Howasaur Posted March 6, 2015 #1 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Just thought I would mention we missed port of Call Georgetown Cayman Islands on January 29. This was a Tender port and water was to ruff foe a safe Tendering, On Feb. 23 we were to Dock at Fortaleza but the seas were to ruff so after six Tries the announement that we will be unable to dock Safty reasons. Our last port of call was Salvador de Bahia Brazil on Feb. 20th so a total of 6 day on the ship until next port of call Santarem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PathfinderEss Posted March 6, 2015 #3 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Sorry about your missed ports. Grand Cayman is always a tricky port. I would say we are dead even on making it in and not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sammiedawg Posted March 6, 2015 #5 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Fortaleza is the lousiest port we ever visited. The dock area was dirty and unkept which foreshadowed a dirty run down central city. We took the free Oceania shuttle in and caught the next shuttle back to the ship. Amazingly some World Cup matches were played there. I believe there is an area of modern beach hotels. We loved Salvador, so much Folklore history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMLincoln Posted March 6, 2015 #6 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Also missed Fortaleza due to rough seas on our 'round the Horn cruise a few years ago. A ship trying to dock ahead of us pulled out the pier tie-up... you know those huge steel blobs that they tie the giant ropes to? Yep, tore it clean off. We tied up just long enough to disembark a medical case and then quickly cast off for a lovely sea day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
