Thanks Mary. I hope the Navigator gets in on Tuesday without any fog.

Kathy and I are thinking of maybe coming down to see the Nav on Wednesday. Will you guys be around?

 

Sure - stay the night, either Tuesday or Wednesday. We can do Happy hour at the pier:)

Looked at pier cam and see Magic still there. Wondered what happened while we were off adopting another dog. Worst of the weather gone just cold now. Oh well better than ice and snow.

I checked it around 11:30 and they were gone! I thought the original time of departure at 8:30 p.m. was a little ambitious. It was definitely very cold and windy last night down here. At least the pax weren't missing much by not being outside on the deck...too chilly!

The Magic blew her horn a little after 10pm. We can here them at our home as we are near the pier:)

I saw Magic sailing out on the Emerald Cam at about 11:00.

I'd consider a condo in the Strand area if we don't end up finding house we want on Tiki.

 

I looked at cam again around midnight and they were off. Marine traffic is a good double check as well. Fun to see some pleasure craft that light it up.

You could really hear the stacks blow downtown from a condo!

I bet. Only watched Voyager and one CCL ship sail from pier side. Usually I'm aboard at sail time.

It's 5am and rainy here in Austin, TX, but my lame self is excited (now that I'm awake) that the Navigator is due in very soon! Whoo! I'm watching the cams now! Can't wait to be on her April 6th! :D

I remember that...Dylan was there that day, wasn't he? I have pictures of you on the pier by Harbor House.

[shmthaus]

vessel finder dot com shows her coming into the bay at 6:18am, but can't see anything on the cams.

[Cindy]

I can't see anything either. I keep thinking I should be able to see the ship on the Harbor Cam, but it's a blurry mess.

[ARCruisinNana]

I can see her on the Harbor cam.

[shmthaus]

I see a blob with lights on the Harbor cam.

[BecciBoo]

Ahoy!

 

Full view on the Strand cam Shes backing in.

I finally saw her on the Harbor Cam and then the Pier 23 Cam. I felt like I needed a lens cleaning!:rolleyes:

[krazy4kruisin]

Serious Bummer. I can't see her :-(

[SRV FAN]

The only cam that would show her docked is the "cruise" cam & its pointed down to a deck or something!! I'd go over there.... But its COLD & raining!! Bummer!!!

Just saw this on another thread....

 

The weekly newspaper Caribbean Business (vol. 43 no. 3, p. 23) mentions in a broader article about tourism that RCI will be replacing the Jewel with the Navigator year round out of San Juan beginning May 2015.

[megr1125]

I can see her on the Emerald cam....really foggy...eek. Saw her being floated out of the drydock in Freeport the other day...it was cool seeing the azipods!!

Emerald Cam | posted 1 hour ago

Update on the Cruise Cam: a broken part was found and may take a few days to come in so that it can be fixed. Sorry

 

 

Emerald Cam | posted 1 hour ago

Well look who is back all ready to take cruises out of Galveston, fresh from her drydock, Navigator of the Seas. Hope we get better views of her if the weather clears later this morning.

 

Hey, I'm not complaining since I watch those things for free. Glad they care and are going to get them fixed, even if it takes a few days. Things happen! Lol.
