Carnival Triumph

12/15/2011

Web Update #1

The Galveston area is currently experiencing heavy fog and the port remains closed to all inbound and outbound traffic. At this time, the Carnival Triumph remains outside the channel waiting for the fog to lift. We will be posting hourly updates on the arrival of the Carnival Triumph. For your comfort and convenience, we ask that you not proceed to the terminal until we confirm the ship’s arrival time and embarkation hours for your cruise. In the meantime, to stay in touch, we encourage you to sign up for text alerts by texting CCL1 to 36500 to receive updates. You can also visit our website at www.carnival.com/alerts. We look forward to welcoming guests aboard the Carnival Triumph today

I'm in Santa Fe and it's HORRIBLE here! We're about 15 minutes from the port.

great news! thanks!! we sail in a few weeks and worried about same thing happening then, it happened to me on the Ecstasy in FEB. and we missed our port.......hope they sail out tonight! Praying for NO MORE FOG!!:o

Looks like fog may affect our departure on Monday too..... (however, we can't control mother nature, so we'll stay positive because at least a cruise somewhere is better than no cruise at all :)

Nope, not me. I've been delayed boarding more than once in Galveston. That's why I never arrive at any embarkation port without water, nutrition bars and peanuts in my carry on.

[flounder315]

Wow, wonder if they had the welcome aboard show while they were at the dock? Bet there was a good turn out if they did, since they can't open the shops or the casino until they are in International Waters...

The last time this happened to me we didn't board until almost 6pm. It was open seating in the dining rooms and in addition to the Casino being closed and the Shops closed the bar's were running out of liqour because in Galveston there are limited selections until you are at sea because any liqour served while in Texas waters has to be purchased in Texas.

 

We finally sailed around 2am........
