time4u2go Posted January 25, 2015 #76 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Oh thank God! Sorry I missed this post. Thank you for the update. At least our CC friends will get to go! Honestly, I'm still really sad. This was supposed to be a re-do of our honeymoon because THAT cruise sucked. :-/ It was only moving so they could reposition it to another dock in NOLA. It's now stopped again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tanikwish Posted January 25, 2015 #77 Share Posted January 25, 2015 What do you mean by "damaged"?????:confused: They weren't specific. I'm assuming it was lost power or water damage. Here's a story about it. A water pipe burst and caused electrical damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Feet Posted January 25, 2015 #79 Share Posted January 25, 2015 That's not true. Do you remember the oil spill in Galveston?? What about the Adventure problem in San Juan?? Both cases of very poor communication from RCI. In fact, in Galveston many folks were depending on information to passengers on Carnival because they were getting nothing from RCI. Naw i think i read it right. You like Carnival and that's great. I like them also. You missed the point. Just because you like them and cruise them all but 1 time does not make them superior. The little spinet about people on RCI (many people) and your "IN FACT" is not a fact and MANY is how MANY 2 -3 all. Many got info from Carnival people because RCI wasn't communicating --- come on now. You know your not suppose to lie on the internet. There not allowed to put anything on the net unless it's true --- remember. Laura (of CCritic fame) has posted a link to RCI about the problem. Rather then rumor hit the link.

AHarbison Posted January 25, 2015 #80 Share Posted January 25, 2015 We were on board when the incident happened. The TV lost signal, and we went in the hallway to see it was dark. Headed to dinner and when we returned the hallway and room had no power. But they left us one glow stick. They said the outage was in fire zone 2. When we awoke in NOLA this am all the power In the hallway and theater were still out. What a mess. What was your room number? I am sailing on Feb 7th and seeing if my cabin has been effected.....thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tanikwish Posted January 25, 2015 #81 Share Posted January 25, 2015 (edited) What was your room number? I am sailing on Feb 7th and seeing if my cabin has been effected.....thanks! It was essentially the entire aft of the ship. I'm in 8515. So it affected all decks in this portion (Give or take, they didn't show us an exact map). https://nerdythirtysomething.files.wordpress.com/2015/01/rccleffup.jpg Edited January 25, 2015 by tanikwish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonbgd Posted January 25, 2015 #82 Share Posted January 25, 2015 (edited) did this just affect cabins on the lower forward decks? or all forward cabins? Edited January 25, 2015 by jonbgd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You said the aft section. [rear of ship] this map shows the forward section. Which is correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is correct? It's the forward section. Looks like all cabins in the forward fire zone. You can see a slight gap between cabins just forward of the forward elevators for the fire doors. I was chatting with someone on twitter last night who had a cabin just aft of that break and they were on board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tanikwish Posted January 25, 2015 #87 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Which map? We were told we had damage along with other rooms in the area. Perhaps they lost power in the forward cabins? The list appeared to be rooms on the back end. But who knows. It just sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were shown where the damage was on a drawing was because we were one of the ones to get cancelled. Edited January 25, 2015 by tanikwish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bearandbee Posted January 25, 2015 #90 Share Posted January 25, 2015 I have been following 4 threads regarding the Serenade issues and I believe the cabins that have no power are in the forward section of the ship.

Cuizer2 Posted January 25, 2015 #93 Share Posted January 25, 2015 How horrible! I'm so sorry this happened, but glad everyone is safe. I'm surprised they don't just cancel the cruise to get the ship back in working order. If they do that they have to refund everybody. This way they hope to salvage some thing and hopefully reduce their losses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ourusualbeach Posted January 25, 2015 #94 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Here is the deck plan that was posted by tanikwish. Thanks. I think that it actually extends back a couple of more cabins to the break that you see by the elevators. That break is the fire doors and it makes sense that electrical system also has a break at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tanikwish Posted January 25, 2015 #95 Share Posted January 25, 2015 did this just affect cabins on the lower forward decks? or all forward cabins? From the number of people, it affected all forward cabins, but the list was changing when we left. I know for sure that people on other decks were being told there was damaged. The full extent, I don't know. I've read 900 people recently, but I can't confirm that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did a quick count of cabins forward of the forward elevators and it roughly matches the number of cabins/ people that we heard are displaced.

Cuizer2 Posted January 25, 2015 #97 Share Posted January 25, 2015 (edited) bad mood this morning? taking it out on the internet? Well, it is better than going postal. Edited January 25, 2015 by Cuizer2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tanikwish Posted January 25, 2015 #98 Share Posted January 25, 2015 (edited) Well, it better than going postal. I thought that would happen. We were just so tired though. I'm just glad I kept my emotions in check and didn't full on bawl the entire time. Hubby was angry but remained upbeat which helped a lot.

Cuizer2 Posted January 25, 2015 #99 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Your right Carnival has/had no problems. In fact that's why they don't need to communicate with passengers. They do however ask the tug boat driver pulling them back to port to say something nice to the cruisers around the 3rd or 4th day to keep them happy. Give passengers extra plastic bags to poop in. Yup no problems and great communications. Little notes are dropped with supplies from the helicopter dropping off water and food. JUST laughing with TYPE on a Sunday morning. I do stand by my THEY ALL hide their problems----. Yes, Carnival has had similar communications issues. However, just because Carnival can't communicate properly doesn't excuse Royal Caribbean for being just as inept. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
