Mom2JJandJ Posted November 5, 2012 #76 Share Posted November 5, 2012 Waited for over an hour for 2 non-US citizens to get to where they needed to be. Lots of unhappy ppl right about now. Called for self assist a few min ago. Definitely not the "fun ship" currently. Bars closed and now we have PO'd ppl everywhere! <sigh> Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk.

DanJ Posted November 5, 2012 #79 Share Posted November 5, 2012 It is 509 nautical miles from the Port of Tampa to Cozumel and the Legend can travel at 21 knots so as long as she departs by about 6 or 7 tomorrow morning she will be able to make port in Cozumel by the scheduled 8 a.m. on Tuesday.:cool: On the BTF tour on Pride, I noticed on the bridge we were going a little over 25 knots, so considering they are sister ships, I think the Legend can do it as well. Whether they will burn the massive amount of extra fuel to make up for a 7 or 8 hour delayed departure though, who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most cruise ships top out around 21 knots. Legend won't have any trouble making her first port on time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueboro Posted November 5, 2012 #82 Share Posted November 5, 2012 Just talked to my in-laws who finally got on the ship. They had both the dining room and buffet open but said it will be after 11:00 before everyone is loaded. The already had their bags in the cabin. Then they will have to do the muster drill before they leave. Long day for all involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wranglerguy Posted November 5, 2012 #83 Share Posted November 5, 2012 I am sure they will wake up in Cozumel when they suppose to. I have gone on the legend twice and Monday is a day at sea. They'll make up time for sure. Just have to go a bit faster Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk OIIIO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kokoko Posted November 5, 2012 #86 Share Posted November 5, 2012 For anyone interested in the 1980 Skyway Bridge tragedy, here is some info and pics.... http://gcaptain.com/may-9-1980-tampa-skyway-bridge-disaster . Thanks for posting that. I remember reading about it but I was working in Minnesota then and really couldn"t remember everything about it. I just remembered a bridge in florida collapsing. Now I know what bridge and where. What a horrible tragedy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

estebofarr Posted November 9, 2012 #90 Share Posted November 9, 2012 Muster drill is not required before they leave. They definitely required a life boat drill. Blasted that horn in the cabin, read all all cabin numbers of those who did not attend,quite a few. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billie5 Posted November 11, 2012 #91 Share Posted November 11, 2012 Of course the ship can, and usually does, require muster before departure. However, it is not required by SOLAS (before departure, that is). That was, unfortunately the case with the Costa disaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CampingNCruisingAlaska Posted November 13, 2012 #93 Share Posted November 13, 2012 Sorry to hear about the fog you encountered. We're set to leave this Sunday on the Legend, and am wondering if the 1/2 outside wall of the balcony is clear plexiglass or is it made of solid metal that you cannot see through? Thanks!!!
