No, that is conjecture. Weather is often the factor but, port decisions by the port authorities are also a factor. We just took a LA to Miami, through the Panama Canal cruise and were supposed to have an overnight in Panama City but the day before that, it was announced that we would not be doing the overnight and it was the port that decided it so, we anchored overnight. Folks that had ship excursions were refunded. Those with private tours were told to submit claims to Celebrity.

Look, all I am saying is that videos, depending when they are taken, can be as misleading as opinion and rumour. I find that this thread is full of speculation, accusation and innuendo. I have said early on, in this thread, that wait till the investigations by the proper authorities are over. Even out resident Captain agrees with that.

Videos without true context are as bad as rumours and opinion.

Food offerings? Shipboard schedule changes if port is missed happens all the time. Missed ports are not entirely on Celebrity. There can be many reasons. Blaming entirely Celebrity is misguided.

As I and others have said, speculation is fruitless. Witnesses are unreliable and the investigation will determine what happened. Some folks wold rather make accusations before they know the details. Oh and I too spend many winters in Hawaii.

And rife with speculations. I am just sayinfg that the investigation is yet to occur and the report will address the issue.As any investigator knows, 10 eye witnesses can have 10 different view points. 🙂

Do not over estimate access to the Bridge of a ship. All I am saying is it would be best to wait till the official report comes out.

Really? Run up to the bridge and inform the Captain of the rules he is breaking?? Please LOL

And your analogy is applicable how?? The action on Costa was dangerous and uncalled for, do you know what and why the action in Hawaii even took place?

I guess we will have to wait for the Division of Conservation and Resources Enforcement (DOCARE), land department and coast guard to finish their investigation and report as opposed to local residents and tour guide comments.

Celebrity's (and other cruise lines too) "exciting deals", sales. deals. offers, promotions or whatever other name are the same yesterday as were 3 months ago, 6 months ago , one year ago etc etc. They just change the name but the deal remains the same 🙂

IO am glad to hear you say that. I too read reviews that wee far from glowing but attribute it to people overestimating what they were getting (or not getting).

02 January till 12 January. Aruba, Curacao and Bonairre with Grand Cayman thrown in . Been on Caribbean cruises a lot and those are 3 places we have not seen.

Great to hear. Thanks a lot.

Thanks.
