melissa@cruisecritic Posted October 1, 2009 #151 Share Posted October 1, 2009 We've gotten word from both lines that the ships have been cleared and are both on their way to their next port of call: Belize. At this point, no itinerary changes are expected. Royal Caribbean wasn't able to say when repairs will be made to Enchantment, but Carnival expects to fix up Legend while it is in sailing, so cruises won't be impacted.

Cape Posted October 1, 2009 #156 Share Posted October 1, 2009 Those pictures are crazy - as someone on that thread said - it seems like the dock could have done more damage than the boat! What cracked me up was the number of people out on their balconies and on deck just watching it happen. I know I would have been there watching too but it was funny to think they all just watched.

FargoCruiser Posted October 1, 2009 #157 Share Posted October 1, 2009 All kidding aside, looks like the Captain of that ship made a major under-estimation of the crosswinds and/or did not check the weather prior to casting the lines. There's obviously a squall going though at departure. The Carnival Captain made a big mistake today that thankfully did not cost any lives this time - he will definitely have some explaining to do.

boaterette Posted October 1, 2009 #159 Share Posted October 1, 2009 I would have hated to be in the oceavniew rooms when it hit. That would have been scary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fig414 Posted October 1, 2009 #160 Share Posted October 1, 2009 I don't know. The wind moves my golf ball. The Legend is slightly larger than my golf ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxamuus Posted October 1, 2009 #161 Share Posted October 1, 2009 I would have hated to be in the oceavniew rooms when it hit. That would have been scary. Wonder if any of the OV cabins had the windows busted out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salty dingo Posted October 1, 2009 #162 Share Posted October 1, 2009 Heavy wind? I wonder if the Legend went through a wrinkle in the fabric of space and became magnetic, and drew itself to the next big hunk of metal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jessemon Posted October 1, 2009 #166 Share Posted October 1, 2009 Let's see if this works.... Nope it didn't....Trying to pull up pics of the Grandeur Of the Seas after the wind/current caught it and put a 30 plus foot gash in the hull just above the waterline after hitting the pier...... I will try again. Wind and high moving ojects do not get along. Just try driving a high van over a bridge in very windy conditions.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they were leaving port wouldn't a Mexican pilot be sailing the ship at the time or do they only do that coming in? I'm sure Carnival will have the pieces flown to Belize tonight and installed tomorrow at port. By tomorrow night nobody will know it ever happened.

By the way...Looking at the denting (slight) and the scrubbed paint it will be noticed. think I'll go down to Channelside at the Tampa pier this weekend and watch them do some painting.....:D:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfatlga Posted October 1, 2009 #169 Share Posted October 1, 2009 I just did a google search and USA Today has the story and links to pictures passengers on the ships posted showing the damage. We are leaving on Oct. 25th on the Legend. The story said only minor damage and both ships were cleared to continue on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt they'll have such an easy time doing so in Belize though.....;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Livin4Real Posted October 1, 2009 #171 Share Posted October 1, 2009 Looking at the pics, you can see where the metal is pushed in in between the supports, hope it's an easy fix. :) Jessemon - you need to snap some pics of them fixing it :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrPete Posted October 1, 2009 #175 Share Posted October 1, 2009 And seeing that you have already decided the news with no facts what so ever maybe you should apply to MSNBC. Actually, I don't think MSNBC can actually report on it. They can only report on how FOX reports on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
