cusyl Posted April 10, 2004 #1 Share Posted April 10, 2004 I understand from someone that lives in S.C. that a ship calling at Charleston did not have the proper paperwork and was not allowed to disembark any passengers. Anyone know what ship this was? I don't know if it was calling there or if they embarked there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted April 10, 2004 #2 Share Posted April 10, 2004 Like why would anyone really care about it anyway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BruceMuzz Posted April 10, 2004 #3 Share Posted April 10, 2004 If you do care, it was Celebrity. They filed and sent the proper papers via email, but due to a satellite snafu, the email did not arrive in the required 24 hours advance time. The Coast Guard decided to play hardball and kicked them out of port for 5 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest nhrich Posted April 10, 2004 #4 Share Posted April 10, 2004 It was Celebrity's Galaxy. Seems this wasn't the first incident like this, so I think that's why the Coast Guard decided to play hardball. Rich 12/94 Holland America Nieuw Amsterdam - W.

smeyer418 Posted April 10, 2004 #6 Share Posted April 10, 2004 here is the story from fairplay Incorrect manifest ruins cruise HUNDREDS of passengers were stranded in Charleston, South Carolina yesterday when the US Coast Guard forced Celebrity Cruises’ Galaxy to leave port for several hours because of an improperly filed passenger manifest. Some of the 380 stranded passengers watched from the pier as their friends and families waved from the departing cruise ship at about 1400 hrs as the vessel – and the remaining 1,634 passengers - were escorted 12 n-miles offshore, beyond US territorial waters, to wait out the 24-hour notice period. The vessel eventually returned yesterday evening to resume its schedule. The cruise line now faces a potential $32,500 civil fine for a third offence relating to improperly filed manifests. The two previous incidents occurred in Charleston and San Juan and all involved the Galaxy, said Coast Guard Petty Officer Dana Warr. In the latest case, Celebrity Cruises spokesman Michael Sheehan said a "computer glitch" prevented the notice from reaching the Coast Guard in time. 16:01 8 Apr PS Mark I hope you never ask a question that others think ...
