Ep. 312 - Bonus - Check Engine Light: The Wish Breaks Down in Nassau

DCL Duo Podcast: A Disney Cruise Line Fan Podcast

10-05-2023 • 40 mins

The Disney Wish recently experienced a "techincal issue" that delayed her arrival in Nassau and caused her to overnight in Nassau for repairs. A planned stop at Castaway Cay was also cut from the itinerary, although Disney Cruise Line cited weather as the cause, despite a late departure out Nassau the same day she was due at Castaway on the three-nigh Bahamian itinerary. Guests onboard were offered a $100 onboard credit per stateroom, and a 20% Future Cruise Credit (FCC). There's been some disagreement online about whether that compensation was reasonable, especially for folks who might not be able to sail DCL again before the FCC expires in two years. We're chatting with Nick, who was onboard the sailing, to hear what happened and get his reactions on how Disney handled the situation. We're also giving our own thoughts on what DCL could have done better.  All that and more on this week's bonus episode.
