Rhapsody of the seas delayed in sydney

[livingstone]

Rhapsody of the seas appears to be delayed, and still in port at the Overseas Passenger Terminal. The ship is supposed to depart at 1830hrs. Any ideas on why it is still in port.

was that scheduled or is it a change in plans

Rhapsody is still in Sydney, 10.35pm.

Looks like she's on her way. Maybe they had to wait for an available Harbour pilot as we did when the Oriana was late leaving earlier this month. It's sad, a Saturday night and I'm watching The Rocks Webcam for the Rhapsody leaving Sydney!

Rhapsody of the seas left 1 hour late, at 2300 (ish)

Our cruise on Rhapsody which departed Sydney on November 8 also had a short delay. We were scheduled to depart at 6.30pm and ended up leaving approx 8.00pm

Call me sad, but I spent my Saturday evening with one eye on Het, Hey and one eye on the web cam. I was watching and waiting for rhapsody to depart Sydney. I had worked night duty the night before and was generally stuffed from lack of sleep, sona mindless activity like watching a ship in Sydney Harbour was about the most stimulation my brain could take at that point in time.

Hi,

 

My neice is on that ceuise .she sent me a text msg at 7pm and said they were delayed waiting for bunkering.not a bad place to be delayed from...sydney harbour

Not sure what bunkering is, but when I left the Opera House at 10.15pm last night, I was surprised to see the Rhapsody still there and a vessel that looked like a refuelling barge was along side.

 

I didn't mind, you so rarely get to see one of the larger cruise ships lit up at night.

 

I imagine the only frustrated people onboard were those hankering for the casino to open!

Bunkering is what they call fuelling up.

Perhaps the credit card RCCL gives the Captain to pay for the fuel was over the limit and they had to wait for Authourisation to come through from the States:D:D

The fuel ships use is known as "bunker fuel" as well.
