parrotthead Posted April 19, 2009 #2 Share Posted April 19, 2009 Yep, the rain in the area yesterday was unreal~! We are now (not so ) paitently waiting for the Conquest to get in!! :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yst347 Posted April 19, 2009 #3 Share Posted April 19, 2009 Yeah...the weather here has been horrible the last two days. Houston had alot of street flooding yesterday. The system is still offshore. It probably forced Conquest to a crawl through the offshore platform city last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Mach* Posted April 19, 2009 #4 Share Posted April 19, 2009 I was told that the seas were too rough to put the pilot on board early this morning and then the fog rolled in... They expected it to be 10AM or later before they dock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bead_dazzled Posted April 19, 2009 #9 Share Posted April 19, 2009 We sailed out of Galveston on the Esctasy in December....she was 12 hours late getting back to port because of the fog...it was nearly 11:30 pm before we were able to board. I have heard several stories of the Conquest and Esctasy being late due to fog lately. Looks like she made it...http://www.galveston.com/cruisecam/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wrp96 Posted April 19, 2009 #11 Share Posted April 19, 2009 Yep, the rain in the area yesterday was unreal~!We are now (not so ) paitently waiting for the Conquest to get in!! :( Parrothead called me at 2pm and they still were not boarding - but they were to be first to board. Also, that Carnival was giving everyone a $15 obc for the delayed boarding. She sent me a text at 2:49pm that they were on the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Babyblue Posted April 19, 2009 #14 Share Posted April 19, 2009 We have friends on this trip, she was supposed to be with us next week but had to go 1 week earlier due to husbands R&R schedule change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Littlegoo75 Posted April 20, 2009 #15 Share Posted April 20, 2009 I was on the Conquest and we were a few hours late due to the Port of Galveston being closed. Aside from a bunch of people just hanging out for a few extra hours because there was nowhere to go, it wasn't too eventful. I felt bad for those that had early flights to catch, but it's just another example of why you have to be careful not to book too early of a flight the day you get back. Luckilly, we just had to drive back to Houston, although parts of the I-45 Northbound were closed down to just 1 lane and it took us almost 2 hours to get back home instead of just one hour.

SkiAz4Free Posted April 20, 2009 #16 Share Posted April 20, 2009 Yeah, we hit that storm late Saturday night, and rolled through it till morning. LOTS of pretty bad lightning and sheets of rain coming down sideways. Some parts of Galveston got 8 inches that night. We were hanging out in the main auditorium on Deck 3 and did the self-assist check out. THAT was the way to go! From the time that they started letting people off, until we got through customs was about 5 minutes. Very easy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
