Veendam diverted?

[indy71]

It looks like from cruising.me/ship_tracker that the Veendam is headed for Bangor Maine, instead of Bar Harbor. Does anyone know anything about this? My mom is on that ship and this worry-wart is concerned.

Haven't heard anyone mention anything yet today.

IIRC Bangor is inland. Could it be Portland that you are thinking of?

OP; Bangor, Me is not accessible to large cruise ships!

We had severe thunderstorms with heavy lightening pass through last night. I thought it was the end of the world when they blew over my house. The lightening and thunder were very strong. My guess is any diversion might be due to that weather and perhaps seas too rough for tendering? Bar Harbor is a tender port.

 

Instead of Bangor, it would make more sense if Veendam were to divert, it would be more likely Portland if there was dock space available etc It is a port HAL uses sometimes and they might have more shore ops/support available.

 

Indy, nothing to worry about. Were there any severe issue we would have heard by now. If you are worried enough, call your Mom on the ship.

Thanks, everyone. I probably didn't know what I was looking at on the map. Thanks for the reassurances. Maybe I should just let my mom travel in peace. (Or maybe I should just be at peace...lol!)

Per that website you quoted, VEDM was sailing right up to Baah Haabaah at 0601 local (10:01 UTC)this morning; no worries!http://www.***********/ship_tracker/holland_america_line/ms_veendam.php

Thank you for clearing up things.

Happy to hear Veendam is right where she is supposed to be..

Maybe that web site you were looking at is not fully accurate?

 

Sorry you had unnecessary worry.

I had no idea you spoke "Maine" Copper. You never cease to amaze me.;)

Or, you could travel with her.
