TXRed Posted March 19, 2006 #1 Share Posted March 19, 2006 Does anyone know what time the Conquest got into port this morning? And why it was late arriving? We will be sailing her next week! WOOHOO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustwork2cruise Posted March 19, 2006 #2 Share Posted March 19, 2006 Not sure.... But, the week I am on her she can be late coming back to port!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oooohDonna Posted March 19, 2006 #3 Share Posted March 19, 2006 It was almost 8AM when she pulled in. I was wondering, what if the ship is late and you missed your flight? Would have to be alot later than that for us to miss it, but what if you did? Would Carnival be responsible to compensate you for a missed flight if it was their fault?

KruznKel Posted March 19, 2006 #4 Share Posted March 19, 2006 Would Carnival be responsible to compensate you for a missed flight if it was their fault? Not unless you booked air with Carnival.. otherwise travel insurance would cover missed flights.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
musicmansmom Posted March 19, 2006 #5 Share Posted March 19, 2006 that is why i always book a late afternoon flight out. you neve know what might happen to hold you up. i can always find something to do when i get off the ship before going to the airport. or people watching at the gate is fun or checking out the shops in the airport can pass the time :) . of course i have always been one to be early for anything ;) .

bennyblanco Posted March 19, 2006 #6 Share Posted March 19, 2006 The strange thing is that the coast guard is guarding the ships all the time, maybe this has to do something with the late arrival. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do that with all ships.. We had the coast guard outside out ship when leaving Miami.. docking in St. Thomas.. and on return.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FantaSea Posted March 20, 2006 #9 Share Posted March 20, 2006 It was just on the 10 o'clock news here in Houston. They stopped to pick up a raft with a dozen people from Cuba on it. They had been floating out there for 2 weeks. I think they picked them up somewhere around Jamaica. Passengers took up a donation for clothes for them. All 12 were kept on a secure place on the ship.

Snoozeman Posted March 20, 2006 #11 Share Posted March 20, 2006 Both stories say they will stay with the ship until they reach Miami. How are they going to get them to Miami from the Conquest? They may be still on there when I go again in August.:rolleyes: If they touch US soil they become refugee's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dchi72 Posted March 20, 2006 #12 Share Posted March 20, 2006 Yes, we picked up refugees on the way to Jamaica, but that is not why we were late. A passenger had to be evacuated from the ship after leaving Cozumel. She was sent to the ICU in Cancun. That is why we were so late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
