Jewel is late for Vancouver this morning

[reveur15]

It Was scheduled for 6am pacific time. Not yet there. Looks like it will be 1 hour late. I hope nobody will miss early flights... I'm checking in this morning at 10h30. Do you think i should delay my arrival time by one hour ?

Finally it is docking now. Almost 1 1/2 hour late.

And another one ship is coming in at the same time. Disembarkation will be crazy.

Is it possible they had to wait for the tide so there was safe clearance under the bridge?  When I sailed into Vancouver on the Bliss in 2019 we were scheduled to arrive around noon but didn't dock until almost 2 as we were waiting for the magical 20 minute window where tide was low enough for the ship.

 

I know the Jewel probably has a slightly lower 'air draught' than the Bliss but it may still be a consideration.

Two cold fronts are pushiing thier way through the Pacific Northwest (back 2 back), chilly windy weather.

 

The Bliss was sailing in very ugly seas last night along the West Coast of Vancouver Island out in the Pacfic Ocean.  I think the Jewel is sailing the Inside Passage (between Vancouver Island and the mainlad of Canda) which might not be any better.

 

Just checked both the webcam for The Bliss and Encore.  The Bliss is still in very ugly weather.  For The Encore the ocean is not as rough and the sun is out, might not last long however.

 

Prayers for The Jewel and Her staff.

Not the case as the tide is climbing this morning.

It looks like my cruise will be wavy.

The Captain was hard to understand but the delay had something to do with missing the window to enter the Seymour Narrows.  He announced yesterday that we'd be a little delayed into Vancouver.

I'm onboard finally 😁

Back in July we had a medical emergency and had to divert to Prince Rupert. We lost almost 7 hrs but were able to make up most of it by running at near top speed. We did miss our window for the narrows and had to wait for the next slot, then it was full tilt to Vancouver arriving 3hrs late.

Last week Celebrity Millennium was also delayed clearing in Vancouver.
