[CCFC]

Where did you hear that?

[jeanlyon]

According to Marine Traffic she arrived in Miami from Key West at 0600 this morning, so not due to leave yet.

Passengers posting from Ventura on fb as normal, no mention of issues.

Oh come on, stop teasing... 😊

[Victoria 82]

Not teasing, picked this up from a friend who's friend is on Ventura. She doesn't know more and is waiting for an answer herself

It is just 16.15 in Miami so the ships will all start leaving shortly

[vitrocmax]

Ventura is due to leave at 6pm.

Just watching the Miami port webcam, I thought she was leaving but it's the Norwegian Pearl

She is leaving now, on time. 

It's a mystery, then, if anything is amiss then it's not affected Ventura's movement.

Agreed just watching the port Miami webcam and she is underway and heading out of the harbour.

However Meraviglia is still there and she was the ship refused entry to Puerto Rico and Jamaica.

Interesting webcam, are you also listening to the VHF? Oasis of the Seas that left shortly before already has a medivac ongoing

Ventura is currently travelling at just under 6 knots, leaving port .

Victoria - care to share something with us?

I am watching Ventura sail from Miami.  Lovely looking vessel.  Have long wanted to book a P&O Cruise or P&O Australia cruise from the United States.  Not as easy as booking a North American based cruise lines, I have discovered.

[terrierjohn]

Meravilia on her way now, I hope they have sorted out some Ports willing to accept her.

Chinese whispers... Pardon the pun...

I’m sure I saw on FB that Ventura had gone into key west port but no one was allowed to leave. 

The picture posted of their was stunning. I wouldn’t have liked to have missed that.

On Ventura now, everything is great. Where on earth did you hear those

rumours?  Good cruise, left Miami yesterday on time. Key West was fab.

a bit cool in New Orleans.  Now on our way to Puerto Rica.

Everglades, private tour, awesome as they say!!

Key West is lovely.  If you ever get the chance to drive down from Miami through the Keys right down to Key West, do it! Fabulous drive.

Yup, done that, got the tee shirt!

All crew shore leave was cancelled in the USA after the first day in New Orleans due to a crew member "jumping ship" - other than that all is as normal.
