Carnival Triumph is Delayed

[friscoguy]

John Heald just posted on Facebook that Triumph should be in about 5:00. They are hoping to do a very fast turn around and head out again by 10:00-10:30 tonight.

 

Who is this Heald guy and how does he know?

He's carnival's Senior Cruise Director and Brand Ambassador.

He controls the weather and he knows because he has the lever that flips from bad to good... :D

Also got email from carnival that there will be $ 15 inboard credit for todays lunch...

've got some FUNtastic news for you! The port is now open for ship traffic and I'm happy to report that the fog has lifted enough at the channel entrance to allow safe entry into the port. The Carnival Triumph is expected alongside at 5:00PM and will begin to disembark guests from the previous cruise. Your check-in is scheduled between 8:30PM -10:00PM and we will set sail immediately thereafter. At this time, our itinerary remains unchanged. However, due to the delayed departure, a letter will be delivered to your stateroom tomorrow with an update.

If the Triumph can book it like the Magic, they'll have most of their day in Cozumel. I thought for sure we were missing half of Cozumel when Galveston sailaway #2 happened after 9:00, but we made it to Cozumel about 9:00 Tuesday morning.

 

Hope you guys make it out quickly!

Coz was pushed back from a 9-5 call to a 10:30-6:30 call.

8:23pm, boarding group 12. I don't know if we'll be departing by 10:30, but weather looks clear.

The Galveston cruise port cam looks like heavy fog has rolled back in. Is the Triumph stuck in port overnight? Much better to be stuck on the ship than to sit at the port waiting for a ship stuck at sea. Good luck to the Triumph passengers!!!

I was booked on Ecstasy 2/18/2011 and they were delayed due to fog. We were supposed to get on that Saturday but the ship didn't dock until mid-Sunday and we didn't sail away until noon on Monday. From a 5 day to Mexico to a 3 day to nowhere. Still fun though.

 

 

I was on the same sailing!

10:20p and pax still boarding. Fog has rolled back in. I can't see Margarita Ritas from my balcony.

We got off the Triumph at 6:10 pm tonight, thinking about those on today's sailing with lots of concern. Especially wondering what y'all are going to do about two dinner seatings! I sure hope the fog, which was still there as we drove away from Galveston, doesn't prevent you from sailing away!

So did the Triumph sail out tonight?

[brazosfarmwife]

Looks like she's still there per Webcam. I sure hope it's not foggy for her January 12th sailing. You never know this time of year though.

[momof3cruisers]

At least they are on the ship, but I sure hope they can make up some time. Whatever anyone says, missing a port would be a real bummer. Hope all goes well!

They are casting off the lines. I guess we are getting underway. 12:15A
