Colo Cruiser Posted December 21, 2008 #26 Share Posted December 21, 2008 Mattresses were never mentioned previously, only 'stopping leaks', painting (aren't they always??), new carpets and a Sanctuary.We all wait with baited breath..................... Leaks??? That is a new one. :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toto2Kansas Posted December 21, 2008 #27 Share Posted December 21, 2008 Leaks??? That is a new one. :eek: Oh Yea, lots and lots of leaks is what was reported to me. Dripping light fixture type leaks (liguid electric is I think how it was put to me) with buckets underneath. Hopefully they at least got that fixed.

Toto2Kansas Posted December 21, 2008 #29 Share Posted December 21, 2008 Coming from where?? :eek: Not sure, she really didn't know. All she knew is that passengers (including them) could see the water dripping out of the light fixtures on the ceiling of some of the public rooms, and the staff had buckets underneath to catch the water. Not sure if it was a plumbing problem or fire protection leak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toto2Kansas Posted December 21, 2008 #31 Share Posted December 21, 2008 Amazing. Let us know when you hear from your friends. :) Yep, sure will. Still haven't heard anything. We are on the next sailing, so we are also very interested in if they at least were able to stop the leaks. Doesn't sound too pleasent with buckets catching the drips and drops in the public areas. She didn't mention any reported leaks inside the staterooms though, but then, I didn't ask to tell you the truth. Will let you know if I hear anything from them. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kssunflower Posted December 21, 2008 #34 Share Posted December 21, 2008 We are on the Jan. 16 sailing. There's no place like Kansas...I mean there's no place like Princess. Too cold in Kansas right now...looking forward to the being on the Grand in Caribbean! There's no place like Princess...there's no place like Princess...there's no place like Princess...

dot73 Posted December 21, 2008 #35 Share Posted December 21, 2008 I wonder what's happening on the Grand right now.:rolleyes: Have you noticed that since the ship left the Bahamas, the bridge cam hasn't been working?? I'm on board on Jan. 30 and can't wait to try the Sanctuary on sea days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GSDsky Posted December 21, 2008 #36 Share Posted December 21, 2008 You don't enjoy port credit at this time of year? It's working now.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dot73 Posted December 21, 2008 #37 Share Posted December 21, 2008 I love Port Credit. I even go down there in the winter time and feed the ducks and swans. Today, however, I probably would have been blown into Lake Ontario. Right now, I think I would rather be on the Grand, in spite of the hard mattress.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisinsoooon Posted December 22, 2008 #38 Share Posted December 22, 2008 Anybody out there cruising on the Grand checking these boards? Since we're cruising on her soon, we're anxious to hear what upgrades took place, and how everything else is! We cruised her in 1998 when she was new, so we're anxious, hoping she will be as exciting now as she was when she was the "largest cruise ship in the world" back then!

I am starting to think the internet access onboard must be down. I still haven't heard from our friends onboard and she has not answered any of my emails. That along with nobody else reporting from the ship has got me wondering if there isn't an internet problem onboard right now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GSDsky Posted December 22, 2008 #40 Share Posted December 22, 2008 Would have meant 7 days wet dock I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kodiac Posted December 23, 2008 #41 Share Posted December 23, 2008 Toto - I would agree with you as I am sure we would have heard from them now. I hope they have the Internet fixed by the time we join them cause it would be nice to report back to cruise critic and family members and rub in what a wonderful time we are having. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
