mamaofami Posted January 25, 2014 #76 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Checking in :) Hope your DH is doing better and you will be cruising again before long. Thank you. He's been home for 3 days now, and each day he seems to be getting better. This cruise wasn't meant to be, but there will be more in the future.

startwin Posted January 25, 2014 #77 Share Posted January 25, 2014 (edited) The white truck moved closer to the ship! Gangway pulled in..... not waiting for them. Edited January 25, 2014 by startwin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare kazu Posted January 25, 2014 #78 Share Posted January 25, 2014 We're having a very foggy day here today, so damp and cool (four-letter words, but not as bad as "cold" and "snow")!:) He's saying the missing pax are from Miami - I guess that means Miami Airport? I'll trade you :D:D I think today is nearly worse than our 'blizzard' day. How many storms do you have to have in 3 days? Another tomorrow. YUCK.

Krazy Kruizers Posted January 25, 2014 #80 Share Posted January 25, 2014 I have to wonder. If I was supposed to leave on a cruise, even if I was traveling a few days early, and I saw a weather system coming in like the one now, I would try to change my flight to fly out even earlier. That is possible in some airports. But flights out of Pittsburgh are filled months in advance since we have so few flights and will have even fewer flights once American and US Airways get done chopping over lapping flights.

mamaofami Posted January 25, 2014 #87 Share Posted January 25, 2014 I would be beyond uppset to miss the ship by 20 minutes, but understand why they can't wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Copper10-8 Posted January 25, 2014 #92 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Hi John... Can you briefly explain the dock line terminology such as "2 and 1" ? Has to do with the number of mooring lines; Usually she's secured to the dock with seven lines fwd and aft, so "5 & 2" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
