Stressing about Brilliance on the 28th

Ugh. I can't imagine what everyone stuck in hotels in Tampa are thinking right now with the fog situation. We have 4 of us going on Saturday and we are all now wondering if we will be able to make it if the fog hangs around for the rest of the week. Hopefully things will clear up and the cruisers can make the most of their cruise once they board and we will be able to get on ours.

I feel bad for the folks that were supposed to start their cruise yesterday. If this goes much longer, their cruise may be cancelled.

It's cancelled. From the other thread:

Delay - Brilliance of the Seas

February 24, 2015

2:30 p.m. E.S.T

Due to foggy conditions that have delayed Brilliance of the Seas' previous cruise – and are forecast to continue for the next few days -- we have made a decision to cancel the February 23 sailing.

We understand that this was not what our guests were expecting, and not what we said last night, and we share in their disappointment.

Royal Caribbean International will provide each guest with a full refund of the cruise fare paid. Cruise fare refunds will automatically be processed back to original form of payment. Please allow four to six weeks for all transactions to be processed.

Royal Caribbean would also like to provide these guests with the opportunity to sail with us again. We will be providing each guest with a future cruise certificate for 25% of the cruise fare paid for their February 23, 2015, Brilliance of the Seas sailing. This certificate may be used for a future cruise on any Royal Caribbean ship within the next year. Future cruise certificates will be mailed to your home address or travel agent within six to eight weeks.

Again, we thank our guests for their ongoing patience and understanding throughout this unfortunate situation.

Unfortunate for those who should have sailed yesterday. But, on a positive the ship should be waiting for you to embark.

I have always dreamed of being stuck on a ship but can't imagine the stresses of those stuck on board right now.

Yeah, I feel so bad for those who got their cruise cancelled. I suppose we would try to salvage our vacation and stay in Florida somewhere. Hopefully all the fog is gone by the 28th.

We're on it,too. Making backup plans just in case.
