I was looking at the statistics from the maritime reports, folks. The reason I’m here is because I have friends on board and was seeing if there’s news. I have sailed Princess, Norwegian, Celebrity, HAL…no name calling needed.

We’ve been on about 40 cruises, 5 lines. The last Carnival cruise I took was a nightmare…I will just leave it there. Look at the number of ships which have had mechanical problems.

Following a friend on the Pride. Last stop was Kiel. Ship stopped after Kiel area. Not the first time Carnival ship has had issue with propulsion. They are trying to turn it around and head back to port. Looks like cruise is over.

Thanks, people. Yes, I’ve been in Europe when strikes happen, once there was an accident and Munich was shut down. We are hiking in Italy the week before, arriving in Rotterdam night before cruise..that’s why I don’t want to spend another evening. I might just fly one way and change airlines. Apppreciate your comments.

Greetings. Trying to book flights, really don’t want to spend another night in Europe. They changed port from Amsterdam to Rotterdam, which I understand is a 30 min or so train, but catching it may be iffy? Ship arrival 6 am, I know there’s clearance time. The flights are at 11 on Delta..I realize that’s pushing it, but we will transport our own luggage. I’ve found another flight at noon, a lot more expensive. Your thoughts?
