shipgeeks Posted November 27, 2022 #1 Share Posted November 27, 2022 I suspect there is someone who can do needed repairs for officers and crew. Might a passenger be able to request a basic fix (buckle that comes off, etc.) while on a cruise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chengkp75 Posted November 27, 2022 #3 Share Posted November 27, 2022 There is almost always a tailor, but not a cobbler. The tailor may be able to stitch up some leather, if not too thick. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BklynBoy8 Posted November 27, 2022 #4 Share Posted November 27, 2022 On the QM2 we had my DW shoe fixed. Our stewardess sent to the machine engineer shop to have fixed. Good job 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reina del Mar Posted November 28, 2022 #5 Share Posted November 28, 2022 Totally off topic..but that is the excuse I use for taking more shoes than I actually need, in case one breaks !! I have read on here that people have had suitcase wheels/ handles repaired on ships, so there must be some sort of ‘handyman’ who could help out in an emergency.

ldubs Posted November 28, 2022 #6 Share Posted November 28, 2022 Hence that general PA announcement -- "Is there a cobbler in the house?"😀 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might a passenger be able to request a basic fix (buckle that comes off, etc.) while on a cruise? On our last Viking cruise, our cabin steward noted DW's sandals were requiring repairs. He took them away and returned a couple days later and they were repaired. Another pax on the same cruise put sandals in the bin. The cabin steward rescued them and had them repaired, returning them a couple of days later. However, as the Chief mentioned, this isn't always available. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
