Is somebody going to come out and say exactly what happened? Do I have to be concerned that one of the DCL ships ran over a small dinghy? Was it a water taxi that was operated by a drunk driver? Did somebody rent a boat and have faulty equipment? Let’s share what’s going on so we know what to consider for our futures or lock the thread. I’m good with either decision.
I was sure DCL had not hit anyone just for that reason. And because I have a halo opinion of our captains. Well at least there’s a few facts now.If DCL ran over a small boat it would have made the news....I was on that cruise but did not hear about the incident until I returned home.

I was on that sailing. I called down to Guest services and asked why were hadn’t left yet. They told me they were refilling the water tanks and would be leaving by 2am.We were scheduled to have an early all aboard time but not sail until 2.00am. St Lucia was not considered to be a safe port for guests to be out at night.
Wow getting passports is so scary. I’ll bet they had a Disney rep with them the whole time after the got back on land. They have people trained to handle those situations with passports and medical emergencies that happen while in ports. I’ll bet that’s a stressful job.From the Facebook post it seemed that the biggest issue for the late departure was that some guests had lost passports and they needed to get in touch with local embassies to get them temporary documents to finish out the trip.
That is a good question.Glad there were no serious injuries. We never take our passports off the ship at the ports we've been to, we've only done Alaska, WC, and EC. Do you need them at some ports?

Once we're on the ship the passports go into the safe and don't come out until we are disembarking.
