We disembarked the Vista today in Galveston. We had a rough embarkation last week as it was delayed in arriving. Almost two hours in line outside of the cruise terminal in the warm afternoon last week when boarding. Then late yesterday, on our final sea day, they announced we would again be delayed coming into Galveston. No information as to why, but I suspect a continued propulsion problem? Why didn't they modify our itinerary to get us back in time or let everyone know well in advance that there was going to be delay again? Thankfully we had our car at the port, but we felt bad for people with scheduled transportation. It was just a frustrating day, not only for us trying to get off the ship, but I am sure for the people boarding.
I have many complaints about the way everything was handled, but I just wish they would have been more communicative. I would think everyone would have rather had a couple hours less port time (though it was already short as it was) and get back on time then go through the whole delay mess. We asked a few employees about possible propulsion problems, but nobody knew anything or wasn't saying as much.
