Review summary

When we boarded the ship, neither of our cruise cards/room entry cards worked.

It took 4 trips to the customer service desk to finally get the problem solved.  Therefore we missed the departure from New York standing in line.  Two tours we booked (Bar Harbor and St John) were cancelled.  Did not even get to stop in St John because there was too much wind for the enormous ship to get in to the harbor.  A Carnival ship - quite a bit smaller than our 18 story mega ship was able to stop in St John - no problem.  This ship should not advertise ports of call that they can't be sure can be provided.  This was NOT a stormy day and the wind was certainly not a gale force.

I would rather be safe than sorry

We've missed ports before because the captain felt it would be too unsafe to dock. In the grand scheme if things he/She is responsible for the safety of the ship and all passengers and crew on-board. Personally I would prefer to be safe rather than a statistic.

Bummer indeed, on the missed ports. We missed Bar Harbor & Newport on our cruise ( surprised you missed St John)... we still enjoyed the cruise, and missing the two ports just gave us an excuse to go again! 😊
