PompeySailor Posted June 25, 2023 #5 Share Posted June 25, 2023 There are no ships in Miami 😱 Found the only parking space in Port Was surreal seeing NO ships in port Found out from a police officer there was an incident with two yachts last night No other news from port Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cured Posted June 25, 2023 #6 Share Posted June 25, 2023 (edited) Currently listening to Marine radio on youtube webcam. They are warning people that they have divers in the water. Just told Carnival Celebration that the fire boat is in place and waiting for them. Prayers to all involved.

Rare Oceansaway17 Posted June 25, 2023 #7 Share Posted June 25, 2023 Wow upsetting news which will then make Miami airport full of drama rat of day with flights home. Miami is quite hectic with small boats and at times police have to chase them away from ships. But a collision in middle of night is odd do wondering what happened Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RFerrington Posted June 25, 2023 #8 Share Posted June 25, 2023 Frankly, I'm surprised that this kind of thing doesn't happen more often. That basin is so narrow... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bead Pirate Posted June 25, 2023 #9 Share Posted June 25, 2023 Listening to VHF, sounds like Coast Guard and Marina are getting a little "feed up" with all of the private boats trying to find a way around the blockade... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toad455 Posted June 25, 2023 #11 Share Posted June 25, 2023 The port and the basin should be closed off. People being noisy should really stay away. Expect all ships to be very delayed today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I did internship time with the USCG in Chicago and was involved in investigating boating accidents on the lakes. Fair share of fatalities) Boaters most likely figured they could cross in front of the ferry, and didn't calculate correctly. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cured Posted June 25, 2023 #15 Share Posted June 25, 2023 Sounds like this is going to be a long day for the cruise ships. According to marine traffic radio, the north channel remains closed due to the yacht that is sunk in the channel. Someone on the Celebration just posted that they have been told they may have to divert to another port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davidrlewis2302 Posted June 25, 2023 #17 Share Posted June 25, 2023 This is one of those times that can be cited when someone asks “can I make the 9am flight home from MIA after my cruise?” Thoughts with all affected. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njkruzer Posted June 25, 2023 #18 Share Posted June 25, 2023 Haven't heard much about what's happening onboard but saw posted for the passengers at the terminal they can check their luggage and there will be a shuttle to the Bayside Marketplace so they can get lunch and $20/pp will be put on their onboard account to cover lunch. A Carnival person will be at the market. Obviously an attempt to deal with all the people waiting. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They won’t be making a noon flight either. Poor taste saying this. People have died in the accident causing this problem. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njkruzer Posted June 25, 2023 #25 Share Posted June 25, 2023 Good luck to everyone waiting and those waiting to disembark. Sorry about the person who lost his life and the one who was injured. Was anyone else on the boat that sank? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
