abcmom123 Posted November 15, 2015 #1 Share Posted November 15, 2015 Anyone know why the Jade hasn't left Houston yet? Was watching the Bayport camera and it's 6:30 local time with a scheduled 4:00 departure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanners1955 Posted November 15, 2015 #2 Share Posted November 15, 2015 I was wondering the same thing. Triumph was late out of Galveston as well tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abcmom123 Posted November 15, 2015 Author #3 Share Posted November 15, 2015 Just checked the cam again and she's pushing away from the dock! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chengkp75 Posted November 15, 2015 #4 Share Posted November 15, 2015 Since this was her first US port call in several years, IIRC, there was probably either a USCG safety inspection/drill, or a USPH sanitation inspection that delayed things.

hawk1972 Posted November 15, 2015 #5 Share Posted November 15, 2015 I think the Jewel was late leaving last year on their first trip out of Houston. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zoiebear Posted November 15, 2015 #6 Share Posted November 15, 2015 Someone currently on the Jade posted last night on fb they were late leaving due to waiting on fuel. .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawk1972 Posted November 15, 2015 #7 Share Posted November 15, 2015 (edited) Someone currently on the Jade posted last night on fb they were late leaving due to waiting on fuel. .. That's ironic since the port is surrounded by oil refineries. "Water, water everywhere, but not a drop to drink," or something like that.

chengkp75 Posted November 15, 2015 #8 Share Posted November 15, 2015 That's ironic since the port is surrounded by oil refineries. "Water, water everywhere, but not a drop to drink," or something like that. Not a shortage of fuel, but a shortage of barges. Experienced this problem many, many times.

abcmom123 Posted November 22, 2015 Author #9 Share Posted November 22, 2015 Late departure again his week. I hope it's not a pattern, I'd much prefer a sunset at sea as opposed to the cruise terminal :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aladin553 Posted November 22, 2015 #10 Share Posted November 22, 2015 I think you should get used to it. The captain wakes up late! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanners1955 Posted November 29, 2015 #11 Share Posted November 29, 2015 I was on the ship and I believe the reason was due to rough waters but I am not sure. We finally left as I was sitting down to my first of many dinners in the Grand Pacific.. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abcmom123 Posted November 29, 2015 Author #12 Share Posted November 29, 2015 I saw the Jade left on time yesterday, glad to see the kinks are being worked out. Happy you enjoyed your time on her Nanners1955! Hope you do a review as there are few Jade reviews from the Caribbean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, those items were done in Miami on the TA over from Barcelona. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
