Arizona Cruz Chic Posted March 24, 2014 #1651 Share Posted March 24, 2014 What Carnival thread? THX *** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare BecciBoo Posted March 24, 2014 #1652 Share Posted March 24, 2014 I'm also subscribed to the Carnival thread. :eek: Don't want to make anyone mad, but some people who live 2000 miles away and do not know anything about the subject and just flap their jaws is a pet peeve with me! "No other ports have fog"...what a lame comment that was! The entire ocean has fog at one time or another. Galveston's location and Texas' weather just gives her a little more, that's all. Duh!:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare BecciBoo Posted March 24, 2014 #1653 Share Posted March 24, 2014 (edited) Been studying the photos from Houston Chronicle along with Google maps and there is already oil at the entrance to the port channel and beyond in the Gulf proper...so how is keeping the ships in the channel going to help that, it's already out there! Also, my sympathies to all Galveston residents...this is going to be a tough summer season...:( I wonder what the Anahuac sanctuary looks like, with a north wind blowing south/southeast, a lot of it should go right into the santuary:( Edited March 24, 2014 by BecciBoo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cindy Posted March 24, 2014 #1654 Share Posted March 24, 2014 (edited) Between him and "Susiecruisey", wow... :rolleyes: I haven't had the "pleasure" of reading any of the Massachusetts guy's drivel, but Susiecruisey's comments about insurance and compensation are ridiculous.:rolleyes: I just checked the Carnival thread for the first time today. Apparently someone took offense at my comments to Susiecruisey about personal responsibility.:o Edited March 24, 2014 by Cindy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stobe1 Posted March 24, 2014 #1655 Share Posted March 24, 2014 (edited) Just ignore those making the foolish and idiotic posts. Don't add fuel to their fire and give them reason to continue making stupid comments. If you ignore them, chances are they'll shut up.

Also, unless the hull is scrubbed clean the ships would be spreading the pollution. What has not been mentioned is all the oil field stuff stuck at Pelican Island not getting out to rigs and platforms...that can create some issues...especially if food is involved...hungry crews out there = not good.

cvanhorn Posted March 24, 2014 #1657 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Has Navigator made it out yet? This is one of the times where having cruise insurance would pay for meals/hotels/etc. due to the delays encountered. We are scheduled to leave next Sunday on Navigator and hope the area is cleaned up by then. Of course the shore will take much longer than the water and cause more economic problems for the area.

Rare BecciBoo Posted March 24, 2014 #1658 Share Posted March 24, 2014 How much could be clinging to the ships? Surely more just in the water already is my point. They could deploy helicopter deliveries:o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not completely true. I called my insurance company and because its not an act of nature it may not be covered. It would all go on a case by case basis. It is considered man made accident not wether ect. I called to see if it would be covered. We don't sail till this weekend but I was wondering what this would be.

They could deploy helicopter deliveries:o Becci, someone on the Navigator roll call reported that they will have to be inspected for oil/decontaminated before they leave, and then again after they get out of port. I think the last thing anyone wants is for this spill to be spread by ships and impact a greater area than it already is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rancher Dave Posted March 24, 2014 #1662 Share Posted March 24, 2014 How much could be clinging to the ships? Surely more just in the water already is my point. They could deploy helicopter deliveries:o If food really ran out on one of the rigs, they would fly some out. I hear Dominos Delivers...LOL Way back when...like 20 years ago, after a successful well in deep water (which is no longer considered really deep for where they drill) we had a super seafood feast to celebrate the good well...all the seafood was flown out by helicopter to ensure freshness. I hear each celebration, one for our crew and one 2 weeks later for the other crew, cost around $10K or somewhere like $125 per person and that was without any booze. As for the oil the ships push so much water as they move it would push the oil outside the containment zone which is what they don't want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the last thing anyone wants is for this spill to be spread by ships and impact a greater area than it already is. Of course not, but my contention is that I didn't see any black on the hulls yesterday and it's already out past the booms. I wonder if any passengers have noted any cleaning on the hulls this morning? Sure wish LoneStar would post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare BecciBoo Posted March 24, 2014 #1665 Share Posted March 24, 2014 (edited) Hey Dave, they can fish can't they?

Seeing oil sheen on the water by the ship so it isn't looking good for immediate departure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Girr Posted March 24, 2014 #1667 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Currently on board, and I haven't seen any activity of the hull being cleaned. There were two flat small barges going by about 10 minutes ago which I had my fingers crossed were here to do the "cleaning". However, they have moved on past us.

Sorry to hear that this has impacted your cruise. We leave out next weekend and are watching the cams and monitoring this forum. Keep your head up and try to enjoy the rest of the vacation.

Kimnjimnkids Posted March 24, 2014 #1670 Share Posted March 24, 2014 And don't forget about the ship nightmare RC is dealing with in San Juan right now. That ship (AOS) is broken and passengers are onboard wondering if they will leave the terminal too. They're not getting proper communication either. Both situations must be overwhelming RCI at the moment. I hope you guys get on your way soon!!

SRV FAN Posted March 24, 2014 #1671 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Hotel Galvez has posted the current oil spill activities on it face book page. As in beach closures, where they are seeing oil on the beaches & where they expect to see it. Also the AP has an article with info from the Coast Guard. So very sad. All the wildlife that is & will be effected. Sent from my iPhone using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MomToPrincePhillip Posted March 24, 2014 #1672 Share Posted March 24, 2014 My Parents are on NOS right now and we are to join them next week too, so I'm looking for any info on this as well.

Girr Posted March 24, 2014 #1673 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Captain just announced: 1) Roatan is not going to happen, 2) still working with Coast Guard for port opening, and 3) 7 pm is probably the earliest we can leave. Just chilling... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRV FAN Posted March 24, 2014 #1675 Share Posted March 24, 2014 From the Triumph's cam you can see the Magic & the Navigator. Interesting. She appears to be along side a dock... Wonder if they are disembarking there?? Sent from my iPhone using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
