Ships anchored off Miami

[villager70]

Collision  with the Fisher Island  Ferry and a private yacth in Miami has delayed  a  Carnival, Norwegian and MSC ships for docking this morning. Have one dead in water so search is on in channel by coast guard

[twangster]

Terrible news

[RFerrington]

UGH.  So sad

There are no ships in Miami 😱

Found the only parking space in Port

 

Was surreal seeing NO ships in port 
Found out from a police officer there was an incident with two yachts last night 

 

No other news from port

[cured]

Currently listening to Marine radio on youtube webcam. They are warning people that they have divers in the water. Just told Carnival Celebration that the fire boat is in place and waiting for them.  Prayers to all involved.

Wow upsetting news which will then make Miami airport full of drama rat of day with flights home.

Miami is quite hectic with small boats and at times police have to chase them away from ships.

But a collision in middle of night is odd do wondering what happened 

[RFerrington]

Frankly, I'm surprised that this kind of thing doesn't happen more often.  That basin is so narrow...

Listening to VHF, sounds like Coast Guard and Marina are getting a little "feed up" with all of the private boats trying to find a way around the blockade...

its always those impatient idiots that ruin things for the people that follow the rules. similar problem on ships

[toad455]

The port and the basin should be closed off. People being noisy should really stay away. Expect all ships to be very delayed today.

From my experience, alcohol was surely involved.  (I did internship time with the USCG in Chicago and was involved in investigating boating accidents on the lakes.  Fair share of fatalities)  Boaters most likely figured they could cross in front of the ferry, and didn't calculate correctly.

340 am.  Don’t think you need to wonder much🙄

More is starting to come out, maybe a lack of boating experience...

Sounds like this is going to be a long day for the cruise ships. According to marine traffic radio, the north channel remains closed due to the yacht that is sunk in the channel.  Someone on the Celebration just posted that they have been told they may have to divert to another port.

These are the times I don't regret that we stay an extra night when we cruise from Florida! 

[davidrlewis2302]

This is one of those times that can be cited when someone asks “can I make the 9am flight home from MIA after my cruise?”

 

Thoughts with all affected.

Haven't heard much about what's happening onboard but saw posted for the passengers at the terminal they can check their luggage and there will be a shuttle to the Bayside Marketplace so they can get lunch and $20/pp will be put on their onboard account to cover lunch. A Carnival person will be at the market.  Obviously an attempt to deal with all the people waiting.

Each ship has 2 terminals 

 

MSC C & D

Carnival F & G

NCL B & E

 

How the logistics are going to be going forward.

All we know is nothing will happen for 6hrs 

 

MSC have got people through security and into waiting areas upstairs in the AC

No idea on NCL and Carnival 

 

we got a taxi from Garage at G to Terminal C, originally we were due to sail out of E

Bjerknes that all changed without any announcement, we worked it out ourselves by talking to port staff

We have two vending machines

that are being abused

 

The food and drinks are all on the ships

Nothing in our area 

but we had prepared with a snack pack

We just got a phone call and we will be getting $20 OBC from MSC

They won’t be making a noon flight either.   Poor taste saying this.  People have died in the accident causing this problem.  

[njkruzer]

Good luck to everyone waiting and those waiting to disembark.  Sorry about the person who lost his life and the one who was injured.  Was anyone else on the boat that sank?
