The cruise beginning February 19th will be delayed a day and
Mazatlan is dropped as a port of call. This is in order to repair
a short circuit in the starboard propulsion motor. The problem
causes the ship to travel at slower speeds and first occurred on
February 9 when the ship was maneuvering to dock in Puerto
Vallarta. The ship returned to LA from that cruise several hours
late; the following cruise skipped Puerto Vallarta. Passengers on
the cruise missing Puerto Vallarta were given a $100 onboard credit;
those on the shortened cruise were given a $200 onboard credit.
In both cases, passengers were given the option to cancel the cruise at
the last minute and receive a full credit (not refund) toward a future
sailing. |
