luving2cruise Posted March 15, 2010 #1 Share Posted March 15, 2010 Look at the Cam and not there yet! Could it be delayed again?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arush5268d Posted March 15, 2010 #2 Share Posted March 15, 2010 Heavy fog throughout the area. My bet is that she is being held outside of port until the fog burns off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingpinJK Posted March 15, 2010 #3 Share Posted March 15, 2010 probably? news said less than 1/4 mile visibility in galveston up through south houston. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fighterone Posted March 15, 2010 #5 Share Posted March 15, 2010 So sorry for the poor folks waiting to get on and those waiting to get off! Hope this is not a repeat of my nightmare! Does anyone have the link to the site for ships current positions. The only one I have is the scheduled positions and it indicates that the Ecstasy is back in Galveston.

klmorg Posted March 15, 2010 #6 Share Posted March 15, 2010 And they are considering adding more ships to this port/area? :confused: Seems we are constantly hearing about major fog delays at that port. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firefly333 Posted March 15, 2010 #7 Share Posted March 15, 2010 And they are considering adding more ships to this port/area? :confused: Seems we are constantly hearing about major fog delays at that port. :( I would think they are, Magic. This port pulls down a lot higher rates than most any other port, so why wouldnt they consider it?? Maybe they need to not sail out of Baltimore either after a couple of bad snows.

Fighterone Posted March 15, 2010 #10 Share Posted March 15, 2010 And they are considering adding more ships to this port/area? :confused: Seems we are constantly hearing about major fog delays at that port. :( Are they really? Who are "they"? Where did you hear that and what cruiseline might this be? That would be great if they did. The Port of Houston Authority (POHA) has built a beautiful cruise ship terminal and we haven't heard that any ships intended to lease it. Why is that, I wonder.:eek: I read somewhere that there are only 37 days of fog a year in Galveston...tis the season! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they need to not sail out of Baltimore either after a couple of bad snows. This year's Baltimore snows were a major fluke having that many and much at once. It usually isn't THAT bad.

jetskier Posted March 15, 2010 #13 Share Posted March 15, 2010 What is funny is that a ship can make it all the way up the Mississippi River with all its turns in a heavy fog, yet in Mobile and Galveston they cannot make it a short way in.

arush5268d Posted March 15, 2010 #14 Share Posted March 15, 2010 Looked at the Seawolf cam....the bay is still pretty fogged in. No sight of our beloved Ecstasy. I'm guessing it will be at least another hour before she docks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Yeah... it is a bit odd but the decision to close the harbor is up to the Coast Guard and the Harbor Master... mostly the Coast Guard so I suspect the query/blame/whatever should go to them... ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
