mac21902 Posted September 12, 2017 #7 Share Posted September 12, 2017 I was supposed to be on Conquest today and our flights have been cancelled. We have no way to get to Florida. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perditax Posted September 12, 2017 #8 Share Posted September 12, 2017 I've noticed that both PortMiami and Port Canaveral (and maybe PE? haven't checked recently) are all being very vague about when they might resume normal operations. I assume ('assume') it must be because they are waiting for infrastructure conditions (power, food, lodging, gas, flights) to improve on land.

Razor_Poke Posted September 12, 2017 Author #9 Share Posted September 12, 2017 Sorry Carnival treated you like that. Thanks for the port update. Carnival treated us fine, just passing along some info.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razor_Poke Posted September 12, 2017 Author #10 Share Posted September 12, 2017 So whats the problem. You cancelled. No problem, I was just passing along some info. We cancelled because of flight issues originally although the port and Carnival would later have their own issues. Ultimately, Carnival cancelled this cruise (Victory 9/12) and Delta ended up cancelling all of the flights we would have been on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hap Posted September 12, 2017 #11 Share Posted September 12, 2017 Port Canaveral is open and the Conquest and the Splendor are in port now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perditax Posted September 12, 2017 #12 Share Posted September 12, 2017 Port Canaveral is open and the Conquest and the Splendor are in port now. This is a thread about the port of Miami, so when you bumped it I thought there had been a PoM update. :) Also I'm 99% sure you mean Port Everglades, not Port Canaveral.

Hap Posted September 12, 2017 #13 Share Posted September 12, 2017 Sorry. I made two mistakes. Jump on this thread and it's the Port Everglades that is open and not Port Canaveral. Sorry again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
