Pearl leaving Miami - in Reverse

Watching Miami Webcam

and the Pearl is backing out of the Port instead of going forward and using the turning basin. So weird!

I guess Pearl won't be able to turn around either until it's completely out of the channel.

 

Never seen that before.

 

NVM... Pearl is turning at the fork/split

it does look a bit strange, maybe the bow thrusters we not working properly.

I have never seen a ship set sail out of the Port of Miami backwards. Come to think of it, I have never seen a ship go that far in reverse either. That would be just way strange to go by South beach aft first on sail away - (edit: never mind she did turn right before the beach.) Quite a different view from POM for a change though.

Looks like it's turning now..............strange!

I'd like to know the reason why. Never saw that before.

We were on her one year when she went out backwards. She turns around just before open water in a large bay area between the ocean and port.

You will want to go to the Roll Call forum section of Cruise Critic and look for your ship/date/sailing.

 

Enjoy your cruise. :)

I was watching the webcam too. That was certainly...unique. Is there a reason that they couldn't use the turning basin today? It was a bit like a slow motion bank getaway; get up to speed in reverse and flick the nose around and keep on going. :D
