Ruby in Miami?

[G&T Cruisers]

I was just checking out the Princess ship web cams and it shows that the Ruby is going to Miami,is she moving there or is this just a port call.

[Colo Cruiser]

Maybe it got displaced from Port Everglades because of too many ships in....

 

[beg3yrs]

Seems to be an error. In two days the Ruby leaves Fort Lauderdale for South America.

 

The Roll Call for that cruise is still talking about leaving from FLL, not Miami.

[Colo Cruiser]

I know the AB or Cadet usually programs the webcam for the next destination at the direction of the 2nd Officer. Maybe he just stuck in the wrong destination.

I don't see her listed as an arrival on the pilots website:

We just arrived in Fort Lauderdale waiting to board Ruby in Saturday. Our suitcases have seen a lot of use the last couple of years and the wheels wont handle me having to pull them from here down the I-95 to Miami....

Must be an error. Princess doesn't go to Miami, even as an itinerary port.

I cant imagine where they may have ended up then! What if they were in Miami and Ruby is really boarding at Fort Lauderdale? I wouldn't be very popular if I insisted that Ruby make a stop at Miami just for my suitcases.

 

We are going to be onboard for 49 days and I dont want to even think how long it would take my wife to get over having to wear the same clothes for 49 days! Good thing for the Elite laundry and Mini Bar....and Happy Hour too come to think of it.

The Ocean Princess will make its final three Florida calls at Miami rather than FLL. The reason given was too many ships at FLL. As the first cruise (Caribbean Connoisseur) does not visit a distant foreign port, it has to return to where it came from, and I guess Princess figured it was best to have all three calls in Miami.

Well, the Ruby Princess is "Alongside Miami Florida" now. I guess I had better oil up the suitcase wheels...

 

I see by the web cam that Ruby Princess isn't the only ship that has moved to Miami though.

According to the Caribbean Princess webcam, it is in FLL. The webcam shows another Princess ship there, Ruby Princess?

 

Looks like they made an error in the port shown on the webcam for the Ruby.

[john_galt]

Isn't that a picture of the Oasis? Looks like Ft. Lauderdale to me.

[john_galt]

Just noticed the AE_Collector handle. I assume we have crossed paths on the CRPF. (zaphod01)

[AE_Collector]

Yes, FLL and the Oasis right where they both were in December when we last disembarked from Ruby.

 

I hope we get out of FLL before someone of importance notices the mistake and some crew member has to walk the plank...

I would actually LOVE to see them drive an Oasis-class up the Miami ship channel. Can you imagine? ;)

 

 

Here's an AIS screen grab of the ships in Port Everglades today...

Ruby is moored at Port Everglades as seen on this website for marine traffic.

Wow, small world! Hi John.

 

Yes we are off for a bit of a cruise starting today, 49 days from FLL to Los Angeles actually!

Enjoy, AE_Collector

 

Rebuilding a Northern Electric 20PC today. Nice but not at sea!

[AE_Collector]

Yeah Maybe I should bring some projects along with me to work on! Go see if they will let me use the workshops on board. Uh, probably not!

 

Thanks John, see you on the CRPF!

I was just checking out the Princess ship web cams and it shows that the Ruby is going to Miami,is she moving there or is this just a port call.

 

Many people I know who work on ships just use 'Miami'

to refer to Ft. Lauderdale, Miami, and Florida.

 

I had one girl (who is very smart) ask me if Miami is a state.

It sounds crazy to hear that, but then I doubt I could name

a state in her country...

 

Crew often flies into Miami, and that is what sticks in their mind.

 

On Carribbean, as I boarded, there was a log sheet inside the

shell door, which recorded the date/time/place when the door

was opened and closed. Even on that, it said Miami (and the

ship was in Ft. Lauderdale)

[waltd]

It's in Ft. Lauderdale.
