matt082600 Posted August 3, 2009 #1 Share Posted August 3, 2009 Does anyone know of a website that will allow me to find out how many nautical miles our ship will travel? I tried google, etc. and am not having any luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dolfandude Posted August 3, 2009 #2 Share Posted August 3, 2009 Does anyone know of a website that will allow me to find out how many nautical miles our ship will travel? I tried google, etc. and am not having any luck. If you have a week and some time, try sailwx.info/shiptrack/cruiseships.phtml you can track the ship's position each day and add it up. Good Luck with that! I do know that the ships carnival tv channel tells you how many nautical miles the ship has traveled at that particular time.

matt082600 Posted August 3, 2009 Author #3 Share Posted August 3, 2009 Thanks. I may try that. The whole point of this is to give my sons some educational information as part of our vacation. I am teaching them the countries/islands we are visiting, capitals, etc. I am attempting to find out how many nautical miles it is from NY to San Juan, but I may have to let that one go!! Thanks again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirkgun Posted August 3, 2009 #4 Share Posted August 3, 2009 There is a site on the web that if you go to you can type in your ship and find out where it is now and how far it has travelled along with when it left the previous port and when expected to dock at the next port. It is called sea scanner dot com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djhsolara Posted August 3, 2009 #5 Share Posted August 3, 2009 I don't know if Carnival does it, but at the end of our HAL sailings we have always received a Cruise Log that tells the specifics of the sailing, including the nautical miles travelled.

BlueC5Kitten Posted August 3, 2009 #6 Share Posted August 3, 2009 It is approximately 1400 nautical miles, as the crow flies...e.g. direct route via air . As for sailing, I'm sure the ship has a pre-determined route; however, that is subject to change depending on weather and other sea traffic.

Princess does the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T. Advisor King Posted August 3, 2009 #8 Share Posted August 3, 2009 Thanks. I may try that. The whole point of this is to give my sons some educational information as part of our vacation. I am teaching them the countries/islands we are visiting, capitals, etc. I am attempting to find out how many nautical miles it is from NY to San Juan, but I may have to let that one go!! Thanks again! I brought along a wall-sized map (which I had painstakingly assembled by printing out and taping together 28 one-page maps from the MSN Encarta world atlas website). I also brought my GPS runner's watch and took a fix on our position (longitude and latitude) two or three times a day and charted the course on the map. In-room TVs show the route, but it is far more educational to have a map posted on your cabin wall. Plus you have something to take home with you. Now that didn't tell me the distance travelled, but I thought I'd mention it because it served a similarly educational purpose. And everyone had fun charting and posting the position.

salty dingo Posted August 3, 2009 #9 Share Posted August 3, 2009 This site lets you click any two points on a map and calculate the distance. Very cool! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flutepilot Posted August 3, 2009 #10 Share Posted August 3, 2009 Does anyone know of a website that will allow me to find out how many nautical miles our ship will travel? I tried google, etc. and am not having any luck. Go to Google and type in "distances in Nautical Miles" A site that comes up works great. BTW, New York to San Juan is 1393 Nautical Miles, according to that site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salty dingo Posted August 3, 2009 #11 Share Posted August 3, 2009 The attached file shows an approximate route from Ft Lauderdale to Colon, Panama (our Miracle cruise), and is about 1,300 nautical miles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
