Navigator's looking awfully pretty on the Cruise Cam tonight! If you look closely, you can also see what looks like an oil boom protecting the hull.:eek:

Where did this come from? Were you here to take this?

 

I am really pissed if this was from you because we have been at pier 21 drinking martinis ($3) and you could have been with us:D

 

We are always here - please join us:)

At Pier 21 from 4pm to 7pm:

A container ship passed us on the channel, coast guard following; did not observe any boats with spray to wash down other vessels, but we were at the port, not near that channel.

Just glad to see movement at the port and hope that containment will be effective along our coast.

 

Kudos to RCCL and all who hung in there knowing a vacation is what YOU make of it?

We were making it just fine, but now we are even better.

Awesome news that the Navigator will sail tomorrow! Royal Caribbean ROCKS for making this call! A "FREE" (albeit short) cruise is so awesome for those that hung in there............... I'm sure some are kicking themselves for bailing out early! Y'all have fun!! :D

So glad yall are getting to still go to Cozumel and it's free plus the extra 25% off the next cruise; great deal. I'm so happy that there were folks on board that weren't going to let this ruin their vacation.

Does anyone know what is going on with the tanker and the ship that hit it? Is the tanker still partially submerged... or did they move it? Is there any chance of any of the other cells leaking? I'm hoping that is all under control and the ships that have gone out and the Navigator leaving will get back in on schedule?? Just a thought... hope it is all good... but just curious.

The casino has been closed the entire time we have been on board.

also limited alcohol has been available due to texas law

 

Thanks.

 

Hopefully the drink limitations have been more about variety than quantity:eek:

First of all, there was no tanker involved.

A bunker oil barge was being towed and hit a bulk carrier.

A tank was ruptured on the barge and approximately 168,000 gallons of bunker oil spilled. Neither the ship or the barge sunk.

Thanks for the info... so have both the ship and the barge been removed from the area? We aren't getting much news here in Florida about this... and just hoping clean up is going well and there isn't a chance of further loss. No port deserves the 'bad luck' that has hit Galveston!!

Both have been removed; Galveston and Houston ports are open but with limitations.

Thank you for your concern.
