WildWillie Posted August 10, 2008 #1 Share Posted August 10, 2008 It's almost 1 hour late, and no sign of the Conquest in any webcam. Did I miss something? Winds appear normal, and all webcams are updating properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sewut Posted August 10, 2008 #3 Share Posted August 10, 2008 This is the first time that I have tried to watch her come in. I have been wondering too. Sewut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

travel girl23 Posted August 10, 2008 #5 Share Posted August 10, 2008 Still no sign of her. I've been watching off and on for about an hour. Guess she's running late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pungo3 Posted August 10, 2008 #6 Share Posted August 10, 2008 Maybe someone on the ship will post if they know why there is a delay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suzyjack Posted August 10, 2008 #11 Share Posted August 10, 2008 We are going on the Conquest next week. The documents I received with a schedule said that we arrived back in Galveston at 8:00am. So, isn't she on time? Or is 8:00 when people start getting off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixgun8 Posted August 10, 2008 #12 Share Posted August 10, 2008 Usually she pulls in at about 6:15 or so. I think folks start getting off at about 730 if I remember right. They schedule just a bit later cause it's better to be early than late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sewut Posted August 10, 2008 #13 Share Posted August 10, 2008 I can see her on the Harbor Cam now. I assume that it's her. She's just now going behind the oil derrick. She's hurt? Poor baby! Sewut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare ryndam Posted August 10, 2008 #15 Share Posted August 10, 2008 I am in Galveston and and I can see the ship from my windows. She made the turn about half hour ago and is tying up now (a little after 8:00am). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ryndam Posted August 10, 2008 #16 Share Posted August 10, 2008 I stand corrected. She is u-turning again. The bow is facing up-port; stern is toward the Elissa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suzyjack Posted August 10, 2008 #17 Share Posted August 10, 2008 this afternoon when she pulls out, which cameras can you see her depart on? I know the cruise cam and harbor cam, but what about any of the beach cams? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ryndam Posted August 10, 2008 #18 Share Posted August 10, 2008 The Galeston port cams are malfunctioning this morning. The ship is not shown on the webcam. I assure you, she is here. I am in Galveston and I can see her from my window. She is u-turning again; something must be mechanically wrong to have missed the pier the first time.

I am in Galveston and I can see her from my window. She is u-turning again; something must be mechanically wrong to have missed the pier the first time. That's her normal method of docking. Down the channel, do a 180 in the "turning basin", and then edge towards the pier. I'm sure many of us watch the 180 dance every Sunday. That way, she's ready to go full steam ahead with another load of happy cruisers about 4pm or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ryndam Posted August 10, 2008 #20 Share Posted August 10, 2008 The ship u-turned twice this morning. This wind is blowing rather strong from the Gulf this morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havinsnest Posted August 10, 2008 #21 Share Posted August 10, 2008 Since I seldom remember to watch at 6:15 I'm glad she was late this morning. It was fun watching her come in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G'ma Posted August 10, 2008 #22 Share Posted August 10, 2008 it was reported last night that she was having some propulsion issues and woudl be a couple hours late. Should be any time now. Another reason why you should never book an early flight at the end of the cruise, huh???:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sewut Posted August 10, 2008 #23 Share Posted August 10, 2008 The ship u-turned twice this morning. This wind is blowing rather strong from the Gulf this morning. Hmmm, I guess that would be what is known as a dock dance? lol Sewut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sixgun8 Posted August 10, 2008 #25 Share Posted August 10, 2008 As others have said, she's usually tied up at 6:30am. I'm fairly sure that's the time when you can start dis-embarking the ship. there is a certain amount of things that have to happen in between docking and debarking, So it's take about 45-60 minutes. Maybe can be sped up in this instance, but with homeland security and all that there are procedures and such. Hopefully this isn't a crew rotation or the happy cruisers are all screwed.
