Is the Splendor in Charleston and not in New York?

[peternina]

It looks like the Splendor has parked in Charleston...is that a scheduled stop or is she seeking safe harbor. The Carnival Splendor is scheduled to arrive in New York Thursday morning at 8AM.?

Something about an emergency medical issue with someone in the crew.

I was tracking the Splendor as I am getting on her on Thursday. My first thought was they were "seeking safe harbor" from the impending storm. However after calling Carnival it was explained there was an emergency and the Coast Guard could not evacuate so the ship went Charleston Harbor to evacuate. According to Carnival she should arrive on time in New York on Thursday. Phewwwww!!!!!

Splendor did pull into port behind the Fantasy.

A major noreaster is threatening the East coast Wed into Thursday night. Depending on how the storm tracts, expect several inches of snow, rain, winds and power outages. Traveling on Wed and spending the night somewhere is highly suggested. Have a great cruise and get out of this terrible weather!

 

Prayers to the crew member.

Usually its pretty serious if they divert from the planned cruise route, hopefully the crew member recovers from whatever ailment they are experiencing.:eek:

The Splendor is safe in NYC port.

The weather is awful! Lots of flights cancelled in the NY/NJ/PA airports. I hope everyone makes it to the ship!

On the local NYC news they've been having live weather-related news items all morning...and a little while ago a reporter was outside mid-town, & you could see the whale tail in the distance behind her....in all the snow coming down. I hope everyone who's cruising today makes it safe & sound. ;)

I wonder how much snow is on the ship?Hopefully someone on her will post pics.I can't imagine what it must look like,

T&P for the crew member. The Medical University of SC is located in Charleston so he should be in good hands.

 

Wishing all passengers a safe trip home from NYC.
