gentlemancruiser Posted September 25, 2023 #1 Share Posted September 25, 2023 We embark on Friday. Just got a notice that Vista will be bypassing Saguenay Quebec. Below is part of the email we recieved. some technical adjustments and testing are required during the initial period of operation. To finalize the initial commissioning period of Vista’s advanced wastewater treatment plant and accommodate the required testing, we will unfortunately need to bypass Saguenay on October 2. Vista will arrive in in Sydney as per the original schedule, at 9 a.m. on October 4, with the remainder of the itinerary unchanged. Anyone else had this issue ?

Rare MVPinBoynton Posted September 25, 2023 #5 Share Posted September 25, 2023 If I can use the $500 PP FCC for a future booking, I will be quite pleased. I always want another O cruise. 😁 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We expereinced a similar delay boarding a few years ago on the Marina and based on that expereince I think we were not be onboard until around 3:30pm Montreal cruise terminal is new but not very large.

Rare cruisingxpert Posted September 26, 2023 #14 Share Posted September 26, 2023 Delay is not as bad as what happened in 2018. Water levels were too high in Montreal and the cruise departed from Trois Rivieres. Almost 3 hr bus ride from Montreal airport. Arriving passengers ended cruise with an overnight in Trois Rivieres and a bus ride to airport. Decision was only made the day before. 2 pm doesn't sound that bad😀 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
