Harmony Coast Guard Inspection 11/12/22

[RJ257]

I'm sailing on Harmony tomorrow 11/12,  live close so drive and park at the port. They have their annual Coast Guard Inspection tomorrow. Does the inspection have a tendency to slow down boarding times? I have a 12:30 time slot but could easily leave later and arrive at 1:30.

Renewals should not impact things much - first time ones, probably.

Harmony did a coast guard inspection  on June 12th,( but in port Canaveral) and delayed all boarding by about 40 minutes

Liberty had one sept 11 and boarding was very delayed. They didnt start boarding until almost 2 pm. No idea why it took so long. We waited and waited.

We're on Jewel. Boarded last Sunday the day she arrived back from a TA.  Boarding wasn't supposed to start until 12. We had 12 arrival time. We were aboard around 1130.

Delays probably for us as well tomorrow. 

 

On Wonder now, which is replacing Harmony in PC.  Will be coming from Europe, so indeed a lot of inspections for this ship, which have already been in abundance in all areas....especially USDA and drill practice.  

 

Since Wonder is coming to PC for the first time, I am guessing that will add to the delays.  Luckily no flights to worry about for us.

The main delay determinate is whether the crew show sufficient knowledge, skill, and conviction during the crew fire and boat drill.  At any time, the USCG inspectors can stop the drill, and have it restarted from the beginning, perhaps with a different scenario.

We are on Wonder for two weeks in January. Looking forward to trying out the new sun deck.

Bucky is up there right now...a spot in the sun, reading his book.  Me...I stay out of the sun, (been cut on too many times 😞 )...but enjoying catching up on CC while he is playing "sun lizard" and about  ready to settle into the cabin here to read my book now.  🙂

Are there no shady spots at all up there? (Yes, I'm lazy and June is too far away for me to have fully looked at Wonder; it will just make the wait feel longer.) On Harmony we used the cabanas for shade although it was pretty darn hot up there.

 

I don't do the sun either, wife can handle limited amounts, so we usually find a solarium spot (suite deck not usually an option as you know) where I'm fully shaded and she can spend a bit of time in the sun (although she was content in the shade on Indy).

Oh I am sure there are shady spots...I just don't need to search them out.  😉 

[Vacation...Yes]

There was a CG inspection on our Harmony sailing a few years ago and it delayed boarding for several hours. It was after 2p before we were able to board.

We're on this sailing, arrived at 1pm, no lines, went right aboard. Were in the diamond lounge for a couple hours, Coast Guard and a couple officers came in and the officers were explaining what the space was used for, "people who cruise a lot", we decided to wave at them and got a chuckle 😉
