Reflection Full Speed Aheas

[cruisestitch]

For those following on sites which show ship positions, we are pulling ahead to get to FLL a day early, due to two medical emergencies.  Once those passengers are taken off we will head back to sea on a short “cruise to nowhere” and return to FLL for the scheduled disembarkation.

 

no other passengers will be allowed off, there will be no C&I to take care of them, no porters or security or ground transportation.  We don’t even know which pier we will be using.

Unlikely we will use any pier....expect evacuation to a coast guard ship or perhaps to a helicopter when we get in range....if it is a real emergency.  Sounds like a situation that’s medically under control but should be treated in a hospital.

 

doesnt really impact our cruise....we’ve had this same situation before....get to port early, then go back out to sea.  

 

We we have increased speed from 20 knots to 22 knots

Looks like we will be docking, according to Port Everglades site.

If you believe that site, the allure will be leaving empty....and the reflection docks on Sunday and doesn’t leave until Monday.

 

my bet is still that we won’t actually dock....

[cruisestitch]

Well, Allure will be leaving empty.  That’s for sure, because it is repositioning to Miami.  Maybe the  officials are just keeping all the options open for now.

What is the ship's speed?  

[cruisestitch]

Around 22 knots, I think.

The Captain said we are using $250,000 worth of extra fuel to be at FLL a day early !

A new star code was just called.  We are barely out of the port after three passengers were transferred to waiting ambulances.
