merle65 Posted March 14, 2016 #101 Share Posted March 14, 2016 I think she's on the move now.Was looking at deck camera. We are ready for our cruise April 9.Would love to hear from passengers this week on what they did on POA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chengkp75 Posted March 14, 2016 #102 Share Posted March 14, 2016 I'm not sure why it was delayed, but they've been having a lot of different issues overall. Some projects either are incomplete or not where they should be at this point. Contractors will be onboard for the upcoming cruise to finish up some of the work. Yeah, "stuff" happens. Despite having the contractors "walk the job" months in advance and giving a timeline, staging materials months in advance, and working with huge "critical path" spreadsheets from NCL, contractors and the yard, somethings always seem to interfere with another job, or a brand new component out of the box fails. Good that they had a day in hand. When we reflagged the Sky to the Aloha, I think we had 6 hours between completion of sea trials and embarkation.

I believe she just swung at anchor, for any movement you saw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chengkp75 Posted March 14, 2016 #104 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Appears to be heaving anchor now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chengkp75 Posted March 14, 2016 #105 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Yep, underway now. Going to be a long night; sea trials, getting everyone and everything off, then get ready for embarkation. Glad its not me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
punkincc Posted March 14, 2016 #106 Share Posted March 14, 2016 I haven't got mine yet, but apparently two people on our roll call just got emails saying the cruise is delayed one day, no change to the ports stops. Now to scramble to find a hotel in San Fran for Tuesday night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OceanDreaming2 Posted March 14, 2016 #107 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Word on our rollcall is that NCL is delaying the departure of the POA one day. We haven't heard directly from our TA, but others have been in contact with their PCC's. What a mess! :mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greatlakesgirl Posted March 14, 2016 #108 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Good luck to those of you on the upcoming sailing out of dry dock! I hope everything goes smoothly and some of you report back to let us know how things went. And maybe some pics! ;) :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, "stuff"! :D Unfortunately, it is true that the transpac back home is delayed. For now, it's only a day, but I wouldn't be surprised if it stretches a bit longer than that. Either way, it will be several weeks minimum before all of the new features are fully up and running. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now to scramble to find a hotel in San Fran for Tuesday night. Good luck on that. And hey, an extra night in San Francisco (with ncl giving you some refund/obc) isn't that bad, is it? I've never been but my son has and said it was great. Hope you (and everyone) make the best of it. Sent from my SM-N920P using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just hoping a one day delay is the extent of it. Still waiting to get an email from ncl with details. I only got a phone msg a about 1:00 pm re 1 day delay. If not for roll call would not have a clue what was going in. Great communiction NCL!! Just what we have come to expect!

gwsster Posted March 15, 2016 #115 Share Posted March 15, 2016 I hope all goes well for boarding on Wednesday. Keep us posted and any pictures you can upload would be so appreciated.

Kattus Posted March 15, 2016 #116 Share Posted March 15, 2016 Keeping my fingers crossed that the ship leaves tomorrow. In the meanwhile, I recommend visiting the cable car museum in SF, what a neat little place! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
