Does anyone know why the Conquest is still in port?

I would like to know also. We're on the Navigator. We can't leave till the Conquest leaves.

There is some radio chatter on PTZ.tv but nothing specific about what is causing the delay.

[SMSACE6]

don't know why, but I have rarely seen Carnival parked in that place. usually around the other side of that dock.

The only thing that the Captain referred to on the PTZ.tv radio chatter was an "issue". We board in two weeks so, I hope everything is good.

We boarded from that side last May when there were Navy ships docked on the other side, from the webcam this morning it looked there was another Navy ship docked again.

[SMSACE6]

thanks for that info.

 

wonder what is holding them up though.

We sail on her next Saturday. Not sure what but I heard mention of an *issue* too on PTZ and also heard them say they would be ready to get under way in an hour which would bring them to about 8pm.

Berths 21 and 22 are occupied by two Navy destroyers and an attack sub as part of fleet week. I believe berths 19 and 20 are occupied by the USS Bataan (LHD-5), an amphibious assault ship.

Thanks, I couldn't tell what is was, just knew it was Navy.

I think she be leaving soon, thought I heard in the next 15 min, plus see on the webcam, smoke from the funnel.

We're also on Navigator of the Seas, docked right behind Conquest. Port Control won't let us depart until the Conquest sails. We're already over two hours delayed. Fortunately, we have seven days at sea before we hit the Azores so we can make up the delay. I wonder if the Conquest is going to have a port issue tomorrow caused by the delay?

[SMSACE6]

harbor master now says 2030 for the pilot, though Conquest says ready to leave now.

[s_klugh]

Just heard on radio chatter both ships will have pilots by 20:30.Conquest asked if they could move it up as there ready to go!

Is the "radio chatter" you monitor on an app ... or do you have a radio you tune to it?

[SMSACE6]

it is heard on the webcam. Sorry I don't know how to link. but if you google port everglades webcam, should take you there, with links to many other great port webcams.

 

PTZ tv webcam should get you to it.

[tlw440]

[DashOhQ]

It's moving!!!!!!!!1

 

I'm excited, I'm not on it, I know nobody on it......but I'm still excited!

[jasong38501]

Several emergency vehicles in port, is that normal?

[SMSACE6]

nice sailaway, even though a late one, also a more than quiet sailaway. But guess people would be at dinner, or otherwise busy by this time. Still wonder why the late departure, and would be interested to hear of why from anyone on board, or in touch with those on board.
