JasmineB Posted January 12, 2013 Author #26 Share Posted January 12, 2013 Yes rushecmom, I'm on the crown now too. To the poster who asked, we have not docked to disembark this trips passengers, let alone load next weeks passengers. It's about noon here. I'm staying for another week so I'm not really affected by this. On a positive note, it's been a great cruise, beautiful weather, great service, excellent food. The fog is slowly lifting....it looks much worse here than on the harbor camera Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southwinds Posted January 12, 2013 #28 Share Posted January 12, 2013 Goodness I had no idea you hadnt docked I assumed you were all waiting to depart... what massive disruption for everyone... desparate to get off and cant .:mad: Ive never known it happen here in Southampton......that is why I cant pick you up on the AIS... I will look again for you.. So lucky you are on a back to back then... but rubbish if you are stuck in your cabin... The worst fog we had once was in the North Sea heading up to Norway... but we sat out on the aft deck of Arcadia ( P&O ) with the fog swearling around us.

Kamper Posted January 12, 2013 #32 Share Posted January 12, 2013 As someone noted the airports are running on time for now. A front is supposed to come through later today. We live about 25 miles inland from Galveston and it wasn't foggy this am. The humidty was very high though. Ground fog does happen in January and February in these parts. Hope everyone is able to get home ok. For those who are waiting to board there are plenty of places to eat and shop on the Strand. Also, the offshore museum (the rig that's just down from the cruise pier) is kind of interesting. The railroad museum is also within walking distance of the pier. Don't think of it as a delay, think of it as a chance to explore the island! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTGirl69 Posted January 12, 2013 #33 Share Posted January 12, 2013 Jasmine... Did the Crown stop at Belize? Someone on the roll call for departure today said they'd read where it had not. That Crown skipped Belize. Figured if anyone would know for sure you would. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikeyto Posted January 12, 2013 #34 Share Posted January 12, 2013 Based on what I am seeing on http://www.vesselfinder.com/ it looks like the Crown is on her way into port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shogun Posted January 12, 2013 #35 Share Posted January 12, 2013 Hi There Sorry to hear about fog issues never knew that part of the world got bad fog, hope Princess helps folks find flights, would have been nice if Princess allowed a free bar, or at least a drink or two yours Shogun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasmineB Posted January 12, 2013 Author #36 Share Posted January 12, 2013 Definitely stopped at Belize but one tour was canceled for safety reasons due to gang activity and recent killings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasmineB Posted January 12, 2013 Author #37 Share Posted January 12, 2013 Last report from capt Andy said we'd be alongside at 3:00 and that we were second in line behind the Disney ship. Moving slowly and blowing the horn a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silkismom Posted January 12, 2013 #43 Share Posted January 12, 2013 I'll be curious to know if Princess insurance will cover the cost of rebooking flts etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruisinChris Posted January 12, 2013 #44 Share Posted January 12, 2013 Just looked at the cam. Wonder if they will actually get out tonight? That fog looks like it's still pretty soupy! My sympathies to those delayed leaving. I know it's really stressful and messy. Hang in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pablo222 Posted January 12, 2013 #45 Share Posted January 12, 2013 Getting more for their money! :) What a silly comment. What they will 'more' of is a zoo on the pier, and a nightmare at the airport for everyone flying out today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasmineB Posted January 12, 2013 Author #46 Share Posted January 12, 2013 Those with princess air are being rebooked for tomorrow and getting hotels for tonight. So far only those who are carrying own baggage have left the ship. It's pretty crowded here when nobody had a cabin to go to. Im hoping we will sail tonight, we have two sea days at first.
