pepdav Posted March 9, 2017 Report Posted March 9, 2017 Just got a letter telling us not to show up at the terminal till between 5:30pm and 7:30pm. Apparently they have maintenance work to do that requires no guests be on board till after 5:30pm. They are compensating us $25.00 per person in the form of an obc. Katelynnhab 1 Quote
monctonguy Posted March 9, 2017 Report Posted March 9, 2017 Sorry to hear that. That is pretty short notice. Not to mention that on a short cruise, missing that first afternoon is very disappointing and would make the cruise feel much shorter imho. Quote
Ogalthorpe Haywood Posted March 9, 2017 Report Posted March 9, 2017 I agree, $25 does not make up for 4-5 hours of vacation time especially on a short cruise. Quote
Matt Posted March 9, 2017 Report Posted March 9, 2017 Sorry to hear about that inconvenience. You might consider arriving to the port a bit earlier than 5:30. There is a bar (Grills) nearby that you can see the terminal and ship from. Better than waiting in a hotel room. PRC and RestingBird 2 Quote
monorailmedic Posted March 9, 2017 Report Posted March 9, 2017 Sorry to hear about that inconvenience. You might consider arriving to the port a bit earlier than 5:30. There is a bar (Grills) nearby that you can see the terminal and ship from. Better than waiting in a hotel room. Agreed. Wait in comfort, and close enough by that you can get there as early as you might be able to board. If you booked via a TA I'd also reach out to see if they're able to get RCI to do anything better in terms of compensation. I'd keep a keen eye on social media to look out for anyone arriving earlier than that time who is able to board. Quote

KLA Posted March 10, 2017 Report Posted March 10, 2017 While a late departure is truly disappointing, having it happen at Port Canaveral is probably the least of evils. I really truly enjoy all the little bars and restaurants along the Cove area. It doesn't look like much, but definitely check out Seafood Atlantic. It's half seafood shop, half restaurant. I once spent a wonderful afternoon there drinking a local IPA and snacking on fresh oysters and shrimp. Grill's is another huge favorite of mine, and worth stopping by for breakfast. And then of course Fishlips... coneyraven 1 Quote
Razorrayy Posted March 11, 2017 Report Posted March 11, 2017 This would simply suck, if you had a drink package you would likely drink more than $25 worth of drinks and not need to pay for them at a local restaurant and bar. Maybe they will offer more at guest services once on board. Quote
