Playing 'Hide the Conquest'...

[*Mach*]

What can you tell me about the Carnival Spirt. I have been on the Elation 3 times and the Victory-1 and RCCL- 1

My email is halvorsen18@hiotmail.com

Thanks

 

I really can't tell you a ton about the Spirit as I've never sailed aboard that class of ship. What I can tell you is that the Spirit class has a very dedicated following. That class of ships has a slightly better cabin space ratio meaning that there's more room on board per passenger. Many folks really like the layout of the decks, more so than the Conquest class although I can't find fault with them.

 

The Spirit class have supper clubs, which is always a wonderful plus and they are fast, putting more ports in reach of them than other classes of Carnival ships.

 

My best suggestion to you would be to read as many of the reviews of the Spirit and her sister ships as you can locate. Find the reviews of the Spirit here:

I think you'll be pleased by how many extraordinarily good reviews there are.

 

Hope this helps. If not I'll see what other resources are available.

Mach, thanks again your the man :)

[ShillyShally]

Yeah...and with every passing minute...I think it looks more and more for sure...that they will be spending the night in Texas!

 

What I imagine...is that word has gotten around now...that there isn't much drinking time left...and somewhere around 11:30 or so...there will be a mad-rush on buckets of beer! The law doesn't say you can't drink after midnight...just that the ship can't sell it.

 

LOL - Maybe they'll have to make sure to restock before they pull out of port if there is a run on beer :)

LOL...I bet they have a call into Ben E. Keith!

As far as the ship not being able to leave because of the fog..its NOT just the fog..that stretch leaving Galveston is not that wide and quite a few wells to avoid hitting...its very foggy at my house tonight too...but I still wish I was on her now! :)

[KRUISE KING]

My after dinner after the show hang out is normally the casino so I would be sad but happy I was on board. Too bad they cant go out about 9 miles to open it up.

 

Yeah I will see you at the next San Antonio dinner My pvp is ok he does not bother me too much he know most of the time I can go last min. but Im glad im not on the conquest would be pretty sad right now with no casino open, plus I think they have to charge tax on drinks.

Don't know why I'm surprised she is still docked, glad I didn't wait for her to leave yesterday. The weather is a big reason I don't cruise or fly in the winter months. The spring seems to work best for me. Poor people.

[Lovesunshine]

She is still there...ouch! The real sad part is the fog looks just as bad now as it did 8 hours ago. Hope it clears soon for these folks soon or this will truly be a "cruise to nowhere".:(

[Daisydog7]

I live in Galveston, and the fog looks worse right now than it did yesterday. Poor Conquest! Let's hope the fog lifts for a few minutes, enough time for Conquest to slip out. I wish one of the passengers would tell us what Carnival plans to do instead of sail to Jamaica.

[Maxax]

Yup....she's still there! And here it is now...5:48 am Texas time...the Conquest did sit there all night long! Well...like I said earlier...I could imagine worse places to be!!! I'm sure she'll get out this morning...and A Way they will go!!!

[Luanne21]

Good morning my fellow watchers. What time does the Ecstasy come in this morning?

[Montycruiser]

Guys, isn't Ecstasy due in this morning???? I guess it will be another long morning for them also...........

[StephenNSamantha]

Good morning my fellow watchers. What time does the Ecstasy come in this morning?

 

Scheduled for 8 am, but I don't think that is going to happen.

[*Mach*]

Good morning my fellow watchers. What time does the Ecstasy come in this morning?

 

Scheduled arrival is 8 AM... I'm sure that's going to be delay, as well.

[cruisin53]

The Ecstacy should be in by 8:00, but due to the fog stretching out about 20 miles, she will probably be a little late too. Just depends how soon it starts letting up. Should be interesting??

[DALSAL]

It is SO foggy,you cant see a thing! I see NO lights from the Conquest..either she left and I dont know it,or the lights are off! There are major fog advisories out all around the Galveston/Houston area. You cant see anything on any of the webcams.

she is still there, a few minutes ago I saw her briefly in the fog!

Does anybody know what ports she will do now? what a bummer of a deal.

[Luanne21]

She is still there. They turned out the lights around day break. I am picturing them have to get a jump on the battery, after using the lights all night.:)

[Luanne21]

They probably won't go all the way to Jamaica.

[DALSAL]

Wow..I cant even see an outline of her! That is a bummer!

[SheriNtexas]

I can barely make out the outline, unless i have stared at it so long and it is all in my head, lol!! :eek: :D

[DALSAL]

The outline seems to come and go..but shes still there!

[tbjl24]

Yep, you can see her now. 9:28am EST

[arkycruisers]

its 828am central time -i took about 3 minutes for her to come into sight -she on the creen right now in view

[DALSAL]

Yes she is,but she is fading in and out still...I saw her come into view pretty clear and about a min later she was getting foggy again! Id still like to be on her than on my way out the door to work! Have a good e1. Dot
