We embark on Friday.  Just got a notice that Vista will be bypassing Saguenay Quebec.   Below is part of the email we recieved. 

some technical adjustments and testing are required during the initial period of operation. To finalize the initial commissioning period of Vista’s advanced wastewater treatment plant and accommodate the required testing, we will unfortunately need to bypass Saguenay on October 2. Vista will arrive in in Sydney as per the original schedule, at 9 a.m. on October 4, with the remainder of the itinerary unchanged.

 

 

 

Anyone else had this issue ?

Recieved a message that disembarkation will be delayed by 2 hours.   Check in time was 12:30 now 2:00pm.

Disembarkation  in Miami or Montreal?

 

We got the letter  for the delay in embarkation  on the 29th

Thanks depnding upon how delayed we are, I might join you.  We expereinced a similar delay boarding a few years ago on the Marina and based on that expereince I think we were not be onboard until around 3:30pm    Montreal cruise terminal is new but not very large.

Delay is not as bad as what happened in 2018.  Water levels were too high in Montreal and the cruise departed from Trois Rivieres.  Almost 3 hr bus ride from Montreal airport.  Arriving passengers ended cruise with an overnight in Trois Rivieres and a bus ride to airport.  Decision was only made the day before.

2 pm doesn't sound that bad😀

Did  anyone other than @gentlemancruiser  get the memo of the   cruise disembarking 2 hrs late?

 

The  memo  i got said

 

Dear Valued Guests and Travel Advisors,

 

I am writing to you to inform you of a delay in embarkation for your upcoming Oceania Cruises vacation aboard Vista.

 

In order to accommodate the vessel’s operational needs, embarkation will follow the amended schedule as noted below:

 

12:00 PM – Owner’s, Vista and Oceania Suites

1:00 PM – Penthouse Suites

2:00 PM – Concierge Level Veranda Staterooms and all other staterooms

We were at 11 now it’s 2 so I don’t know when the checkout time of our hotel is 11 or 12 so I have a couple hours of sitting around 

Ask the hotel if they will store your bags after check out  go enjoy some of Montreal sites & cuisine

 Or go sit at the port  until they allow you to board

Yup!  Our flight lands at 11:30 so we've got some sitting around to do as well....  would go shopping but don't want to be pulling bags around the city.
