Rare sid_9169 Posted March 13, 2018 #3251 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Wouldn't it be easier, and more safe to do the transit in the daytime? Just a thought... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FreestyleNovice Posted March 13, 2018 Author #3253 Share Posted March 13, 2018 I think it's the timing to be at the Ems river delta at a certain tide level. They rise the river's level from a lock at the delta/sea up to the yard to accommodate the draft of the ships that leave the yard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
$hip$hape Posted March 13, 2018 #3254 Share Posted March 13, 2018 (edited) Wouldn't it be easier, and more safe to do the transit in the daytime? Just a thought... Think of shutting down all the bridges over the Chattahoochee River around Atlanta for a day. Do you think anyone would complain?:) Edited March 13, 2018 by $hip$hape Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare sid_9169 Posted March 13, 2018 #3255 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Thank you for the info on the tides / lock. Yes, I suppose that they've got it all figured out...

Tmcorbett Posted March 14, 2018 #3262 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Did the live stream end? Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDougOut Posted March 14, 2018 #3263 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Did the live stream end? It did, but maybe it comes back up at each location? Translated... The current schedule (short-term changes are possible). Wednesday: 2:00am: Passing the Friesenbrücke in Weener 4:15am: Passing the Jann Berghaus Bridge in Leer 8:00am: arrival at the Ems barrier in Gandersum 10.15am clock: Passing the Emsperrwerk 11.45am: Turning the ship in Emden (Subtract 5-hours for EST, but it was behind schedule early on) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeahawkSiren Posted March 14, 2018 #3264 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Some color courtesy of Cruise Ship Photography... Wow! These 3 photos, and the lighting in particular, are stunning! Wish I was onboard right now. 79 more days! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDougOut Posted March 14, 2018 #3265 Share Posted March 14, 2018 I’m confused. The ship has already passed that 436 bridge (Jann-Berghaus-Brücke). This was scheduled for 4:15am, so it wasn’t expected for another hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheDougOut Posted March 14, 2018 #3267 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Appears the live stream was scheduled to return around 10am (5am EST)... Looks to be tackling a bridge at the moment... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikial Posted March 14, 2018 #3268 Share Posted March 14, 2018 It is my understanding that the balcony on 18 for the DOS on the Escape is significantly smaller - so you are probably correct!! We were in the deck 18 owner’s suite on the Escape and this deck looks pretty much identical (smaller than deck 17). Those numbers are definitely “off”. We hardly used the front deck due to it being insanely windy the whole cruise... Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare steamboats Posted March 14, 2018 #3270 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Appears the live stream was scheduled to return around 10am (5am EST)... Yes, she has to wait until she can pass the big lock at Gandersum (Emssperrwerk). She´s currently sitting at Leer close to the dam. steamboats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
