What.....My Cruise Was Just Canceled

This morning I received a text and a message on my cell phone stating our cruise had been canceled. Of course, I thought it was some mistake but in the back of my mind I remembered a blurb on the morning news about a Celebrity ship stuck in port in Ketchikan, Alaska.

 

What.....My Cruise Was Just Cancelled

 

Unfortunately, that was my ship which was taking us to Canada and then back down the western coast of the US. I recall many people on the news this morning were upset with another line who didn't give them plenty of notice so I have no complaint as I was notified within 25 days. The photo above, the Millennium ship is the ship that limped to port 9 hours late last night. I would rather cancel than be out in the ocean and have some major power failure. All cruises on the Millennium between now and September 25, will be canceled.

 

Well, time to plan my next cruise for 2014. Has anyone ever had this happen to them or been on a ship when it had power problems? It would be very scary as it is a big deep ocean with sharks and killer whales.

Kristin, that has to be a bummer. I agree with you, I would rather be safe at home than on a disabled ship in the middle of the ocean!

Hi Kathy,

 I was not even really excited about it as I am so busy and was going to work with my iPad but now I realize how unhappy I am now as I wanted to have 'High Tea' in Victoria.

Kristin - that's too bad and what are you going to do instead?  I'm sure you'll think of something fun.

Kristin, too bad your cruise got cancelled but like you say, it's better than being stuck on a limping ship! Hope your next cruising adventure will proceed as planned!

Sorry Kristin, maybe you are lucky? Who knows if it was not meant to be then better days might be coming through another vacation. If some of the things happened on this cruise that we have read about and heard on the news then you would have been even more unhappy.

Hi Kristin, I am so sorry to hear that your cruise was cancelled.  I have been on eight cruises but all with Royal Caribbean and no problems.  I know most the problems that we are hearing about in the news have to do with Caranival Cruises.  I would recommend trying Allure or Oasis of the Seas -- beautiful big ships and lots of things to do.  I loved both of them and you will too!

That is a sad story. You need to immediately make alternative plans.

Hi Toni,

I am moving soon so maybe it was a blessing and there is always springtime.

Hi Silvia,

When I recall what happened to the poor people on the Carnival cruise, I think I would never want that to happen to us. We always get a balcony so we could sleep and stay away from the odors though. I am glad we knew before we flew to Canada and found out then as some cruise lines do not notify their customers.

Hi Noah,

Yes the next one will be spectacular and Celebrity has already told us they are giving us 25% off so that is a great deal.

Hi Karen,

We have done Carnival, Princess and Celebrity. Celebrity and Royal Caribbean are owned by the same company and we prefer them as it is an older bunch and not many kids. We might try Royal Caribbean though and I will check out your other recommendations too. Thanks.

Hi Patricia,

We might just go to San Francisco for a few days or just get ready for our move.

Hi Roy,

Yes we will as we need a little vacation but maybe after the move. We are selling our house and moving to a single story home with fewer bedrooms and bathrooms. I do not need 3300 sf ft anymore as we are empty nesters.
