serene56 Posted January 16, 2011 #26 Share Posted January 16, 2011 . And Carnival kept saying it was the weather. am curious to know if had something to do with the East coast waters? I have sailed on a cruise to nowhere and although the waves were not as big as I thought they should be with all that rocking and rolling.

eh24fan Posted January 16, 2011 Author #27 Share Posted January 16, 2011 Grrrr..yet another change from my cousin. She is making me nuts! She texted me last night to tell me they won't be debarking until 10:35am. Now to me, that sounds more like it! We all thought 8am was ambitious and were right. :) She's not a CC'er so it's no surprise she doesn't have a clue. HAHAHAHAHAHA When she left last week she told me that she found it a bit weird that I knew more about her cruise than she did. I have a feeling today that she will thank me for all of the "info" I gave her :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

serene56 Posted January 16, 2011 #30 Share Posted January 16, 2011 The ship must clear and that could take an hour or so. On the last morning you will hear names over the speaker for those people to come and clear their bill. Can you share the link of the Pride at the pier- I have never seen it.

S.S.Oceanlover Posted January 16, 2011 #31 Share Posted January 16, 2011 yeah 10:35 sounded more like it. Is that for self assist? as stated in an earlier post my son was off the Pride last Sunday at 8:45 doing self assist. got the shuttle back to the hotel to pick up their car and were home in Southampton by 1pm.

valley1pw Posted January 16, 2011 #32 Share Posted January 16, 2011 Can you share the link of the Pride at the pier- I have never seen it. Been watching this off and on last 3 cruises for Pride. Doesn't update often but seems accurate when it does.

9876 Posted January 16, 2011 #33 Share Posted January 16, 2011 Thanks for this info.We are on Deck 6 on the Pride this coming April and I'm somewhat nervous b/c according to this, if we self assist, we won't be getting to our parked car at the hotel until 11:30 at the earliest. Since we have a 10-hour drive ahead of us, and we have school the very next day, I am beginning to think this was a mistake. Last year spring break, returning home from Mobile (Fantasy), someone decided to do road work & lane restrictions on Interstate 65, and thus we arrived at home at 1:30 a.m. What was supposed to be an 11-hour drive, turned into a 16-hour drive. We were so exhausted and were lucky we made it home in one piece. I’m wondering if we can get going earlier. I have had those types of drives myself after spring break cruises (Miami to Virginia). If you do self assist take the embarkation tags off showing the sixth floor and just go ahead and go off at the first call. If they say something as you depart just let them know that you have a long drive ahead of you...I am sure they will not stop you (if they even say anything, which I doubt). If you do regular debarkation ask for a early zone...I have had luck doing that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
audcc77 Posted January 16, 2011 #34 Share Posted January 16, 2011 Thanks 9876. That sounds like a good plan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serene56 Posted January 16, 2011 #35 Share Posted January 16, 2011 interesting site-- thanks. Last Position Received its 6:02 and it says its still in port.-- does that mean the Pride did not leave yet???? I thought they were supposed to sail at 4pm??

valley1pw Posted January 16, 2011 #36 Share Posted January 16, 2011 Try again.....I see it coming up on bridge by Annapolis. Like I said....it's update frequency is not the best but when it does it seems to be an accurate depiction of position, direction and speed.

eh24fan Posted January 17, 2011 Author #37 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Well, we left home around 830am and were pulling into the parking lot at the pier at 10am. They had docked around 8am and were calling for the first deck self-assist by 845am! She was on deck 5 and they called them around 945am. She waited a few minutes and was walking out as we pulled in the parking lot. We pulled up to the pick-up parking right at the fence where they walk out and there she was. It was so easy! We were in and out in less than 10 minutes!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The chronic late arrivals back in to Baltimore have turned in to early ones again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
