calmpets Posted December 4, 2014 #1 Share Posted December 4, 2014 I have family on the Star Princess right now, and they are slated to be in Ensenada on Sunday, but the ship's webcam says that the Star is bound for San Francisco. Is anyone aware of an itinerary change, or is the webcam just wrong? Thanks in advance for any info! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shredie Posted December 5, 2014 #3 Share Posted December 5, 2014 It is a rule of the universe that every cruise ship on every line must always stop at Ensenada. :) No? I've been there four times this year. :p My guess is the cam is wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnatz007 Posted December 5, 2014 #4 Share Posted December 5, 2014 (edited) Doubt they will miss it, unless they want to pay for each passenger because of violating the PVSA, requiring them to stop at a foreign port.

calmpets Posted December 5, 2014 Author #8 Share Posted December 5, 2014 (edited) The ********** web site shows it headed for Ensenada. Fun site to follow ships route I've been on Krooz Cams and Cruise Addicts, both of which seem to be streaming video from the same feed. I tried to check on Marine Traffic, but the ship was out of range so I couldn't get anything. Are you sure they didn't go to Ensenada first? That sometimes does happen... They definitely didn't stop there first - I spoke to them when they arrived in Hawaii, and there were no itinerary changes by then. I'll just assume that the site was in error. Thanks everyone!

timetravler Posted December 5, 2014 #11 Share Posted December 5, 2014 By law it has to go to Ensenada. Perhaps the Princess web cam does not show Ensenada because it is only a business stop and will be there for a very short time. Final destination is SF before it goes into dry dock.

goodie2shoes Posted December 5, 2014 #13 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Some time back we were on a Hawaii cruise, and the weather was bad returning to the mainland, which delayed us a lot. We arrived outside Ensenada at around midnight (never entered the port) and a boat brought the officials and paperwork out to us where all forms were filled properly and the officials returned to port on their boat. We then headed north to Los Angeles. Believe me, it happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonoran_cruiser Posted December 5, 2014 #14 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Also remember reading awhile ago (don't remember which cruise line) about a ship that made their first stop of the voyage in Ensenada. When they made their second stop, in San Diego, EVERYONE had to be processed through customs at that point, basically ruining their day in SD due to the customs delay. Guess that explains why most itineraries show Ensenada as the LAST STOP on their trip prior to reaching disembarkation port! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruisin' Chick Posted December 5, 2014 #15 Share Posted December 5, 2014 You never really have to guess: http://ships.cruisett.com/schedule/Princess_Cruises/Star_Princess/December_2014/ On one of our Hawaiian cruises, another ship (another cruiseline) was doing just about the same itinerary (I think two of their ports were switched from ours, but my memory was fuzzy). That website had the wrong info for those two ports. I don't think this was a last minute itinerary change -- the cruise line's website had the exact order.

We dropped anchor, let officials quickly board and leave, then hoisted anchor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCal Cruiser78 Posted December 7, 2014 #17 Share Posted December 7, 2014 I have family on the Star Princess right now, and they are slated to be in Ensenada on Sunday, but the ship's webcam says that the Star is bound for San Francisco. Is anyone aware of an itinerary change, or is the webcam just wrong? Thanks in advance for any info! The Star's bridge cam hasn't updated in two days, still showing SF bound. The port of Ensenada has no webcam that I can locate online, but the Star is still on the port schedule for 4-8PM tomorrow, Sunday 12/7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wehwalt Posted December 7, 2014 #18 Share Posted December 7, 2014 I thought CBP or some other agency ruled there had to be a reasonable opportunity for people to get off the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robtulipe Posted December 7, 2014 #20 Share Posted December 7, 2014 Sea scanner shows the Star 8hrs out of Ensenada. That site only shows scheduled, not actual, position as indicated by the checked box on the right just below the location map thus is using data from the itinerary to fix the ship's location.

beg3yrs Posted December 7, 2014 #21 Share Posted December 7, 2014 According to a site which uses the AIS (Automatic Identification System) she's about 60 nautical miles from Ensenada now, doing 21.4 knots. I don't think she's going to miss Ensenada. Nuff sed ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
