Steven89 Posted March 9, 2016 #1 Share Posted March 9, 2016 Carnival Sunshine has not been cleared by local officials in Curacao for the past 1 hour and 45 minutes. No specific reason given by Carnival as of yet. They have been providing updates every 20 minutes or so; basically it sounds like something unusual has caused a delay. Updates to follow.

Steven89 Posted March 9, 2016 Author #3 Share Posted March 9, 2016 Update: Captain just stated that he has pushed back the departure until 5 pm tonight; this gives passengers an extra hour in Curacao. Unfortunately, we are still on the ship. Port is still closed. Updates to follow... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jnwinos Posted March 9, 2016 #11 Share Posted March 9, 2016 That would include staff members too! On our last sailing my husband witnessed 2 staff members leave the bathroom without washing their hands. One was a bartender! And neither were in their changing their clothes.
