With plenty of time to get back, they found out that all the boat transportation had broken down and they were stranded. Apparently they had to charter a plane to get back. Woohoo!
Skydiving, huh? Well, at least they only had to charter the plane to take them over the ship...

I would love to see a cruise ship with turn signals.

On the cruise for the elderly folks they could just leave them on the whole time.

I know for a fact that DCL will leave SGs behind (and rightly so). That's why Mr. Syndrome and I book excursions through DCL if we want to do something lengthy. He once booked some kind of zipline thing in Cozumel through DCL and was back literally hours late...and the ship did indeed wait. After a couple of hours I got a bit panicky, but Guest Services assured me the excursion hadn't returned yet and we were waiting. Apparently the roads were under construction and the bus had to return at a crawl.

Then there was the excursion when we did the Panama Canal repo where he went zip lining with an online friend and they both got drunk on tequila and missed the bus (I don't do zip lines so I wasn't there). Then they managed to let one of the monkeys at the place out of its cage. Thankfully they made it back to the ship on time, but Mr. Syndrome was so buzzed that he wasn't even concerned.

There was a third Disney ship?!? And how does that work, anyway? Hopefully at an American port where everyone can get off before the repo the ship...

So it was the Magic, Wonder and Awe? What kind of ship was the Awe?

I hope the Onion doesn't pick up on this, they may write an article.

Hmm... Cruise Ship Guest Relations... :rolleyes: Just thinking...

Wallaby, you're confusing me and making my head hurt. I'm still pissed that they're naming the fourth ship Fantasy instead of Celebration.
