Kathysum Posted June 11, 2004 #2 Share Posted June 11, 2004 Hi Dan, We are sailing on the cruise just before yours on July 10th. I will let you know how it goes. I am keeping my fingers crossed. Kathy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poy Posted June 11, 2004 #3 Share Posted June 11, 2004 Hi Dan, We were in the much talked about May22 sailing. The ship had the accident on its May 15 sailing. We were supposed to miss Juneau and Victoria due to our delayed departure ( brought about by the accident the night before) and the damage. Initially, they said the damage might compromise the speed, however I believe they were able to rectify this because they announced midway that we would be able to visit victoria after all. We made it to the other ports on time. On the last minute though,they had to cancel victoria again because the winds were strong and parking the ship was hard, though we were already there. Over all, diamond is a gorgeous ship, PC dining was great. Of course, missing 2 ports was a big blow to everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
