emttl73 Posted May 15, 2010 #1 Share Posted May 15, 2010 I have to report what our experience has been like the last two days. We purchased a suite and can't even open the door to the balcony. Something smells so bad from the ship you can use your balcony. If I wanted a cabin with a window I would have paid for an outside cabin. I am so mad we spent all this money and can't use the balcony. The purser's desk said they can't do anything and a formal complaint has been opened. They said it may not be fixed during our stay.

PantherFan Posted May 16, 2010 #4 Share Posted May 16, 2010 That does not sound very fun. What room number are you in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emttl73 Posted May 16, 2010 Author #5 Share Posted May 16, 2010 They won't really say what the smell is. Something about the new "green technology". It's broken and they are trying to figure out what is wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foxesden1 Posted May 16, 2010 #8 Share Posted May 16, 2010 i am so sorry this has happened. i don't feel you are out of line in requesting a credit for days you do not have use of your full stateroom. if they are unable to move you, they should be able to work out some credit. t Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bplazo Posted May 16, 2010 #12 Share Posted May 16, 2010 If you cannot use your balcony I think that the least they should do is issue a credit for what the difference is from a window view to a balcony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arizona Cruz Chic Posted May 16, 2010 #13 Share Posted May 16, 2010 I would be very upset too. Nothing worse than sewer smell :eek: :eek: :eek: Can they move you to another cabin? *** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AuzzieCruiser Posted May 16, 2010 #16 Share Posted May 16, 2010 I was on the Rhapsody a few weeks ago from Sydney to Honolulu. The smell was getting stronger towards the end of the cruise. It was very noticeable, especially in the Centrum. Thank goodness it was not down in the Cabin areas!!:eek: There was also issues with the airconditioning as well. The theatre was so hot for 2 or 3 days. I hope they get the issue fixed ASAP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AuzzieCruiser Posted May 16, 2010 #19 Share Posted May 16, 2010 Who is the captain...I can't imagine Capt Rick letting this go The Captain onboard at the moment is Captain Stein. He got back on in Sydney. His wife and kids are also onboard for the 10 weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a thought. I'm sorry to hear about the OP's predicament, it would be so mad if that happened to me! Green technologies that work. Yes, here are four I know about from personal experience: solar panels, solar water heater, heat pump, and composting. On the other hand, friends who live far away from a city sewer have installed their own green sewer plant under ground (with a small pipe for venting to the outside) and that smells pretty bad at time if you're near the vent. I don't think the technology is quite there yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubrrick Posted May 16, 2010 #21 Share Posted May 16, 2010 Sorry to hear of your misfortune! The GSM and Hotel Director would have been the persons to contact, and you can still write to Miami, and they can check with the ship, and be able to give you a credit......if there was a problem. We, too have experienced problems on a couple of ships........and have alway been compensated......when they acknowledge that there is a problem in your cabin/suite.;) Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CodyC815 Posted May 16, 2010 #22 Share Posted May 16, 2010 I really hope they get this fixed. Were on the Rhapsody in 4 days. This will be my friends first cruise and I'd hate for them to experience this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EmTeeNesters Posted May 16, 2010 #24 Share Posted May 16, 2010 I would think that your "neighbors" must also be experiencing the same situation. Ask them and see if they have also contacted management. If not, time to band together... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maraprince Posted May 16, 2010 #25 Share Posted May 16, 2010 There has to be more than just one cabin experiencing this. I would knock on my neighbor's cabins and find out if they are affected as well. If so, get them to file a complaint as well. If more cabins complain, something more definite may be done during the voyage. Sorry this is happening. MARAPRINCE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
