I could have told them that)ģ- two back to back blackouts where people got stuck in elevatorsĤ- coming into NYC at one am instead of the morning due to weather so casino, stores, and drink programs ended early. No casino or stores.Ģ- instead of changing ports where the seas were not so rough plowed through to get to half moon cat only to be told seas were too rough to tender ( hello. So to recap:ġ-first night stayed in NYC due to weather.

Last morning we go to leave our cabin at about 7:44 am to go get breakfast before debark and the hallway is filled with a line of people the length of the ship with all their luggage looking to get off at the second floor gangway! I had to fight our way out of there and was told someone gained because it was so hot and long of a wait! Craziest thing I ever saw. So I’ll end this story with the last messed up thing. That's winter cruising for you - weather from week to week could be so different. Come to find out, we were late leaving OR because the maintenance work took longer than expected. Thankfully the lights came back on about 10 minutes later and stayed on this time. We were in an interior cabin so it was pitch black in our room. While I'm in the shower, the lights go off.and there was no water! I had conditioner in my hair and was in the middle of shaving my legs! My very prepared roomie, had a small flashlight, so I used that light to finish shaving and used one of the big bottles of water to rinse out my hair. I decided to hop in the shower and start getting ready for dinner. We got back on the ship and lights were working and we were preparing to depart (or so we thought!).

They had said that there would be periods while we were docked in OR that the power would be offline. We were at our last stop in Ocho Rios and the ship was having some scheduled maintenance work done while in port. Years ago I was on a cruise to the Western Caribbean. I bet it wasn't much fun going 45 minutes with just emergency lighting, and I'm guessing that messed up dinner for anyone who hadn't finished eating yet.
