Hi Guys, I'm on the 5.11.2019 cruise, just had a look at my Cruise Planner and it tells me that my cruise has started today in Lisbon and on the 4th day it will call into Southampton for a visit.

 

Wow, way to add insult to injury!

 

The 4th day is Friday, right? So as of now it is still supposed to leave Southampton on November 8? I wasn't sure if there were any more weather woes.

Schedule update, looks like we will make Southampton on Thursday night.

I see you arrived at Southampton at 20.00 on the 7th. Was there any explanation for this latest twist to the saga?

We have not arrived yet! 
Seas were not too rough and we made good time. I believe people can self disembark tonight if they wish.

Sorry, I think old age is setting in! The schedule now shows you as due to arrive at 20.15 this evening.

We are just passing Isle of Wight so almost there! Seas as flat as a pancake!

Explorer is docked in Southampton.

People were queuing with their luggage before she had even docked... as if they couldn’t wait to get off....🤷‍♀️

Glad to hear you have arrived!

It is now 12 November, the day the FCC is supposed to arrive in our email inbox. Has anyone received this yet?

[cruisestitch]

13 November and still no FCC 🙁

Have you called RCI? You may never receive a notification that it is available.

[cruisestitch]

That would be very disappointing. Their letter to us regarding the cancellation and the FCC said that we would receive notification on 12 November via email.

The person who wrote that letter probably doesn't realize how poorly e-mail notifications work with RCI's IT system.

On another cruise we were supposed to receive our FCC within 30 days. Waited 30 days and called. It had not even been issued yet. Service rep had me fax the FCC letter so that he could issue it. It worked out fine, but I am not impressed with their notification process. 

[cruisestitch]

Well, I am happy to report tt my email confirming my FCC has arrived in my inbox!  Just in time to apply to an upcoming Final Payment deadline😁😁😁👍

 

I hope others who were inconvenienced by the delay have also received their emails.
