Has The Carribean Princess Left Port Yet?

5:30 PM and the webcam still shows her to be at the dock. Doesn't look like it is foggy.

That's what I was thinking too?

Obviously has not left yet and time for the bridge cam is current.

 

The ship channel is open.

 

Departure could be delayed for a number of reasons. For example:

a) Extra cleaning before passengers were allowed to board.

b) Waiting for supplies to be loadfed

c) Waiting for late busses from IAH or HOU

 

Only someone onboard can tell us if one of these or something else is the reason.

We just got off the CB this morning around 10:00 am in Bayport. The ship docked a little before 12 last night, we watched it. The Captain announced late yesterday afternoon that they were hurrying back because the pilots were expecting fog. The casino shut down at 7:00 pm. On Monday after our excursion in Cozumel, the Captain announced that some passengers had come down with the virus. So, they started handing you everything at the meals. He said a couple days later that it had gotten better, but precautions were still be taken. The crew were continually wiping down everything with a bleach mixture. They stressed using the bathrooms in your cabin and washing your hands thoroughly. It never effected us, but one Lady told me her daughter had diarrhea and called medical (911 as directed by the Captain), and got quarantined to her cabin for 72 hours.

Web cam (showing total darkness) still says docked in Houston.

On VT she shows at international waters line off Texas coast headed SE towards Cozumel.

Not sure what VT is, but is it saying "actual" or "estimated" position?

 

For example, sea scanner says the ship departed at 4 PM and is well into the Gulf of Mexico. But it says it is the "scheduled" position. But we know the ship was still at Bayport as sunset neared around 6:30 PM.

VT is vessel tracker. Shows actual position.

According to Marine Traffic, looks like she left about 7:00pm CST.

I bet that is when she cast off. It was a bit after that where I could she she was away on web cam. Three hours late isn't too bad to make up on way to Cozumel.
