CruzR887 Posted December 15, 2009 #1 Share Posted December 15, 2009 Anyone have any idea why Conquest left the foggy Port of Galveston while Voyage is still tied up? I know the fog is bad but the port has not been closed. Was CCL reckless or is RCI to0 cautious? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The decision to take Conquest out was made by the port pilot onboard, the port pilot on VOS did not feel it was same to leave port, so not RCI or Carnivals decision Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aquahound Posted December 15, 2009 #3 Share Posted December 15, 2009 The pilots take a lot into consideration in these issues. The size of the ship, draft, and method of propulsion are some very big factors. Perhaps, the powers that be felt that the Conquest cold be safely navigated and the Voyager couldn't.

ranchingal Posted December 15, 2009 #4 Share Posted December 15, 2009 It also has to do with the fact that Voyager has to turn around by Pelican Bridge before heading out of the channel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruzR887 Posted December 15, 2009 Author #5 Share Posted December 15, 2009 Thanks, I was just wondering what the process was in making such a decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cindy Posted December 15, 2009 #6 Share Posted December 15, 2009 Conquest had already turned around before she docked on Sunday, greatly simplifying departure. Since Voyager still had to make a turn I think it was probably too risky to try to get her out in the poor visibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
