Well lets hope it's repaired before I get there (that is meant as a JOKE). They have had several issues with that gangway if I am not mistaken.

More from John Heald Embarkation will also take place at this pier as well and hopefully yet gangway will be repaired by the time the Carnival Splendor returns on Sunday.

luv2cruise777l Posted March 7, 2011 #4 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Just got off the Paradise this morning. We were bused from the San Pedro terminal to the Long Beach terminal. Went pretty smooth but being Platinum we were one of the first off. I could see that this will delay some passengers as the day moves on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Splendor was there yesterday. I wonder what happened. :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is where the Disney ships dock, so once people are there, it shouldn't be that bad. However, the logistics of getting a couple thousand people and their luggage over there has to be a pain.

DEBnGAB Posted March 7, 2011 #8 Share Posted March 7, 2011 I wonder how the emark process will look for the folks getting on the Paradise today...and my group on Friday if it isnt fixed by then. Check in VIP at Long Beach and then get bussed over? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luv2cruise777l Posted March 7, 2011 #9 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Hi Sherrie! Hope you had a good cruise. The Splendor was there yesterday. I wonder what happened. :confused: Hi Patty! We had a great weekend! Sure wish Jordon was in the Piano Bar! Can't wait until he returns!:) There was something wrong with the gangplank. They didn't tell us until 7:00am this morning. Wasn't too bad for us but I wonder how the rest of the morning went trying to get people to and from Long Beach. I hope we all can sail together soon!:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martini Mom Posted March 7, 2011 #10 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Here's another reason why I like having family drop us off and pick us up. We can change plans/location no problem. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosefloater Posted March 8, 2011 #11 Share Posted March 8, 2011 The Splendor was there yesterday. I wonder what happened. :confused: They have had several issues with that gangway if I am not mistaken. When we were on the Splendor in May '09 (on 1 of the Canadian Riviera cruises), debarkation was delayed for about 3 hours because the gangway was broken.
