1BDNANA Posted February 4, 2023 #1 Share Posted February 4, 2023 Does anyone know why what I believe was the Freedom of the seas backed all the way out of the port of Miami on Friday the 3rd ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare shof515 Posted February 4, 2023 #3 Share Posted February 4, 2023 maybe the turning circle area that they used was not available and ship needed to leave quickly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joseph2017China Posted February 4, 2023 #4 Share Posted February 4, 2023 maybe the gear shifter was stuck, and they couldn't get it out of reverse? 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare BirdTravels Posted February 4, 2023 #5 Share Posted February 4, 2023 Maybe the Pilot could not figure out which end of the ship was the front. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume that she was docked port side to the dock, then? What were the winds like at the time? State of the tide? Very likely between a strong tidal current and cross winds, the turning basin by Fisher Island was not safe to use. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare twangster Posted February 4, 2023 #7 Share Posted February 4, 2023 Pretty windy in Central Florida yesterday, same winds probably made it to South Florida later in the afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1BDNANA Posted February 4, 2023 Author #8 Share Posted February 4, 2023 After the ship backed down the channel the other two cruise ships that left after her went down and used the turn around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Oceansaway17 Posted February 4, 2023 #9 Share Posted February 4, 2023 Freedom has been backing out for the last three weeks. It is faster for this ship so no need to go up to the basin. I am betting the harbor captains like this as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
