Well,at least they are getting their cruise,and some obc..

She sails on Fridays.Yes? Have they been in Nassau since Yesterday?

They are missing 2 great ports,but at least they get to continue their cruise.

I am sailing on the Glory 2/26/05.What are the chances that the propulsion systems will be fully repaired for that sailing?Please provide any updates on this

subject as they become available.Should i call Carnival? ARRRRRRRGGGHHHH.

That really sucks. The Glory isn't even 2 years old yet.

Your caps lock key is also stuck, but not in Nassau!

hahaha, actually they could be stuck in Nassau because the ship is in Nassau and the keyboard is on the ship. ;)

OMG....I just got off the Glory yesterday! DH and I were on her for two weeks doing a back to back. We didn't notice any kind of problems. That's really a bummer for the passengers on board. I don't think 100.00 credit is a very good compensation for missing two ports!

We were wondering what happened with John Herald. He came aboard as CD for our second week and then mid week they annouced he had a family emergency and had to fly home. I'm really sorry to hear he had a death in the family.

Brn2Crz - Glory sails on Saturdays out of Port Canaveral not Fridays.

This really stinks for the passengers currently on the Glory. Key West is fun but doesn't make up for missing St. Thomas and St. Maarten.

just off the phone with carnival, glory is disabled and is being worked on as we type this, keep fingers cross for repair for future cruises...we are cruising on 2/26 we hope

Thanks...That makes more sense..I was looking at the Itin,on Priceline..It shows March cruises on 4th,11th,18th and 25th..I guess their website is wrong.:rolleyes:

Better than being stuck in Galveston..Its 547..Elation was due out at 430.

She is still there.

Better stuck on the ship in Nassau and key west than driving a delivery route in northeast florida anyday.

I really hope that get everything fixed by Saturday - at least the people this week are out on a boat. We are scheduled to be on Glory 2/26, I wonder what will happen if she isn't fixed by then? :eek:

Glory does not have an Azipod system... of the Carnival fleet, only Elation, Paradise and the Spirt class ships have Azipod.

We are going on our fourth cruise in April (not on the Glory) and are now wondering what does happen if a ship cannot sail due to mechanical problems? What if you fly out the day before and the cruise is cancelled?

missing ports because of weather, is one thing. I wouldnt expect any comp. but missing two very good ports because of mech. problems you would think they would give guests more then $100. If its ship credit, they get it back. $100 is like $25, cost to Carnival, if not less:rolleyes:

Forget what I said. Sorry for misleasing information

Put the word Contract, or cruise contract in the search. You will be shocked. I was. As the Cruise Contract states, THey owe you nothing:eek:

Actually if your cruise is cancelled completely before you board the ship I do believe you will get a full refund. However you will not be reimbursed for travel expenses. That is what your travel insurance is for.

A few years back Carnival had to cancel a cruise prior to departure due to a hurricane. If I recall correctly the passengers were given a full refund and a hefty discount off of a future cruise.

However once you leave the port it is correct that the cruiseline owes you nothing. We broke an azipod and missed a port and had a hurricane....I think we got $50 credit per person and lots and lots of free cocktails. We still had a very good time.

We received a letter in the mail prior to cruising on Dawn Princess that we would not be going to their private island Princess Cayes. Later we found out that due to mechanical errors on the cruise ship, we were unable to make it to 6 ports in 10 days. Princess credited our account $200 per person ($400 total). This made for a great start to a wonderful honeymoon. Later we found out that Grand Cayman would be canceled due to the hurricane passing through.

It was a great time and I am glad Princess gave us money (that they received back after we spent it). If the port is canceled due to other reasons, it should not be compensated.

We're sailing on the Glory 4/9 - hopefully, this thread will keep updating so future cruisers will be updated???

For what exact "LOSS" should guests be compensated?

Seems funny I can't find anything about this elsewhere on the web. You'd think it would be all over the news.

Read your cruise contract. Carnival has been more than generous.

One could always have availed themselves of the Carnival Vacation Guarantee if it were *that* bad.

Not entirely true on Carnival. See their vacation guarantee at http://www.carnival.com/CMS/static_templates/vacation-guarantee.aspx
