It is past 12 p.m. and she is still there so I guess the waiting continues. It's all about when the Pilots and the Port decide it is safe to sail. Also based on this article there are a lot of ship queued up out in the Harbor. I wonder were in line the Exctasy falls, or if she gets priority since her cargo is people and not goods.

Thanks for the update. I have been wondering what the latest info was.

Me too - thanks! It's very interesting to me - there are just so many natural events that can sideline things - never underestimate the power of nature!

Wow! We just came back on her Dec. 2. Glad we sailed when we did. I'd have been upset if we missed a port, even if they compensated us.

Looks like she's letting go of her ropes right now

Looks like they are finally going to go cruzing...... I feel sooo sorry for those people having to spend their first sea day in Galveston. Nothing pretty to look at from your balcony there...

You think they'll get some kind of Credit for not being able to leave?

There is a ship at the dock. Wonder if it's Ecstasy?

Yep... sure is and if she doesn't get out of there soon she'll be spending the night in Glaveston, too!

[mariemorgan]

yes it's the Ecstasy.

the worst part is that alcohol sales are restricted by law in TX ports and bar service is quite limited :eek:

[barbevrn]

Don't forget the sales tax you pay in port....

No alchohol can be delivered to the cabin until you leave, too.
