Old Sea Legs Posted February 26, 2012 #626 Share Posted February 26, 2012 They're going slow now because there's a speed limit in the channel. The Pride is due in at 9 so they're not late yet.;) I also think the Pride entered the bay a little later than normal. You're spot on! I watch Pride's comings and goings every week and she usually crosses over the Bay Bridge/Tunnel between 11:30 and 12:00. Last evening they arrived at that point at 12:30. On Friday I noticed that Pride left Freeport about an hour late - - the likely cause of later-than-usual crossing into the bay. ~ Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is ~two hours from here to Baltimore...I watch the ships sail in/out each sailing...and when I'm on the ship, I know when I'm passing my neighborhood. BTW, I don't say anything that isn't "good natured," or true. To all those sailing tomorrow...have a wonderful time!!! Cruzette, out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seacat65 Posted February 26, 2012 #628 Share Posted February 26, 2012 Jimbo~ I see that you are also sailing tomorrow on the Explorer. Have a wonderful and relaxing cruise. :) Wishing you Calm seas and Trading soft breezes. One of these days, I will have to try the Explorer, as I hear she is a great ship. Take care and have Fun......:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BND Posted February 26, 2012 #630 Share Posted February 26, 2012 When did Pride make it to Baltimore?:confused: I know she was there at 9:30 when I checked again. So, not really that late since she was scheduled in at 9 am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BND Posted February 26, 2012 #633 Share Posted February 26, 2012 The Enchantment just showed up on Marinetraffic off of Virginia Beach going 9.7 kts. She'll be into Baltimore earlier than 7 am. Normally she would have been where she is now at 8 or 9 pm tonight. Hence, the 9.7 knots. No rush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevensoap Posted February 26, 2012 #634 Share Posted February 26, 2012 She made excellent time to get to where she is now. She's not even reporting an ETA It's either gonna be a slow ride up the bay (very nice) or they want to tie up early and get the parts and repairs underway. Will the passengers be able to get off early if they want? Can the passengers with flight arrangements just stay put till they are suppose to get off. (I suspect both of the above) Well it's sunny, nice day overall for Maryland this time of year. Sudsy:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beachnative Posted February 26, 2012 #637 Share Posted February 26, 2012 After the article and video clip appeared I sent an e-mail to the reporter via the station stating my opinion of her reporting and asked for a balanced report. Maybe she will show up at the docks tomorrow. I hope so. I totally agree that someone should call the station and request that they send a team.

JBeaune Posted February 26, 2012 #639 Share Posted February 26, 2012 Ooops, that's 2200 UTS - what's that, 3am maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BND Posted February 26, 2012 #640 Share Posted February 26, 2012 Ooops, that's 2200 UTS - what's that, 3am maybe? 2200 UTC is 1700 or 5 pm. They're due in tomorrow am. It takes about 8.5 hours to normally get up the bay from the rt 13 bay bridge tunnel. They'll probably be a little early. Where are you seeing 2200? On Marine traffic I'm still seeing 00:00 which it's been showing for a couple of days (and even says that is from 2.5 days ago) and I think means they don't have an estimated time yet.

clean1owner Posted February 26, 2012 #641 Share Posted February 26, 2012 My guess is that RCCL is waiting to see if the part that's being flown in will fix the problem before they're forced to make that decision. My guess is that NOBODY on these boards knows even 1/10th of the total story, and all the speculation is pure nonesense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JBeaune Posted February 26, 2012 #644 Share Posted February 26, 2012 Sometimes when I click on the ship symbol, a box comes up with name, photo, etc., and includes a line which read ETA: 2012-02-26 2200 UTS. I can't get the box now. Speed 0.5 kts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBeaune Posted February 26, 2012 #645 Share Posted February 26, 2012 Probably picking up the pilot, up to 7 kts again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiasco Posted February 26, 2012 #646 Share Posted February 26, 2012 I just spoke to a customer service representative regarding our sailing that is scheduled for 3/19/2012-- The ship has under gone repairs; however, they did not completely repair the problem on board--hence the modified itinerary for the sailing departing tomorrow on February 27, 2012. I was told that any other itinerary changes going forward would be announced as late as possible with hopes that they will be able to resume their regularly scheduled sailings as soon as possible. We were told that a modified itinerary could mean that the port call at Labadee could be cancelled to allow for an extra day to return back to Baltimore from SanJuan, Puerto Rico. Additionally, passengers on any sailings that experience modified itineraries due to this mechanical issue would likely recieve an undisclosed onboard credit as compensation for the inconvenience. I hope the issue is resolved prior to our sailing...I would hate to miss our day in Labadee. I was told that any shore excursions that are already booked would be credited once on board the ship. Good luck to everyone scheduled on the Enchantment over the next few weeks--let's hope that everything else works out and we can all still enjoy a wonderful vacation at sea!!

JBeaune Posted February 26, 2012 #649 Share Posted February 26, 2012 Vesselfinder.com shows ETA of 00:00. Using marinetraffic.com, when I first bring it up, I can click on the ship symbol and get the box of info. It does show ETA: 2012-02-26 22:00 (UTC). But that's about 45 minutes ago, I think. OK, I won't post any more confusion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
