Lovetocruise2002 Posted July 25, 2024 Author Report Posted July 25, 2024 Very calm and easy drive across the border this morning. Zero wait at the Ambassador Bridge. From driveway to through security at DTW was only 1h 10mins. Having a coffee now and checking the app like a crazy person to make sure the flight is still on time.

Lovetocruise2002 Posted July 25, 2024 Author Report Posted July 25, 2024 Also, a very random observation. 2 days before sailing now on Adventure and I noticed the “Diamond Discounts” for PDCC (the ones that are usually offered a few days prior to sailing) never showed up. Everything is still regular price…aka ridiculous pricing. Sweety, Jax, WAAAYTOOO and 3 others 1 2 3 Quote

Lovetocruise2002 Posted July 25, 2024 Author Report Posted July 25, 2024 Update: they have now de-planed us and we are back in our seats at the gate. Not sure what to do at this point. They are trying to fix the mechanical issue but unless they cancel, we are stuck in limbo. We have the back up flight but we cannot get our luggage back at the moment guess we are just going to wait for now WAAAYTOOO, CravingaCruise, WannaCruise and 6 others 1 1 7 Quote

Lovetocruise2002 Posted July 25, 2024 Author Report Posted July 25, 2024 Another update: they think it will be a two hour fix which at that point if they can’t fix it; they will try to find a new plane. Pilot said it’s 50/50. Went on the delta app and it gave us the choice to rebook and keep the same price; so now I rebooked us to the 2pm flight. Basically now double booked on that 2pm flight no clue what will happen to my checked bag omg, but I am going to order some chick fil A while I figure this out CravingaCruise, PPPJJ-GCVAB, Jax and 4 others 1 5 1 Quote

The one we used to go to in VA always had a line all the way around the building (drive-thru) and sometimes it lapped itself and was almost twice around the building !!!!

Lovetocruise2002 Posted July 25, 2024 Author Report Posted July 25, 2024 Oh my goodness! So here is the update. Our plane literally died in the middle of takeoff. It was rather alarming. Back to the gate. They deemed the flight inoperable. Really? Anyway, back at the gate and they say they need to find a new plane. As we are getting off the plane for the second time, I managed to move us to the 4pm flight through the app. Same price and seats. I decided to give up the backup 2pm flight because my price would not have been protected with that one. So now are waiting around for an hour and a half or so to board the 4pm flight. Praying that one goes off without issue, and that we are somehow reunited with our luggage. bellemiche, Robert M, OCSC Mike and 8 others 5 3 3 Quote
