Caribbean Princess still at dock

[RickEk]

That is interesting. I didn't think there was a lot of distance between the two port....but it must be enough :)

 

We enjoyed our day at Maya Chan in April but I guess it is too late for those on board to try to get reservations.

 

Oh, I bet their shore excursion folks are scrambling to provide something for the passengers...:)

Glad to hear the CB is on her way across the Gulf of Mexico. Does the ship pass "close by" any offshore oil rigs? I would love to get some pictures.

When we have taken cruises out of Galveston, the answer is they are visible from the ship, but it will be at night so all you can see are some lights.

Sure hope all is well and everyone is having a blast!

[Pam in CA]

Yes!

 

That's an awesome substitution in my book. Love it there and would bypass Coz any day for Costa Maya. Hope everyone is enjoying the change!

I agree. I've been to Cozumel many times and when I was there last February, it wasn't the same. If I were on an itinerary that stopped there, I might get off the ship to shop but otherwise, Cozumel has become beyond touristy. With the cruise piers built up, the town felt empty and sad. Even Pancho's Backyard was a letdown and not the same as it used to be. I'd much rather go to Costa Maya.

super. Just saw this post. I put my nephew on this cruise for his honeymoon.

Oh well. They are "honeymooners", perhaps they wont notice ;)

 

Maybe its not the wind that's rocking the ship :eek:

We have sailed from Galveston many, many times. On the way out you will see the lights from the rigs, but on the way back the last sea day you will pass many of the deepwater (huge) rigs during daylight hours. DH is in the oil business and for him that last sea day is probably the most interesting day of his cruise. He always takes his binoculars so he gets a good look at the rigs.

I'm not too swift on these things. How do I see the Bridge cam of the ship in port?

Thanks!

Being the board's worst worry wart, I'm stressing about taking our granddaughter and her parents on a cruise over Christmas on this ship.

and now she's on her way to Belize. I guess both Coz and Honduras are being skipped? :confused:

They just want to make sure she's there on Saturday when you are!

looks like it's going to be Costa Maya, Belize.. then Cozumel.

:D

 

I guess if they can squeeze Coz in as a stop on the way back, that will work out, they'll still get three ports.

Yes, that would be nice! :D;)

[whataboutport]

Wow CB still hasn't made port yet? I don't see how there would be time to get back on Sat. if they still do three.

She was in Costa Maya today.

[whataboutport]

Oh got it.

[2Ccruisers]

I'm almost positive the bridge cam stated Bound for Belize last night but now it says Bound for Cozumel. Maybe they are going in circles ;)

[car121]

You're right, I saw it too. Been watching as I'm sailing in January and picked this cruise mainly for the itinerary. I'd be disappointed if we had to skip Belize and Roatan.

On marine traffic they have been going in circles not far (about 12 nmiles) from Belize where the Carnival Glory and Norwegian Dawn and Jewell are tendering. It looks like the Dawn may be leaving so maybe the CB is waiting for the clearing before anchoring and starting tendering.

Me as well. I'll be awfully upset if I don't get to zip in Honduras :eek:

Or snorkel at Maya Key!
