cofamily5 Posted June 1, 2014 #28 Share Posted June 1, 2014 We are on ship. Seems like heating cooling is not working well. Some areas of ship are very warm. Smell of exhaust in center stairwell in between calypso and Neptune. No word since 3:30 from captain. It is 10:20 now. Business as usual. Edward in palm restaurant and lester are great!

We are on CB right now. Was told by one of staff that there were engine problems. We've been watching divers working in the water underneath ship. Captain said we would sail at 8pm, it's 9:30 now and no sign that we'll be leaving anytime soon. Gotta go now and go with my wife to line dancing! So no announcments for 7 hours???

HMSDingy Posted June 1, 2014 #30 Share Posted June 1, 2014 Colo Cruiser, I don't know about the others on the ship right now, but I'd be worried that the ship hasn't sailed yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justyman87 Posted June 1, 2014 #31 Share Posted June 1, 2014 Uh oh... any news on possible port changes? I assume there may be some with the late departure... if she ever departs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ltcal94 Posted June 1, 2014 #32 Share Posted June 1, 2014 (edited) 22:30 and still in port. Very little activity visible in the bridge. If we were ready to leave the bridge wings would be manned. I am hoping that there are no delays into Grand Turk. However, if there are I think San Juan is close enough that the call in Grand Turk could be extended to make up for it. Regardless we are having a good time . I am just about to go up to Skywalkers to listen to some music and do a little dancing .

USVIcruizer Posted June 1, 2014 #33 Share Posted June 1, 2014 on board now - no information since original announcement that departure would be delayed. Anyone out there hearing anything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruzingal#9 Posted June 1, 2014 #34 Share Posted June 1, 2014 We're on her next week also. A little concerned when I hear about heating and cooling problems and exhaust smell in main stairwell. I hope all goes well for fellow cruisers who are on board now! I just heard on the port radio that there are still divers in the water and it will be another half hour!

RocksNoSalt Posted June 1, 2014 #37 Share Posted June 1, 2014 (edited) I am on the CB now and we still have not departed. No announcements other Than several hours ago they said we would not miss any time In Grand Turk. There has been a strong fuel smell on the Lower levels. Would like if the capt would let us know what Is going on. A lady at dinner said she saw them using some Type of sealer material. I would rather be stuck here than out at sea. Wish us luck! Bummer that my laptop doesn't get wifi in the stateroom. Excuse the typos using my cell phone Edited June 1, 2014 by RocksNoSalt Spelling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arkieinwisconsin Posted June 1, 2014 #41 Share Posted June 1, 2014 Listening to port radio, just said it would be another 20-25 minutes. Hope they get whatever the problem is fixed soon. 2 weeks until we sail on her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare azbirdmom Posted June 1, 2014 #43 Share Posted June 1, 2014 (edited) We had the opposite on disembarkment. We went to breakfast at 7 and tried to get off at 8am. I never had a problem before on any ship regardless of the line for walk off. This one made us wait 20 minutes past our designated time. For walk off? Seriously? Other ships (princess and other cruiselines) want the walk offs to go and don't hold them back standing around waiting. You were blessed. I (and our friends) found them to be ridiculously disorganized. Hi Maureen. We did the earliest walkoff and were walking up to the disembarkation lounge when we were told that we could get off the ship already, and this was at 7:10. There were probably 20 people ahead of us in line which went slowly as there was only one customs agent. When we got up to the front of the line, two more showed up but by then there were hundreds of people in line. So that likely slowed things down for everyone after that. I was wondering if the Thursday engine room announcement and the early arrival due to maintenance were related. We noticed yesterday that our room started feeling warmer, even when we set the thermostat to the lowest setting. It was somewhere in the middle the rest of the cruise. I'm thankful we all made it back, but I truly hope the problem is resolved quickly so the folks on board can enjoy their cruise.

ltcal94 Posted June 1, 2014 #45 Share Posted June 1, 2014 Itcal94, have you considered approaching the pursers desk or an officer? Other than the fact we are in port and the shops are closed everyone seems to have a positive attitude and business seems as usual.

custompcsys Posted June 1, 2014 #46 Share Posted June 1, 2014 How do I get this port radio? You have to have a scanner and be within range of the port, unless there is a web site that broadcasts it over the net Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruzingal#9 Posted June 1, 2014 #50 Share Posted June 1, 2014 How do I get this port radio? When you are on the Fort Lauderdale webcam you can hear them talking. It's not a constant talk, but whenever someone radios in you can hear it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
