Crown fogged in at Galveston this morning

[JasmineB]

We are anchored off Galveston and the port is closed due to severe fog. No updated info has been given on when we might disembark. 8:39 central time.

[Paul Bogle]

Visibility at the port is near zero. It looks like it may be a while for you folks as well as Disney Magic.

Relax and enjoy breakfast - what else can you do?

If you wouldn't mind posting updates as you get them...we are getting on....well, hopefully we are getting on. Thanks, much appreciated.

[JasmineB]

Yes, its unbelievably thick. We're doing a back to back so don't need to get off except to accomplish immigration , but i feel terribly for those who have a flight out of Houston, and those waiting to embark today. The terminal is going to be a mess.

[FWRR3]

Getting more for their money! :)

[JasmineB]

I'll try to post updates, spotty smart phone reception from my balcony though.

 

They are starting to show movies on the theater....doesn't look good.

Mother Nature isn't interested in human planning...:rolleyes:

Fog delays are not uncommon out of Galveston. A few years ago on a RCL cruise out of Galveston, we were stuck at the dock for two days. Boarded on a Sunday and could not get out of port until Tuesday morning.

 

Living in Dallas, it is great to be able to drive to port, but now we choose to fly to Florida for a couple of reasons. 1) the risk of fog delays, 2) weather is too cool to enjoy the outdoors on the first day out and last day back to port, 3) only Western Caribbean ports can be visited.

 

Hope fog clears soon and the OP has a wonderful cruise!

[JasmineB]

Omg dplusd ........two days......

 

I have to say it looks worse now than two hours ago.......and they have opened the kids center....since we're not getting off I'm hanging in my room, but I'm guessing the ship is a mad house

 

This is the first time I've seen room service offered on the final day....so i had breakfast in my cabin

Note to 3SDCRUISERS, my email is working far better than my internet, if you want to send me your email at mrsb2001 at hotmail, I'll try to update you when more is known.

I think this is one of the reasons Princess had given up on Galveston a few years ago.

 

I wouldn't worry too much about people with flights. It's likely those are delayed too.

[3SDcruisers]

Thank you. I just sent an email to you!

[MTGirl69]

Jasmine,

Appreciate the updates. BF and I are hoping to board today. Understand Internet service is spotty.

Actually, both Hobby and Interncontinental are running on-time, cloudy but no fog. I would suggest folks contact their airline as soon as they can to find out about flights and possible reaccomodations.

Hello Jasmine, could you also please send updates to gjenne@wavecable.com? We are looking forward to boarding eventually also here in Galveston. Thanks!

[OnlineMom]

I feel for all involved! May I ask - when is the fog season in Galveston? We have it where we live too (central California) and January is generally the worst month for it.

[southwinds]

Hope the fog clears soon and BON VOYAGE to all sailing on Crown.. take care of her as we are on her in May ...Out of Southampton... to the med... and will be our first Princess cruise...

[JasmineB]

Still no update as of this moments announcement.

[southwinds]

Where are you off to? when should you have sailed? its hard to work out as Im in the UK what time is it there?

[Pam in CA]

Hope the fog clears for you. I'm glad I booked a flight late in the day after returning from my Crown cruise in February. It might not help but it could make a difference.

Heard from a friend on the Crown, they have opened buffet and a couple of bars. No word on when they will debark yet and still foggy.

 

January and Feb can be pretty foggy in that area of Texas.

How does it work regarding the bars. Everyone has closed out their on-board accounts with the statement being delivered overnight or do they keep active and you can still charge things to your stateroom....

They are onboard now just arriving Galveston, the ship cannot dock due to the fog, they are staying on for a B2B. ;)

The ship sails again this afternoon for another Caribbean cruise.

It is Noon in Galveston.

Our son is onboard too. :(
