Seems like every cruise I'm on, some end up disembarking at the very first cruise port. I hope that they have insurance. Also, they may have had an emergency. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have to bevel in prep to weld on patch. Anyone remember Grandeur of The Seas in 2005 when they hit the pier in Costa Maya? Huge football sized puncture mid ship. That was patched and in that shape until the next dry dock. Cheers, Norman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KLM3164 Posted July 7, 2023 #140 Share Posted July 7, 2023 For those who are onboard at least the weather has cleared up and there is some blue sky now. Holding out hope you all will be able to sail soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare PescadoAmarillo Posted July 7, 2023 #141 Share Posted July 7, 2023 People are reporting in Facebook that the Ruby will now depart San Francisco on Sunday for a 7-night cruise with Prince Rupert and Ketchikan as its only stops.

Rare SuzieQ521 Posted July 7, 2023 #142 Share Posted July 7, 2023 (edited) Yep, you are correct...only 2 Port stops.

rocklinmom Posted July 7, 2023 #144 Share Posted July 7, 2023 Wow who could have predicted this for those passengers! I hope they get fair compensation from Princess. Imagine the ones who have nonrefundable shore excursions booked in the ports they will now miss. But if I were them I wouldn't want to sail until I knew the Ruby was safe to hit the ocean.

Most tour groups are going to give you a refund if your ship doesn't make it into port. These companies run on good reviews and it wouldn't look good if they got a bunch of reviews for not allowing refunds to passengers that couldn't get there because of something outside of their control. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly this. The non-refundable provisions are generally around voluntary changes and cancellations. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ldtr Posted July 7, 2023 #147 Share Posted July 7, 2023 I expect the compensation to be in the 50% range. Maybe 50% refund and 50% fcc. will be interesting to see what it end up being. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare phonejock Posted July 7, 2023 #150 Share Posted July 7, 2023 I am sending prayers and good wishes for the crew, especially the bartenders. Whatever happens it is going to be a long week for them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
