rajkr74 Posted January 18, 2016 #26 Share Posted January 18, 2016 (edited) Here is a screen snip of her course change last night. The other vessels displayed on this snip are as of this morning 6:45am PST and not last night. Yes...she is really moving this morning at 24 knots!

Boytjie Posted January 18, 2016 Author #27 Share Posted January 18, 2016 I was tracking her last night on Marinetraffic.com around 10:30pm PST and saw that she changed course 180 degrees to starboard and headed back south. She was off the west coast of Bahamas. Hard to gage how far she went south, but using a ruler on the map it appears to be over 30kms distance. Can't tell how much time she used for this "diversion"? Can't tell what she was doing but I was pretty sure that course change would make her late for Ft. Lauderdale. Maybe a possible rescue? By looking at some of the timestamps on her route, it seems that the loop she sailed may have added about 1.5 hours to the trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boytjie Posted January 18, 2016 Author #28 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Yes...she is really moving this morning at 24 knots! Marine Traffic from a few minutes ago showed 24.4 knots! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boytjie Posted January 18, 2016 Author #29 Share Posted January 18, 2016 (edited) I don't see anything posted on the Roll call for the cruise boarding today; in 2010 we got email notifications during the night to tell us about the ship's later arrival and our delayed embarkation.

Ted, Not a good start for your cruise let alone for the crew who are going to be rushed all day and evening. :( I hope none of the passengers leaving had early flights?

Boytjie Posted January 18, 2016 Author #32 Share Posted January 18, 2016 As of 10:15 ship has not yet docked. We are at the pier waiting to board. Did you get any notification from HAL that the ship is delayed? My guess is she won't be docking before 11:00 am. She is on her way: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boytjie Posted January 18, 2016 Author #33 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Ted,Not a good start for your cruise let alone for the crew who are going to be rushed all day and evening. :( I hope none of the passengers leaving had early flights? We had the delayed experience in 2010 and embarkation went fine; few people complained (but then again, our RSVP charters are very happy events!). One good things about that delayed departure was that a few people made it to the ship in time when they could have missed it: there were horrible weather problems on the East Coast and even in Texas and many incoming flights were affected. It was a nightmare for those that disembarked; missing flights etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boytjie Posted January 18, 2016 Author #34 Share Posted January 18, 2016 (edited) With my luck, the pest control guy is going to show up just as the Oosterdam sails in... Edited January 18, 2016 by Boytjie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happily@Sea Posted January 18, 2016 #40 Share Posted January 18, 2016 The Oosterdam participated in a search and rescue on the way here. There are no other details. Embarkation will begin about 2 pm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happily@Sea Posted January 18, 2016 #42 Share Posted January 18, 2016 We're just sitting in the terminal, been through security and waiting to check in. They have us lined up in the seats by when we arrived. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happily@Sea Posted January 18, 2016 #43 Share Posted January 18, 2016 (edited) We can see her out the window when it's not blocked by all the people. Edited January 18, 2016 by Happily@Sea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Scrapnana Posted January 18, 2016 #45 Share Posted January 18, 2016 After talking to my TA this morning I though I would check out the webcams before I left for lunch. When I opened the HAL forum and saw this thread was on page three I knew something was strange. I was just in time to see Oosterdam sail in. Happily@Sea - hope you don't have to sit too long!

rajkr74 Posted January 18, 2016 #46 Share Posted January 18, 2016 (edited) Pretty cool watching her come in this morning. Normally, here on the west coast, I am still asleep when the ships come in. :D Edited January 18, 2016 by rajkr74 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Himself Posted January 18, 2016 #47 Share Posted January 18, 2016 I usually stay an extra day in Ft. Lauderdale when coming in from Sea, just in case the ship is delayed when coming in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Scrapnana Posted January 18, 2016 #48 Share Posted January 18, 2016 I think the gremlins are back in the FLL webcam. It takes forever to load and then freezes up in a few seconds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
