jtutak, Thanks for your prompt reply. I can't wait to hear about your 10 day adventure on the Nile. Is the ship still in operation?

Hi jtutak, I noticed that you had sailed the Nile Romance Nile River about 15 years ago. Cruising the Nile is something that's not written about very often. Do you remember any of it? Can you tell us something about it? It's one of my dreams to cruise the Nile and also the Yangtsee River in China. You would help to put some solidity to my dreams.

Boy, that's a really large gash. Two unfortunate cruise events in one two weeks. I know this looks scary and fortunately, there were no casualties. The occurance of these types of events in the cruise industry is very rare today, so people should not get too frightened yet. I really feel bad for the passengers whose cruises were interrupted and hope that the remaining passengers made the best of the use of the ship. I don't know how I would feel if I were a passenger on the Norwegian Dawn or the Grandeur of the Seas and been the victim of thoses events. I'm not looking forward to being a witness to those types of events and have to report them on this board. But, I think I would try to make the best of a bad situation as long as I wasn't flooded out of the cabin.

rogue, Congratulations on your booking. I don't know how you can stand the wait. :huh:

Have a great cruise, sailinglisa.

I'm glad no one was injured on board or ashore. If anything was to happen like that it's best that it happens where immediate help and repair personnel can get to it easily. If one does not use all of the onboard credit is the balance refunded by the purser?
