The Ecstasy is going the Wrong way...

[parrotthead]

She just left the dock and instead of swinging around and coming back 'this way' she just headed out toward the Causeway??

Ive never seen this....usually she swings around and comes by the harbour cam and out....

It looked like a pilot boat just sped off behind her too...

Whats going one?

[parrotthead]

LOL. I was thinking the same thing. Maybe they have a new captain that didn't know. Buy anywho, it shouldn't be just sitting there idle.

[arthierry]

OK it's turning around now!

I know the Voyager goes that way to turn around, maybe after the Ecstasy bumped the gangway last week the Captain decided he needed more room to turn around, lol.

Didnt think they could make 'that tight of a turn" ???

;)

[parrotthead]

:eek: I did not know they 'kissed' the gangway last week...

(A lot of the bumping going around lately)

perhaps its time to post the ole "Objects are Closer then they Appear" signs

:p

I will be on her in 4 weeks, hope they get accustom to the 'touchy steering' by then :D

[parrotthead]

Here she comes....

~~~Everybody Wave~~~

*Hi Ecstasy*

(I miss you)

Mach said it had something to do with dredging in the channel. I think he said that the dredge-barge was in the way of a turn.

[eugeniuss]

that turn around took 25 minutes...

[parrotthead]

dont get me started on that. I was told I would disembark with the VIP self assist, instead they guarded the elevators on Empress (which was also scheduled to be first off) and only allowed all the non self assist wheelchair assists and allllllllllllllllll of their family and friends (one had like 20 in the same bus).

 

I didnt get off until after 10 am, missed a important dentist appointment (my dentist was closed until this week, so I still cant go in).

 

So much for a perfect cruise ... getting up at 5 am and having breakfast at 6 am thinking I was getting off the ship first. Hardled piss poor.

Just got off her today and was told by the captain yesterday on the Behind the Fun tour that we would dock straight in today due to the need to do some painting on the port side which they cannot do in a foreign dock. Also said when they had to go on in to do the turn on sailing, it could require them to stop for a short time for various reasons before beginning. The gangway was not working on either embarkation last Thursday or debarkation today so they took us out deck 3 (crew deck). We had some type of problem getting cleared so debarkation could start (took about 2 hours until we could start getting off after docking) and never found out why. Other than that (which has happened before), we had a great time. Weather was cool but for us, since we aren't ones for sunbathing, it made no difference. Had plenty to keep us busy. Unfortunately, it was over too soon.
