Pearl - Live Loud

[frostywolf]

Anyone that is going on the Pearl today should take their time getting to the port. Customs has halted debarkation of our ship, evacuated the terminal and called in fire, police and it looks like hazmat teams. They shuffled all the porters across to the next terminal. This was done during early walk-off so lots of people still on board. They told us we could go back to our cabins if we wanted.

That doesn't sound good, hope they get the issue straightened quickly

[roger001]

Any idea the reason?

[frostywolf]

No idea. They've cleared a few of the parking lots now and a helicopter is hovering. We didn't even have a port stop other than GSC so it isnt like anyone could have picked up something elsewhere.

"Unknown Substance Causes Evacuation at Port Miami"...

 

I think that is what my Doctor called my "coughed up gunk" last week.

I don't writes them, I just reads them. (or in this case copies them)

Someone was escorted off the ship by police according to a friend. And Homeland Security came on board.

The 2 things may not be linked at all. We had someone escorted off of our ship by police in Boston. That may be just coincidental.

Okay, I will start a rumor. Somebody was throwing their drugs to the pier to avoid customs. Package broke open and white powder was strewn about.

 

Oops!

Ha! Still in a hold in pattern so some of the artists (this was a music charter) started playing in the Atrium. I'm just enjoying more coffee.

If I had to be held up somewhere, I could really think of a lot worse places to be than a cruise ship and especially a music charter.

 

Enjoy your coffee and the entertainment including the drama unfolding just off the ship.

If I was on a ship in a bad situation and the band started playing... I would feel like the Titanic in the sinking scene and the band played on.

 

Hope you get off soon.

I'm glad I'm not the only one that got that vision. ;)

"Old Compass Emitting Radiation Causes Evacuation at Port Miami".

 

Odd was someone afraid of the captain getting lost and decided they needed to bring their own compass? :confused:

I'm staying on for Live Loud, just frustrated we have to wait to get the UBP until this clears.

My original plan was to stay on but I was also on Sail Across The Sun and just couldn't swing more time off.

Are you sure it was " Compass " and not "Biscuit " ?

Well I'm now a little ticked with all my online CC friends.

 

I've read the numerous packing lists that people have submitted. You know the ones that have the over the door shoe holder, the duct tape, ziplock bags. Now, I'm an overpacker by nature so I've tried to bring as many of those things as possible. And not one list that I recall told me to bring a compass. Now I feel very let down that there was something I've missed that I may have needed. :(

 

DH is going to be so relieved :eek: when I inform him that there is something else that I must put in my luggage (just in case...). :D

Port is reopen now

To be sure--the compass you pack for your next cruise must be radioactive. It can't be a simple, common boy scout-class compass. :)

That compass would be a hit at the Glow Party on my Getaway cruise. I wonder if I can borrow it.

:( I guess you are telling me now, after I just requested it, that I have to give my grandson back his 'run of the mill' cub scout compass back, that it will do me no good? ;)

Nah, give it to DH so he can feel included.:)
