Chris&Krystal Posted September 12, 2011 #51 Share Posted September 12, 2011 Only word that we have received was at 6pm when they told us they were completing maintenance and we would be leaving port in about 15 minutes. Very frustrated by the lack of communication. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wrp96 Posted September 12, 2011 #54 Share Posted September 12, 2011 You can still see her lines so it's probably not going to be anytime soon. Just guessing though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeano222 Posted September 12, 2011 #55 Share Posted September 12, 2011 Just spoke to my friends. Carnival won't tell them anything. People are getting really ticked off. Stuff happens but they won't say what's the matter, that is what is making them mad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry it is starting out like this for everyone. If you run across them tell them Karen(Babyblue) said hello that would be funny. But I hope you get going soon and can make all your ports!!

sweetlissa Posted September 12, 2011 #59 Share Posted September 12, 2011 Hopefully not, hopefully everything will go smooth from this point out and she absolutly love cruising like so many others of us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kudos2Fly Posted September 12, 2011 #60 Share Posted September 12, 2011 Well the way I see it some trips don't always go as planned... It could be worse, they could be out to sea and have it break down in the middle of the ocean.... At least everyone is safe and sound. Hopefully they will set sail soon...

LambKnuckles Posted September 12, 2011 #62 Share Posted September 12, 2011 Hope they leave in time to make all their ports. If it's still the same... We spent the night in port due to fog... and we were told we'd miss a port if we didn't get to leave by 10PM... There's about a 6 hour window for speed to stay on schedule... Karen... I pray Mike and Sandra still love cruising... They're missing some things -- but the dining and shows and FUN still continue!!! I know it didn't bother me to stay in port... It was my third cruise, though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeano222 Posted September 12, 2011 #63 Share Posted September 12, 2011 Was talking to friends and captain just came on speaker system. There is a propulsion issue they are working on and so far is still not working and they hope to have fixed and leave at 11:30 tonight. Friends wish they would have announced it several hours ago. Come on Carnival, what is so hard about keeping your passengers informed, people wouldn't be grumpy if they knew what the problem has been.

Denton_Geek Posted September 12, 2011 #67 Share Posted September 12, 2011 On board here. We have tried to leave twice. Captain made an announcement at 9:00, said they have a problem with propulsion. Crew is working the problem and then he said "We hope to depart by 11:30, one hour from now." We were all confused by that. Here is a picture of Coast Guard gunships that were alongside earlier when we tried to depart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

douglinc@msn.com Posted September 12, 2011 #69 Share Posted September 12, 2011 Maybe the propulsion problem was the reason they were late getting into Galveston this morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris&Krystal Posted September 12, 2011 #70 Share Posted September 12, 2011 Captain announced that it is a propulsion issue and it has taken longer than expected to repair. He said we should leave port by 1130 pm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
