I called down to the concierge and told them our HVAC system still wasn’t working, and they sent an on ship HVAC technician to our cabin.
At the beginning of the year, I signed up for a contest where the grand prize was a cruise to Alaska. All expenses were included, including airfare to and from the port of call, and cab fare. We had money for spending, plus an open meal plan and alcoholic drinks. We even got to sit at the captain’s table one night. I felt like a high-priority guest, which is what we were. We had a large cabin with its own balcony, which is the first place we were showed to once we got on the ship. I was excited to watch the wake left behind as the ship sailed through the water. It was cold in the room when we first walked in and the steward told us the HVAC system didn’t turn on until the boat was in motion. We had the balcony doors open to pull some warm ocean breeze in. Once we set sail, I waited for the HVAC system to turn on. The air had taken on a slight nip since we were now on the ocean, and we had to close the balcony doors. I called down to the concierge and told them our HVAC system still wasn’t working, and they sent an on ship HVAC technician to our cabin. He worked on the HVAC system for about ten minutes, and he said he couldn’t get any power to it. He offered to bring in a couple of space heaters since they didn’t have any empty cabins at the moment. We accepted the space heaters, but it wasn’t like having an HVAC system. It was either too hot or too cold in the cabin, and they weren’t sure when the HVAC system could be repaired.
