my mexican riviera cruise
Kerry,
Sorry to step on your toes. Didn't pay that much attention to my response, but you are right. I probably should have started a new post, instead of adding additional information to the Mexican Riviera subject. In any even, at least it gave Peter an excuse to add his two cents - not that he need an excuse, for he basically says nothing anything. Happy sailing... John "kerry ambler" kerryamblerNO wrote in message ... john, what does your post have to do with my post? why did you reply to me? i was talking about my cruise, not yours. if you want to discuss your cruise, start a new thread. |

From the quoted text it appears Sisker didn't even go on a Mexican Riviera cruise. Some kind of four day cruise with stops in California and Ensenada, Mexico which is what?--- 30 miles south of California. It is a stretch and bull**** to call that a Mexican Riviera cruise. -- Charles |

"Charles" wrote in message id... If your cruise were actually going to the Mexican Riviera John's posting would have not have been so crudely off the wall. He either did not read your post or he read it, did not care and hijacked it anyway. All the creep is interested is taking any opportunity to spew spam. Charles Not surprisingly, Charles now finds the need to add his 2-cents to this as well, but unlike Peter, at least he did make a somewhat viable observation. Yet, once again, he quickly reverts to his own diversions and speculations, basically not knowing what he is actually talking about. There is little point in furthering such useless dialogue, especially to such cold, opinioned trolls. My apology does go to Kerry, not Peter or Charles. I certainly don't answer to either of them. They are just not worth the time or effort. Happy sailing... John |

nonny, my son and his family are on this cruise with us and they live in
seattle. they are flying to caliofnria (actually for a wedding) and then cruising home. the worst part is we all wanted tropical sun and we're getting 58 degrees and showers. then after returning to LA they will go to disneyland.

Sorry Kerry that your cruise was diverted to a totally different kind of itinerary. Victoria should be interesting. I know some of the group is from Seattle and they sure are not happy campers. For those not from Seattle there are some interesting things to do there. Unfortunately other than canceling there is no other alternative itinerary from there. I wonder how Tobie and Barb would have felt on that cruise. Imagine being diverted to your own home turf. OTOH, at least they would save money they'd have spent on shore excursions. grin -- Nonny If you think health care is expensive now, wait until you see what it costs when it's free! - P.J. O'Rourke |

Kerry, I've said before that I don't always agree with cruise lines changing the itinerary and not 1) giving passengers the right to decline the cruise or 2) offering a significant discount. Of course, that wouldn't apply if the change was due to something UNKNOWN happening after the ship had departed. It would apply to known problems such as issues with the ship itself (propulsion failure on previous cruise, disease aboard the ship), ports closed due to previous storm damage or disease (as in this case), political or economic circumstances or other things the line knew about before boarding passengers. Sure, things happen on a cruise and the lines cannot be held responsible for something that occurs after they've embarked the passengers. However, when HAL damages a propeller in St. Maartin one week and has to eliminate ports and let the passengers endure terrible vibration during the abbreviated cruise, then they deserve more than a $100 credit. When they KNOW that most of Mexico is closed due to illness, then boarding passengers and diverting them in the other direction changes the entire nature of their product and if they don't offer total refunds, then they should give some pretty heavy compensation to their guests, IMHO. -- Nonny If you think health care is expensive now, wait until you see what it costs when it's free! - P.J.

they gave 3 options.
cancel for a full refund. cruise and receive $350 o/b credit per balcony and $350 towards a future cruise, $100 pp o/b for 3rds and 4ths in cabin. or change to a different cruise and get $150 o/b credit. there were also a few promotions available to some people (resident specials and senior rates). we booked this group over 2 years ago so our prices were pretty low anyways.

That sounds fair to me. It's a shame the cruise was changed, but it sounds as if the line was trying to do the right thing. -- Nonny If you think health care is expensive now, wait until you see what it costs when it's free! - P.J.
