...and lots of eating--they'll have to restock the ship before departing--assuming there will be departing!

Fellow Cruisers:

 

We are still tied to the pier here in Galveston at 2:10 pm on Monday. The captain came over the PA at 1:30 pm, and said that things are clearing up. Howerver, we have to get clearances, including from the Pilot Station, before we can cast off lines. I do see lots of activity on the Galveston Cruise Web Cam on the Starboard side (we are on the aft, and cannot see the starboard side).

 

We just enjoyed our room service lunch, and are looking through the balcony window at our cruiser friends on Voyager. We'll report updates soon, including when Conquest is in motion (you cruisers on Vogage should not be far behind!).

 

In the mean time, we have good views, and the proper expectations, consistent with Advent time. We are waiting, and that is good. More later.

 

Oh, my wife just reported the fog is rolling back in. Remember: we have to get visibility not only at the pier, but also at the Pilot Station at the channel's entrance into the Gulf. OK, we are hoping for anything that puts us in motion! More, again, later. Thanks for all of your good wishes for the people and crew on both ships!

Bon Voyage Bob and Donna and everyone else. Have a fun-filled six days. Thanks for the positive comments you posted.

[trbtweety]

[BC604]

The fog looks thick I hope Voyager makes it out as well.

[My6Dogs]

Dang! I've been watching this for an hour or so... Had to run upstairs (at work) for a couple minutes, come back and she's gone!!!

 

Hope everyone has a wonderful cruise! ;)

Looking at the cam it looks like Carnival Captain made a run for it just in time. I can see voyageer and dont think she made it out... D0es anyone have contact with passengers on her.

[summergal]

Does she pass by the harbor cam at all?

[conchead]

Dang! I've been watching this for an hour or so... Had to run upstairs (at work) for a couple minutes, come back and she's gone!!!

 

Hope everyone has a wonderful cruise! ;)

I KNOW the Feeling!!:mad:

been watching all morning, even had to go run errands 3 different stops.

Came home found it still there, and I was feeling really bad,

wondering if there were gonna be a full 24 hours late leaving,

read and replied to another thread and the blasted boat is Gone!!:eek:

But I am happy they are now on their way;)

[BC604]

Ahe will have to turn around and follow Carnival out. Its the only way to leave. The bridge on th eother end it to low for her to go under.

[Cindy]

I only have an iPhone for the webcams right now, but in the pictures the fog looks pretty bad. Since Voyager still has to turn around, it's a lot more difficult and slower to get her out. I'm not sure she's leaving right behind the Conquest today.

Fellow Cruisers:

 

We are cruising east and north through the Galveston ship channel, but I can tell you, the visibility is very limited...not even 1/8th mile. We cannot see Pelican Island on the Port Side, from our aft balcony. I hope we and our cruisers on Voyager make it into the Gulf without incident. We are prepared for anything. There goes the ship's horn again. I'll keep you updated. Thanks, everyone, for all of your support and stories. We will cruise with you one day!

...We cannot see Pelican Island on the Port Side, ...

 

Yay for the Pelican Island shout out!

[bobstack]

Fellow Cruisers:

 

We have cruised past Seawolf Park (barely visible through the fog), and have been right rudder now for some time. We must be on the east end of Galveston Island. There's no land-landmarks, though, through this fog. My Sprint Aircard will be out of range soon.

 

Again, thank you, fellow cruisers for all of your support. I'll have the more normal updates as our cruise proceeds. Keep our friends on Voyager in your thoughts and prayers for a good cruise. The fog is much worse now than when I posted before 2 pm. Godspeed Conquest and Voyager!
