According to another post (Ecstacy Late) I think, they had propeller problems, and did not dock until 1 pm Saturday.  I could tell by the Galveston Cruise Webcam that there was a smaller boat up next to the Ecstacy until about 7 pm.  It did finally leave shortly after 8 pm.

I, too, was on the June 27th Ecstasy cruise - our first one & boy was embarkation crazy.  We had to stand in line both outside & inside for what seemed like hours & hours.  They wouldn't let anyone on board till 5 p.m. & we didn't get on until 6:30 p.m.  Went to room at 7 p.m. and luggage was waiting for us.  We each got a $15 on board credit due to technical problems of cruising speed.  As cowboyup stated we did get to Progreso on time.  I was too exhausted from the day and standing in line to even go to the Singles Meet and Greet at 11 p.m. much less the Dining Room at 8:15 p.m.

 Awesome cruise and hated to come back on July 2nd.

yeah i did want to go home. we got on the ship around 5 something went stay to the dinner room had dinner and while we were eating the ship was moving. then we went to the room and our luggage was waiting. i dont think it was all the bad due to the technical problems.i was glad that it did not happen while we were on the ship. we still had a good time. want to cruise again but this time to leave the kids at home.

I work with this person and he was telling me the A/C went out on his cruise he said that was the pits too hot to stay inside the boat. They got a refund or a cruise.
