I am looking at the Galveston webcam and I don't see any ships. Are they gone or is the fog so bad I just can't see em?

 

They are still there - 12:53 PM. Trying refreshing your screen. But check out the harbor cam and beach cam. There is a powerful storm coming in.

Synopsis For High Island To Matagorda Ship Channel Out 60 Nm

Dense fog will continue along the coast and in the bays today as a warm front on the coast creeps slowly inland. Some brief improvement may occur this afternoon before the fog redevelops ahead of an approaching cold front. The cold front is expected to reach the coastal waters around sunrise on Tuesday. Behind the front...strong east to northeast winds will bring a chance for elevated tides during the rest of the week.

Dense fog advisory in effect until 6 am CST Tuesday

I wish I was with y'all. The Voyager is my favorite ship. We were on her in Jan and Feb of this year. Have fun and Godspeed for a safe trip back.

You can see big black smoke coming from the stacks when she blows:D And yes, I saw it a couple of times.

 

Can't believe they are still there ahead of this front, better make tracks.......

 

I love your Santa Emotioncon. By the way, are you on the Voyager waiting to leave?

Voyager is home?? Not sure this calculates. If the Voyager only sails from Galveston aprrox. 4 months of the year and Europe for the remainder of the year it would seem to me Europe would be home and it is just visiting Galveston.
What doesn't calculate to me is why there is always some smart **s who has to make a snide remark about something in the OP's post...what do you care where the OP considers Voyager's home?

Anybody care to be working guest relations on the Voyager right now? :rolleyes:

 

For sure!!! Weather is not RCCLs fault but I am sure folks who woke up to find themselves still in Texas were thinking, gosh I didn't realize Texas was so large...:D

 

Seriously, on the cruise cam watch the wx outlook was not good for getting the ship out real soon...if there is lots of dense fog offshore that could be holding them back, and that was the predicted weather until 0600 Tuesday.

The black smoke from the funnel has absolutely nothing to do with the ship's horn!

It sucks they are being kept in port. One would think with the advances in technology such as radar and GPS, as well as the need for pilots to navigate them through the channel and out to see what even if they took their time and did it slower than usual, they wouldn't have been kept at see. I guess the fog is really much worse than the webcams pose it to be.

I saw something for a split second floating around the bow, or are you talking about the yacht tied up there? Sweet is right. Here's a pic for you if you like that sort of thing. This on had its own Zodiac and submarine and was ported over by the casino at Atlantis when we were in Bahamas this summer: Wait

Looks like the pilot boat has arrived! Nope! 2il1yme.jpg

Relax, no need to name call. No intentions of being snide. Just trying to figure things out. Just did not seeem to make sense to me. Maybe you could have taken the time to explain rather than name call and make snide remarks. I don't care but obviously you do.

Sorry to disagree, but I have watched it from 30 feet away and it does blow black smoke when they blow the horn. Absolutely.:cool:

 

And Conquest has just dropped her lines!

Puffinater...it seemed like you were being demeaning to the OP by pointing out in your terms how It could not be possible that the Voyager would be "home" in Texas.... the "not sure this calculates" remark is the condescending part...I'm pretty sure the OP knows that the Voyager is only here for four months....but he/she feels like Texas is her home....my point is what good is it doing for you to make a remark like that...
