Lizzie68 Posted January 23, 2016 #105 Share Posted January 23, 2016 I don't think I've ever seen the tug doing that before. I guess the wind is something to do with it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boytjie Posted January 23, 2016 Author #110 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Most of us fly or travel in early for our cruises. But considering that this storm was forecast and tracked for several days, why not pay a penalty and change your flight and get out of dodge early. The airlines usually start waving fees to change flights; we did that in 2010. We also fly in a few days early but it is a gamble anyways; two years ago storms were wrecking travel plans too before our cruise. We flew our regular flight the evening before a big storm was going to hit New York and much of the Eastern seaboard. If there were mechanical problems with our flight we would have been in trouble. Instead of mechanical issues it was weather that almost did us in - severe thunderstorms in Florida closed all flight routes and if we did not take off within 2 hours our pilot would have timed out and chances were slim that they'd get a replacement crew. JFK was deserted with only a handful of planes there as equipment had been moved and flights canceled in anticipation. Once airports opened some people were able to get out, others had no luck and could only be flown there after the cruise departed. One friend opted not to go (he was battling cancer at the time and did not need more stress) and another drove from New Jersey to Florida. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rkacruiser Posted January 23, 2016 #113 Share Posted January 23, 2016 It looked to me that Westerdam was struggling to get underway. Winds obviously must be an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Vict0riann Posted January 23, 2016 #114 Share Posted January 23, 2016 (edited) And here she comes onto the Port Everglades webcam, and starts tooting! Yay!:D You really wouldn't want every ship to make that much noise, but she has first dibs - she's the Queen!
