CrownCruise11 Posted July 18, 2006 #76 Share Posted July 18, 2006 My brother is an owner and captain of Sea Tow, Port Canaveral. He tells me that the coast guard is telling the Crown not to return to port. They want to meet the vessel at sea and do a complete head count.

sealegs9 Posted July 18, 2006 #80 Share Posted July 18, 2006 The news outlets know a lot less than is being reported here... Headline news is about to do a story after a commercial, and is showing a grainy images of the ship outside the port. They are only reporting a steering problem, heavy roll, and passenger injuries. Hey Matt- we are(were) on the 8/25 voyage.:( Just reported on ABC local in NY- a pax from ship on cell phone. He told about many injuries to elderly and heading back for medical care. He didn't know what happened- just saw all the water entering ship. We'll have to see what develops. My heart goes out to all who had to experience this. Especially Carol- who was reporting about her wonderful time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeaBrz Posted July 18, 2006 #88 Share Posted July 18, 2006 It's a little crazy out here in Cape Canaveral. Lots of helicopters, mostly news that I can see, but some red/white ones (CG?). Was told by a Port worker in Canaveral Meats that 20 ambulances were requested, 4 pumper trucks, and other assorted emergency vehicles. As posted above, according to the news (Channel 2) the CG needs to establish that the ship is controllable before they will let it into Port since it's supposedly listing at 12%. Not sure what the option is. Stay safe and very best wishes for a quick disembark SB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
