I think we walked by after watching the comedian.   I just got back from Bolaros and also walking around casino.  Tonight was the third time I walked up to watch someone on the slots and they hit big on the second pull.  Tonight the second and third pull.  I know it wouldn't work if I did it.

This might be a good way for the crew to get higher wages.  Crew now allowed to go to whatever ships pays them  the most like a bonus to come join their ship.

 

All this crew swapping has to be a large strain on each ship when trying to do a great job servicing the ships the correct way.

 

This is probably why the crew isn' t happy because they are doing jobs that they weren't hired for or trained for.

This is beginning to look like the new normal.  We’re scheduled for an Alaska at the ending of May.  Beginning to wonder if it’s worthwhile.

Thanks to everyone who have been posting. I’ve been enjoying this most interesting ride along on Harmony. 😎

Looks like we got back $99.59

 

Based on $759 per cabin it seems accurate

This just reeks of unprofessionalism.  They KNEW BEFORE THE SHIP LEFT PORT.  as of this afternoon I can still reserve and pay for a Cabana and Jetski in Labadee...These people email me twice a day with future cruise offerings, but can't be bothered to notify me in advance of my cruise?  it's not that they can't, its that they WON'T!

If you had any kind of experience with RCI or CC, you’d know not to expect any.

At $759 per cabin, why stay home plus obc from missed ports for spending onboard. On no now you have to spend more money on yourself. Another massage?  Sounds like a awesome ship and so fun. Wish I was there.

Having dinner at CK...noticed we are doing a total 360.   Heading back into St. Maarten again.  Orville99...I think you need to rename this cruise...Mr Toad's wild ride!  

Fitting analogy. This cruise bears about as much resemblance to a typical Harmony cruise as the Disney short bears to the book. The Wind in the Willows is actually very dark and somewhat onerous. This is more of a wind in the willows cruise than aToad’s Wild Ride..

 

BTW, we’ve had enough. Just got off the phone with C&A desk and we cancelled our second leg. Stay safe everyone.

Our B2B Radiance Alaska cruise was cancelled in 2019, plus we had a two week "do it yourself" tour for 2 weeks before, with a rental SUV during that land based trip.  

 

We simply extended to 2 extra weeks on the SUV rental, kept the same flights, and added a rental cabin on for two weeks.  Was beautiful and gave us a chance to discover Homer.  Loved it!  

 

Lemonade out of Lemons.  😉

That is a more than generous accommodation for missing a port. Put it all on a Fire Link machine. Love those.

We had OBC added for missing St. Thomas last week equal to one day fare, but they did not refund the port fees, as they are doing this week .

But you are missing that it's refundable OBC.  So if I don't spend it on myself,  I have to take it home!  Not only that I had to take a credit for my internet package when they moved me to a GS.  So now I am sitting here wondering as my legs are heating up.

 

Maybe I should choose another cruise line.  Like the one passing by now.

So while I am considering it all while seating on the balcony that has now cost a net $629 upgrade, what's next.

 

Maybe I will just lay back and enjoy.  

I hope I didn't mess up this post.  Hard to see my screen with all this sun beating down.  Please don't feel sorry for me, I will figure it all out.

[island lady]

LOL...totally agree there!  With the 300 OBC we had originally (Next Cruise, Stock perk, and points), and now the missed port OBC, it almost paid for our whole upgrade.  😄 

 

Same thing happened last week...but that one paid for the whole thing.  😉

As they say, "You gotta do what you gotta do."

 

It's nice that it's an easy option when you live so close.

Pat, when tough days happen, like when RC makes you take back credit, you have to fight though it. If it gets too tough I will try to find you later and help talk or drink through it.   I had planned to join y'all for breakfast but was to lazy to go up.  Guess I stayed up to late.  Maybe tomorrow morning.

Oh yes...has been very tough (insert sigh here)....but we seem to be soldiering through it.  Probably the alcohol has something to do with it.  🥴

Sorry you're no joining us.  Would have bought you a drink.  But yes, if its going to be a repeat, I can understand.
