Oville Posted December 18, 2013 #176 Share Posted December 18, 2013 The ship has been repaired, everything is normal. We leave Nassau at 6:00 and will arrive on schedule at PE tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tfrcal Posted December 18, 2013 #177 Share Posted December 18, 2013 Yes, she did. After being unable to see an accurate Track on Marine Traffiic, I looked for a web cam of Nassau's cruise port... There she was :-) Thanks. Webcams are blocked at work for me so I thought I would ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sure is much better than having to bus it the 189 miles from KW to PE.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oville Posted December 19, 2013 #179 Share Posted December 19, 2013 That sure is much better than having to bus it the 189 miles from KW to PE.:) That has never been a concern. For those of us onboard we were informed of the issue, the steps needed to fix it and reasons for the delays. The only people who discussed the bus ride were here on this thread, not the passengers actually onboard the Connie. We had a wonderful cruise on one of Celebrity's best ships. Having to spend extra time in Key West wasn't much of a burden, in fact for us no burden. Cruise Critic is a great tool for discussions about cruising. Every now and again, a thread takes on a life of its own as this one has. I guess it's just human nature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robtulipe Posted December 19, 2013 #182 Share Posted December 19, 2013 No problem, Emmy. I also learned of another contigent this morning. Any longer, and they were going to have to bus people to FL. Without being able to dump, the tanks can only hold so much.... ;) That has never been a concern.

The discussion was between Celebrity and the USCG. It was a contigent plan. the passengers were not involved, nor was their any real reason for them to be.

Gracie115 Posted December 19, 2013 #187 Share Posted December 19, 2013 I just disembarked from Connie a few hours ago....it was a GREAT cruise...yes we were "stuck" in Key West...one of the premier tourist areas in the US....that was really "horrible" ....not..... All power worked fine, the crew was wonderful...the ship LOOKS great, what a great job they did on the dry dock last spring....new AQUA rooms on 11th deck are WONDERFUL.....and Blu is great as always... I know some were disappointed they didn't get to Cozumel....we didn't care...stuff happens and X handled it very nicely.....will be happy to book back on any "M" class again..... Have NO idea about "planned protests" or anything like that....we listened to what the Captain had to say about the problem and went about having a great time.....can't be bothered with "protesting" for goodness sake we were on a ship in a great resort town.......sometimes there are problems.... this was one of those times but it did not detract IN ANY WAY to our enjoyment!!! Can't wait to book Connie again!!!:D:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Lois! We had a great time! We were on Connie last April before the drydock and had fun then too but she was looking tired...not anymore, looks 10 years younger and has a great crew! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cubs Fan Posted December 27, 2013 #193 Share Posted December 27, 2013 Did anyone get photos to post of the fun on Mallory Pier for Sunset? -Marisa Hi to the 12/14 Connie roll call gang! Hope you're all having a good time, stuck in Key West <G>. Sorry you won't be making it to Cozumel, but I know how many of you wanted to spend more time in Key West anyway. Turbine problems or not, I'd still rather be on that ship with y'all, but I obviously had to cancel.Cub Fan, Rhonda and Bob... If you're reading this, I wish I could have met you. We too, live in Buffalo Grove. You left just in time to miss our lovely cold, snowy, and blustery weather. Cindy and Grant... I didn't see your name anywhere (George filled us in on the refugee board), but if you're reading this anyway, we miss you, and would have loved to see you again! __________________ Sorry you missed the cruise. We are back and cold and we relaxed. Thanks for the shout-out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
