Rancher Dave Posted February 10, 2014 #1176 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Maybe it will start raining during the night and clear the fog out enough to be able to sail out! On way home from dinner it was drizzling In West Houston. Maybe that will help get the ships out before the sun is back up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laurac22 Posted February 10, 2014 #1179 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Houston news just said there is a fog advisory until 9:00am tomorrow for Galveston, then a front will be coming in hopefully to clear it away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoneStarJeffe Posted February 10, 2014 #1182 Share Posted February 10, 2014 I just checked the Pier 23 cam and the fog is getting really bad. Looks like a long wait for them to depart. Hopefully there will be a point overnight when it clears away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully there will be a point overnight when it clears away. Sadly, I don't think that they will be able to sail until the morning. The News here just keeps showing how bad the fog is all over our area. They say it won't clear off until a front comes in around 9:00am. Of course our news could be wrong, but the pictures are pretty bad. My Aunt is on the ship now, but I haven't been able to connect with her to see what they are saying.

Capt announced we would probably not get out tonight but as soon as he gets clearance we will go. If we leave around eight in the AM we will arrive on time. Looks like we will not rock to sleep tonight. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Triumph is still quite a ways out and shows clear black sky. I suppose it works best for Magic to be gone before they come in anyhow. Hope not too many upset at smaller bar selection while in Texas waters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rancher Dave Posted February 10, 2014 #1190 Share Posted February 10, 2014 I think I understand your question but at this late hour I could be wrong. As I understand the law the. Booze sold must have been purchased from a Texas distributor. Thus taxes paid to Texas. Much of what RCCL buys and sells is from outside area avoiding paying any taxes to any state thus more profit to cruise line. As shareholder I agree with more profit. The Texas law halos restricts say Saint Arnold from selling beer direct to the public in a retail model. That is good and bad since competing against current distribution system is double edge sword. At least it could be in neighborhood by brewer near downtown. There is push to change that law which could change other parts of the law that affect cruise lines for instance.

Cindy Posted February 10, 2014 #1193 Share Posted February 10, 2014 I know someone on the Magic, and I saw on FB and the Carnival board their Muster Drill was held about 1:00 a.m.:eek: It sounds like their embarkation was a lot later than Navigator's. Weather looks pretty clear right now...I hope they get the ships out soon and everybody has a great cruise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lavacruise Posted February 10, 2014 #1194 Share Posted February 10, 2014 The cruise cam looks like it is pointing at a roof and the Pier 23 cam is looking at a Carnival ship. Does anyone have a clear pic of the Navigator? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Girr Posted February 10, 2014 #1195 Share Posted February 10, 2014 It's so clear on the pier side of Galveston, but if you check the web cams for the other side it still looks socked in. :confused::eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cindy Posted February 10, 2014 #1196 Share Posted February 10, 2014 I just saw on Vessel Finder there is a pilot at the Navigator. Hopefully that means we'll see her pulling out shortly.

Cindy Posted February 10, 2014 #1197 Share Posted February 10, 2014 She's off! I just caught a glimpse of her on the Pier 23 camera sneaking past Magic. Bon Voyage, finally, y'all! Have a great time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cindy Posted February 10, 2014 #1199 Share Posted February 10, 2014 I was just watching Navigator on the Emerald Video Camera. The clouds are so low I could only see the very top of the ship...really cool looking and kind of eerie at the same time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The clouds are so low I could only see the very top of the ship...really cool looking and kind of eerie at the same time! I saw that. It is creepy! It's foggy but not nearly as bad as yesterday. Glad they're getting out early. Carnival Triumph is outside the port waiting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
