted October 17, 2009 #59 Share Posted October 17, 2009 If you knew what she was talking about, why feel so bad?:p More than a dozen posts and we still have only rumors! Someone better bloody well get on the horn to THE Caribbean Ship (not just any, mind you!) and get us some facts!:D CC has already posted a sticky on this--check the top of the Princess forum page. The severity of the list is not known. There were no reported injuries to passengers; one crew member had minor injuries (has already returned to work); and a piano was destroyed.

spongerob Posted October 17, 2009 #61 Share Posted October 17, 2009 Thanks Welshlass. We shouldn't be too harsh on people who post news, but by the same token we also need to be careful not to make mountains out of molehills. A list is a semi-permanent condition related to balance; this sounds more like a roll that was of greater magnitude than usual. A list is semi-static, a roll is dynamic.

sept10dsm Posted October 17, 2009 #62 Share Posted October 17, 2009 I finally had a chance to check the status of CB and she is in NY harbor or at least the webcam is showing that. We are getting ready to go to the port to board. I hope all went well last night. I have been through rough seas like that on the same cruise.

shootingstar07 Posted October 17, 2009 #63 Share Posted October 17, 2009 Sure, I mean we should all pitch in where we can right? BTW, do you have a cute little pet that you can do a show with.:D Sorry (joking), I just always think of cute little pets when I think of accordions:D if we all pitch in....does this mean I get a two-for-one sale??? :confused: if so, where do I book? I have an old set of drums, I could play percussion!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbrambach Posted October 17, 2009 #66 Share Posted October 17, 2009 Ok, so far we have Pia, HighHeelGirl and Shootingstar for our band, what shall we call it?:D But seriously, I am glad everyone is ok. CrusinAgain & spet10dsm, it would be great to get some first hand info of the CB when you board. Thanks for the offer and have a great and safe cruise.

juggles Posted October 17, 2009 Author #69 Share Posted October 17, 2009 Hey Juggles... just a point of fact, but Princess ship names include Princess at the end. The ship you're referring to is not the Caribbean, she's the Caribbean Princess. ;) And yes, it does matter, especially when it can be so very ambiguous... there aren't Caribbean ships, just ships in the Caribbean. Had I put..Dawn Ship in storm, would someone automatically ask, 'do you mean the Dawn princess or a ship at dawn?' :) Let's forget it eh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Druke I Posted October 17, 2009 #72 Share Posted October 17, 2009 In that case, they might just be referring to the Norwegian Dawn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnLauben Posted October 17, 2009 #74 Share Posted October 17, 2009 Since I'm the first one home from this cruise, a little more info. The list happened around 7:25. Many folks were having breakfast at the time. Explorers: Some of the (auction) art littering the lounge was damaged or destroyed ... no great loss IMHO Bert Stratton was relocated to the Princess Theatre last night A movie was shown in the Explorers MUTS just kept on playing ... MAMA MIA was playing just after, with nobody watching (too bloody cold) Princess Theatre: Some back-stage damage caused the cancellation of last night's show (3rd performance of PIANO MAN) Backstage tour cancelled Lap Pool: Emptied into the fitness center ... damage mostly to carpeting/mats Gift Shops: Several pieces of (expensive) glassware broken Pizzeria and burger grill closed all day yesterday, to encourage people to stay inside. Some passenger falls; but, I didn't hear anything major (I guess one never does on a cruise) The seas calmed down late in the afternoon yesterday. We were only a few minutes late docking this morning. One crew member (perhaps more) reported that his TV fell off its shelf and was damaged. Several elevators were out of service late yesterday ... not sure if this was related to the tilt. Disembarkation was slow --- my 9:10 color time was called at about 9:45. I was in a taxi at about 10:10 and home at about 10:20. It's raining in NYC this morning. I'm sure there was more; this is all that I can remember.
