Indeed. I'm always wishing it was me!

According to the radio chatter I heard, the Emerald was to depart at 1600/4:00 p.m. Wonder why the delay...

I'm on the Emerald. The Captain made an announcement that they are stll loading supplies.

[KruzPrincess]

Schedule showed 4:45 for Emerald and 5:00 for Crown. I've heard the chatter, too. Seems like everyone is held up.

Emerald sailing now.

Crown on her way!!! I love these webcams!!

One needs to remember that both Emerald Princess and Crown Princess have just returned from Europe. More time for heavy loading is no doubt needed. Plus, there could have been a USPH and/or USCG inspection today as well, and that would slow down the loading process.

Good tooting as Crown Princess sailed this evening! Good Job, Captain! Keep it up on future sailings!!!!

The ships are slowly coming back for the fall/winter.

Emerald Princess was also docked at pier 22 today, which is a somewhat unusual location for Princess ships to dock (usually it's Holland America and Carnival ships docked there,) which might have contributed to the delay. Usually if there's more than one Princess ship in port the larger one docks at pier 2, while the smaller one (typically Coral/Island) is at 19. I'm not sure if 19 is big enough for a Grand Class ship if there's two in port though.

My sister and BIL are on the Crown. She texted when they arrived at terminal around 11 AM that she had never seen a line so long. 3-1/2 hours standing in line. Finally sailed around 6. A lot of unhappy passengers. Customs and Immigraton was rumored to be the problem along with a late docking. One passenger told them Crown was supposed to be in Friday night (sounds weird). Customs didn't get to ship till 9:30 so ship was not cleared until late. This is all rumor so far.

Hi Dan Tanna;

 

Could you confirm that the Silver and Gold wine packages are offered on Emerald for this trip? Also if you know, any issues with wine being brought on board this trip?

Sailing Emerald in Dec. and Jan,

 

Thanks
