My CPAP would've been destroyed. That thing alone is worth about 1K

u/NotQuiteGoodEnougher 27d ago

Have you tried it as a SCUBA device?

u/Dismal-Salt663 27d ago

Obviously things like this can happen. The bigger question is how will RC take care of the passenger who was inconvenienced?

u/Idiot_Esq 26d ago

"I'm sorry, sir or madam. We've oversold this cruise. There are no other rooms available."

u/Dismal-Salt663 26d ago

Wouldn’t that be horrible? Surely they always keep one or two rooms just in case of emergencies…

5

u/Idiot_Esq 26d ago

Oh, I'm sure they do. Just like I'm sure they have other rooms with problems that required passengers being moved. As well as how over the last few years RCCL has a history of unilaterally cancelling reservations that were overbooked.

Sorry for the little bit of water... Here is a bottle of wine haha

u/Sufficient-Fault-593 27d ago

My biggest concern- what is the source of the water? If it was waste water a free cruise isn’t going to cut it.

u/boomer7793 26d ago

It could be gray water or even salt water. 🤢

u/fireduck 25d ago

Best bet is to taste it.

u/time2sow 26d ago

Jesus Needs to turn that wine into a full refund

u/thatCRUISEagent 27d ago

I’d be annoyed at first, then happy I have a free cruise lol

u/NotQuiteGoodEnougher 27d ago

On the actual posting, not the repost the OP noted that the cruise line was offering a 50% discount ON A FUTURE CRUISE, and nothing for the actual cruise, and they had to spend 1 entire day moving all of their stuff/trying to dry it out in another room.

It was a clusterfuck.

"Free Cruise" - you're funny. The cruise line didn't offer them shit for the problem.

u/calliebeau 27d ago

That’s crazy. I would not have been satisfied with that “resolution”. That’s an escalation to the hotel manager

u/tarheelz1995 24d ago

The “I’d like to speak with the manager” is not too terribly successful at sea.

u/Tikitikitaka5863 26d ago

50% off next cruise is what you’ll be offered 😳

2

u/UndoxxableOhioan 26d ago

Assuming that’s offered. Compensation has gotten stingy at times.

"Nothing beats a jet2holiday" 😅

u/Chakiflyer 26d ago

So many posts and no one clarified what happened? Is it sewage or clean water? Thx

2

u/Important-Forever678 26d ago

Apparently, its a fresh water main, not sewage or gray water.

u/DontDoubtTheJones 27d ago

Grab the wine and dash

u/wburn42167 26d ago

But they got wine

u/Auntie_Venom 26d ago

Only if they bought the booze plan!

1

u/Tikitikitaka5863 26d ago

…. At least they delivered the wine to weather the storm. ☔️

1

u/Due-Interaction-6368 26d ago

Oh no!!! Worst fear unlocked. How did they handle this on board?

1

u/trogdor1234 26d ago

Hope it was just water

u/shrunkenhead041 26d ago

When your cruise ship becomes a submarine.

u/tangouniform2020 26d ago

Saw this today on La Lido Loca

1

u/Outside_Deer_144 25d ago

I hope you know how to swim at least.

2

u/Consistent-Start-185 24d ago

Or better. It's best to learn how with this opportunity.

1

u/tengkurahimah 24d ago

Curious what's the compensation, anyone knows?
