Emerald Princess Tenders in water at FLL

[cindep]

Anyone else watching the web cam and noticed that there were two tenders in the water (definitely looked like Princess) next to the Emerald? She should have left by now. Anyone?

I noticed that also. I can't get any sound. I had sound before but now it says sound off and I can't get it to say on. Anyone else have no sound ?

I don't know what is going on with the Emerald, but I know on our last cruise that after we left a port, we stopped in the water, dropped a tender and evacuated someone for medical reasons. We were eating dinner and asked what was going on because we had stopped for quite a while.

My sound was off but has come back. We had problems with the hydraulics getting the tenders up at Princess Cays on our January 17, 2012 cruise. If I recall correctly it was that same side.

Thanks Cindep ! I just checked and it says sound on but nobody is talking.

I hope there are no problems for the Emerald. I am excited because I leave on the Crown two weeks from Sat.

I haven't had sound for a couple weeks now.

 

It looks like they pulled some thing up from one of the tenders through that platform on the side of the ship. It looked like it was orange fabric or something. I was wondering if it's some kind of drill.

[cindep]

And what I saw looked like maybe an inflatable raft. Looks like it might be a bit breezy ... maybe something got away from them? They're in the process of lifting one of the tenders.

They just announced that Maasdam is next.

The Emerald did that drill once where they deployed the chutes and had big orange inflatable rafts, so maybe it was one of the rafts.

Definitely getting sound today. They just advised the Emerald will be getting underway.

She is sailing out right now!

we jsut got off the Emerald Princess but had been stuck with an afternoon flight out of Ft Lauderdale.

 

Our flight, and many others, ended up being severly delayed due to weather in Ft. Lauderdale. The plane we were taking had to go to Ft Myers to refueld before landing at Ft Lauderdale and was over 2 hours late - and this snowballed and delayed other flights. AS we were taking off, my husband saw Princess reps in the airport - this was close to 4PM, so I'm guessing they were waiting for people who had booked flights through them.

On emerald at the moment, we were late leaving due to delays in loading, then we got put out behind x and hal. On noro alert , no bread salt etc.

[cindep]

Thanks for the update. Hope you only have smooth sailing from now on. Enjoy your cruise!

Hi

Thank you clarifying the delay. I was also watching on the Webcam and noticed the tenders. It did look pretty breezy down there-we had wind in Central Florida, too.

The sound was on, and did hear the comments about the departures and a catamaran coming in behind the cargo ship. The ship was supposed to leave at 4PM but it was close to 6 by the time you pulled away. Saw the X and Hal, too.

 

I saw the Emerald get underway and heard the horn blow. We've been on her twice, so she seems like "home" to us-as with the Ruby-(twice).

 

Have a great cruise. So far, no noro for us--keeping our fingers crossed on all cruises.

We are on the Ruby on our way back to Port Everglades. Captain pointed out to us the we were passing the Emerald about an hour ago. Everything looked fine.

All fine now, salt and peppers back, self serve back on in buffet, last night at dinner was a bit of a pain with the bread and butter etc, didnt see you go past on the ruby, saw the allure early on today
