Anthem keeps docking us around

[TOMXGRACE]

you can tell who are real cruisers and who are not. more than half the posts are not on the ship.

Just in case you find yourself in New York with some free time.

I find myself in New York with some free time every weekend so this is very helpful 😊. This winter has been all about museums for me with the kids.

What horror??!! They were in 25-30ft seas. I would hardly call that "horror." Uncomfortable, maybe. But horror? Good Lord. You really need to stop with this sensationalism.

 

You are delusional. Watch the videos and look at the photos.

I don't want to add insult to injury, but if the claims administrator takes a strict interpretation stance on your claim (many do), your hotel, food and other incidental expenses most likely will NOT be covered under the RCL policy. If you read the definition of end date, your cruise ends when you reach port. Your trip is NOT delayed it is over. Even if they don't take a strict view of your situation your delay benefit is only $500 per policy holder. I worked in the travel insurance industry for many years. I liken it to a casino, odds are always with the house or in this case the insurance company.

Thank you i know this horse has been dead and apologize for beating it some more but THIS. Lets stop already. To take a quote from a previous discussion, noone had to poop in a bucket. Does it suck? Yeah, big time. A plan not going according to plan always sucks. Is it life changing? Maybe for some. I envy them.

I did and I saw 25-30ft seas. You need to put away your copy of The Perfect Storm and focus on what factually happened in this case. Better yet, stay faaar away from cruising if you think 25-30ft seas is "horror."

[CruiseHealing]

I wonder how long the line was? Not the line of passengers getting off the ship. But the lawyers (or as I really call them: "whore-yers") that are ready to make a fast buck

[Big_G]

LOL! You really shouldn't step one foot on that ship. They'll need to sedate you the entire trip. Stay home. Let hubby take someone who wants to go. :D

[Bosjoe]

No, actually its not enough. They should have never been put through the horror. Nothing is really "enough". The 50% is BS anyway cause I don't think many of them are going to be booking another cruise anytime soon.

 

It might not be enough for you, but you seem your the type that nothing is good enough. By rights they do not have to offer anything, if you ever read the cruise contract you be amazed. A good amount of people will be happy with what RCCL has done in this situation, and of course there are people that there is no pleasing, these are the first people in line saying what are you going to give me.

 

Go back watching the news and listening to them sensationalize this situation.

yup, we won't charge you for almost killing you the first time so we will only charge half to try again .

 

That was dramatic :)

 

So I'm assuming you won't accept/use the 50% off another RCCL cruise?

 

It's unfortunate at this time, so much is out of your control. Hang in there and try to make the best of a bad situation.

[3CatsInMA]

I think I'll post this on every page.

 

 

Prediction: You're gonna be very busy today!!

Exactly, some of these people think there should be no waves and they cruise on a lake.

If someone had died or was seriously injured I would be with you on nothing really ever being enough. This is how I felt when I first starting hearing about the compensation concordia survivors were being offered (I remember seeing a dollar amount offer and thinking that if my whole family was there and got out ok, that the value would be ok for the interruption, terror etc but if someone had been seriously injured or was dead there was no way that value would be acceptable).

 

I think in the end we do have to remember that although this was an awful experience in the end everyone came out of it ok. Scared and maybe out of vacation time but no permanent damage. Things could have been much worse.

With all due respect I think for many it was a horror. Look at their faces in this video. This was just the beginning for them before being directed to their cabins.

Did you also see the furniture flying around the balcony, the video of water coming into the cabin from the balcony of a cabin on the 10th deck, all of the damage done to the ship including a radar ball being forced to crash down on deck, all of the glass panels that crashed down on the deck, broken glass all over peoples cabins?? Sorry, this was more than a little inconvenience. So take your sarcasm and stick it where the sun don't shine and stop saying it was nothing. This was a horror, why don't you talk to Shaun who is actually on the cruise, and many of the passengers that they are interviewing on the news. Horror is just one of the words they are using to describe it and all of them stated that they truly feared for their lives.

This would be a reason for outside insurance and not the cruise lines where your trip isn't over until your at your home airport.

You are not the only cruise expert. I am no novice when it comes to cruising. I've been on 20+ cruises. I worked outside sales for a travel agent taking groups on cruises for over 10 years. You can save your insults. My "hubby" and I will have a wonderful vacation regardless of what decision we make regarding this cruise.

[MommaBear55]

You are delusional. Watch the videos and look at the photos.

 

And that is all you can do, as you were not even on this cruise. I would prefer hearing about this cruise only from those who were on it, because only they know what this was like.

Dear lord, cancel your cruise! I have been reading your negativity and nastiness since Sunday and have had enough to not remain silent. YOU are not on that ship! Obviously you just like drama! God help anyone who encounters you on your cruise. They should be comped a drink package!

I wish they would at least remove the ones that say "sailed" and create their list into a smaller one. It would save me a lot of mouse rolling or Ipad finger pushing.

 

Edit: I totally get your joke too.

 

Actual space-wise, it's only 4 lines longer than yours...

....and bash RCI every step of the way. :rolleyes:

I wouls have been the one laughing in the back ground as this is fun, that's just me because I like big waves and the motion. As someone did laugh in that video.

So I could be wrong but aren't they receiving a 50% Future Cruise Credit? I thought I remember seeing that is what they were getting in addition to the refund for this sailing. A 50% FCC is different than 50% off a future cruise. Basically they will get a voucher (think gift certificate) that is valued at 50% of what they paid for this sailing. That FCC will most likely expire in 1 year. Depending on how much they spent and what they use it on, they could end up with a close to a free cruise from that voucher.
