Golden is delayed..

I'm sitting on the balcony of my lovely and comfortable state room... looking at the bridge from pier 93. We were supposed to leave around 3:30, and there was an announcement that we would be delayed till after 9. It's now 10:19, and about a half hour ago we were informed that work being done wasn't done yet, and we won't leave till after 1am. I asked a crew member, and he said the propeller was being worked on. So.. Just in case this info interests or helps anyone, there it is. I'm not thrilled, but at least I'm on the ship!

Hope you get underway soon...... I'm sailing on her on Oct 5th... Perhaps,bent blade

Bummer... well, at least your next destination isn't far away... :)

Enjoy the drink watching the water - you are on a cruise ship any way.

I am sure you will have a great cruise when they get going Bon Voyage

Oh yes, I'd definitely rather be stuck here than moving at home!

Maybe order some room service then kick back and enjoy :)

Go down to the Piazza and listen to the Los Brillantes. Tell Pedro high from GREG,

He is the one on the left as you are looking at the Trio from the front.

Greg

We so wish we were in your position right now :p

We'll be at work tomorrow.

Has anyone said they were suffering from seasickness? :p

I'm on the Golden right now as well. 4:00am (Pacific) and we are still docked. :( This is our first Princess cruise, celebrating an anniversary. We've had a great time so far, but the delay puts a tiny damper on our enjoyment. At least we are supposed to be at sea today with our next port of call being Santa Barbara, so I know we don't have to sail far.

OP, Did you do your lifeboat drill at the Princess Theater? I found it ironic (and a bit unprofessional) that one of the crew members poked fun at Carnival and called their ships "rust buckets", yet here we are, still docked because of mechanical issues while the Carnival Imagination did sail out. :rolleyes:

That's not fun, hope you aren't late to your first port. Have a good cruise.

4:45, we are still docked. No announcements made. :/

Our muster was in the Vista lounge. How ironic that the crew would say that about the carnival ships!

We are supposed to be at sea today, Santa Barbara tomorrow, and Ensenada Wed. With the cruse being only three full days, sitting so long in port is a bummer.

I wonder if they would make that same comment, now that you have been delayed over 12 hours with technical issues. They are rusty but sailing.....

Karma :eek:

DH forgot his toothbrush, but none of the stores opened because we were in port, so no toothbrush. We are we are still docked at 7:10 am. No casino either last night, as far as I know.

We are moving! Yay! It's going to be a good day! :)

Well, bon voyage and good luck.

We were on the Sept. 24th 4 day cruise. Didn't leave San Pedro until 11:10 p.m. that night. Were told it had to have repair work on the pool??:rolleyes:

Good to hear you are moving....I'm on the Oct 20th cruise and want her broken in....not broken :)

hope you have fair winds and following seas for the remainder of your cruise.

... Perhaps,bent blade

They're gonna need a bigger hammer ...

Glad you are underway. Thanks for the updates. Have a great cruise

Have a great cruise...glad to see you got going, albeit a little late...

It reminds me...

Many years ago, NCL used to have a ship in LA, the old Norwegian Southward...

We went on it on one of our first cruises...had a great time and told my sister and brother-in-law all about it...

So they booked a cruise on her...

When they went, the ship was having some engine problems...

The ENTIRE cruise, they NEVER left LA Harbor!

Luckily, it did not ruin them on cruising...they've been on many since...

But neither of us has cruised with NCL since...

We're going together November 23 on the Golden Princess...

It had better make it out of San Pedro or they'll blame it on me...

We are moving! Yay! It's going to be a good day! :)

Yay!! Now, get off of CC and go have fun. :)

I'm on the one just before that. I do not want to spend the cruise at the dock. However, our first stop is San Diego, so...

I don't mind being stuck at the dock, as long as I am on a ship. Of course we enjoy the ports and being at sea, but hey as long as we are on the ship, we are golden. ;)
