Carnival Sunshine Delayed Entry to Curacao

[Steven89]

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.

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.

has anyone seen health officials on board? that is what happened to us on the sailing just before the one you are on now- health officials boarded at our first port (st martin)- we were allowed to go ashore but then we found out there was norovirus going around

[Steven89]

Port has been opened. No explanation given for the delay. There were a variety of port / immigration officials that boarded initially.

Old people need to learn to wash their damn hands!!!!

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. Lol

I wasn't dissing old people.

Is it closed in general, or just this ship?
