Enchantment of the Seas Delayed at Cruise Maryland

[beachnative]

She left the ocean at 4:28 am. Now....fix the problem, please!!

 

Radio...you are up early...or are you still up late?

[dmwnc1959]

Looks like she is docking way down at the other wharf halfway down the channel and well out of a decent webcam view?

[Radio]

Yes it appears that Enchantment will dock at Pier 3 (Carnival Ecstacy Home Port- CT-3)

 

This is where we docked last month in Port Canaveral. Passengers will be able to get a few pics of Carnival Pride as she arrives in a few moments.

Radio, do you ever sleep?:D I always look forward to your updates, sooo.......I am glad your up!

 

Theron, You guys are coming in so early this morning, I hope you didnt miss docking.......

Thank you so much for your updates. I will be glued to my computer until I hear more!

So much stress on this end. I'm packed and ready but will I have somewhere to go?:confused:

A great example is the airbus A380 that suffered engine failure. It happened November 10 2010 and is still not repaired, even with highly skilled people working very hard to return it to service. 15 months and counting for this repair, 135 million in repair costs alone and still counting!!

 

That's not really a good comparison. VH-OQA suffered an uncontained engine explosion, which caused significant structural damage to the airframe. That's what is taking the time to repair, not replacing the engine. I don't think anyone is suggesting that bits of Enchantment's hull were scattered over Baltimore :)

Radio, do you ever sleep? I always look forward to your updates, sooo.......I am glad your up! >SNIP<

 

 

 

Ha ha. . .yes I sleep every night. . . I am down every night early though.

 

 

 

The nice thing about the CT-3 Pier is that it it walking distance to the Beach at Jetty Park. You can also find many seafood restaurants nearby. (without renting a car)

 

 

Below are a few pics from my sailing last month when we docked at Port Canaveral. . .of course it's not "LIVE", but you can get an idea of where the ship docks.

We sail past Jetty Park on the way to the Pier

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We appraoched the pier slowly. . .

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

CT-3 is an older Terminal, but it did the job for Enchantment Passengers

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Passengers will be seeing this soon. . .

I think RCI owes us all some OBC on our next cruises for missing out on a free cruise. If I knew it was going to be free I could have been in Baltimore in 3-4 hours.

 

I could have been there in 45 minutes.

[sasysutler]

Radio.. what kind of camera do you have?

[read52]

Sorry I missed reading this thread yesterday but I still could be at the Baltimore dock in 45 minutes.

 

Really watching to see what going to happen. We are on the Enchantment in June. We just paid off that cruise.

[Old Sea Legs]

Carnival Pride is about 3 NM from Enchantment now.

[johneeo]

In Port Canaveral.

 

[BND]

Thought I'd check marine traffic before I got ready for work. EN is docked and Pride should be visible to those onboard and will be passing shortly. En is at the pier we expect to dock at in March when we're onboard.

[Lysingers]

Hello everyone,

 

Just a quick check-in.

 

Still scheduled to arrive at P.C at 7AM. I'm not a morning person - at all - but I plan to be up to try to get a view of what they have waiting for us on the pier when we arrive. I expect it will be an army of equipment, personnel and parts. At least I hope so.

 

 

Gosh Theron, from all his early morning, pre-dawn posts, your friend Radio seems to be the ultimate, classic morning person! How did the two of you ever even cross paths to meet and become friends?

[Radio]

Carnival Pride just pulled into Port Canaveral and will dock shortly at Pier 5

welcome to Florida all! have a wonderful day in the sunshine state!

Just in case no one posted already, we all got a free cruise. Our itinerary is less than ideal but I can't complain. This is my first cruise.... my wife's too. We will be back on an RCI boat this summer for sure. Itinerary is

 

Today Canaveral

Tomorrow at sea

24th arrive at Nassau 3pm

25th depart Nassau 11am

26th at sea

27th arrive in bmore

 

My understanding is that they will try to repair the boat in one of these ports. Hopefully Canaveral so that we can get to Nassau early.

 

OK off to the beach.

With that schedule if the ship isn't fixed you aren't getting back on the 27th.

I'm looking for the EN now but I can only see the Carnival Pride. :(

It's at a different pier which you won't be able to see with the webcam.

Well then, hopefully it will be fixed! I have heard 2 different rumors. One says it will be fixed in Nassau and of course the other rumor is Canaveral. What do the experts here think?

Jump back one page to post 827 and read down the page, that'll help. :D

Well, I'm hardly an expert, but I'll offer an opinion any way! :-)

 

 

Hopefully, the needed parts and repair personnel are already on the ship today in Port Canaveral. They will be able to work even after the ship departs PC until the repair is done... If they find that additional parts are required, they could be delivered to Nassau.

 

Aloha,

 

John

One nice thing about Enchantment docked there is that Jetty Park and dinning is right there. Guests can even take the Victory Casino ship for a 4 hour tour in the morning if they choose.

 

Hopefully things are getting fixed on the Enchantment. If I was on that cruise I would take everything in stride. To all of those that are frustrated and think their vacation is absuluty ruined. Remember that you are on Vacation and on a Cruise. You still have great food, entertainment, and plenty of activities on board.

my friend Budd is on the cruise - he is an experiencd cruiser with his wife Carolee and they are taking everything in their stride - one day of bad weather and a free cruise to boot cant be bad - he doesnt know if it can be fixed but isnt worried! If anyone meets Budd please say hi from Jan:)
