dvpaintboy Posted April 23, 2017 #1 Share Posted April 23, 2017 We are due to depart Saturday Afternoon on an transatlantic cruse on the Rhapsody. If no compromise and the government closes,what effect would there possibly be with departures? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wine-O Posted April 23, 2017 #2 Share Posted April 23, 2017 We are due to depart Saturday Afternoon on an transatlantic cruse on the Rhapsody. If no compromise and the government closes,what effect would there possibly be with departures? Hey, we're on the same cruise -- pop over to the Roll Call and say hello. http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=2367328&page=88 I wouldn't be too concerned. They'll just have non-essential people told not to come to work. It will only be a partial shutdown. Customs and Immigration folks will still be required to come to work, especially with those disembarking the morning of the 29th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackshirt Posted April 23, 2017 #3 Share Posted April 23, 2017 What federal government services would you need? There is no customs at embarkation. If you're flying TSA lines may be longer but that's all I can think of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dvpaintboy Posted April 23, 2017 Author #4 Share Posted April 23, 2017 Customs would be my consern as the prior cruise would be required to go through customs and could mess up next group boarding.We are flying in before so air is no problem.

ONECRUISER Posted April 23, 2017 #5 Share Posted April 23, 2017 Way it's happened in past while I worked for the Gov't is only things like Museums, lower priority services close. Security will be the same... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calakerfan00 Posted April 23, 2017 #6 Share Posted April 23, 2017 Essentials employees, for example, U.S. Customs, Border Patrol, TSA and etc will still be doing their current duties if the government does shutdown. They will basically be working for free until the government opens back up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
