Barb Nahoumi Posted May 31, 2015 #1 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Been watching the port of Bermuda web Cam, and the Dawn is nowhere in sight yet. When I checked the bridge cam, it shows her going through a rain storm. I hope that all is well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare 1025cruise Posted May 31, 2015 #3 Share Posted May 31, 2015 She had to return to Boston on Friday for a medical evac. Due to the fog, she didn't get underway until early Saturday morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare mking8288 Posted May 31, 2015 #7 Share Posted May 31, 2015 (edited) Marine traffic and AIS tracking site have updated info yesterday, showing her ETA at Bermuda to be around 6 PM local/Atlantic time this evening (UTC time clock used) - she has been going near 21 knots (typically sailed slower at 17 to 18 knots) to make up for the lost time in returning to BOS for a medical stop (as the nearest port) due to fog. (Will have to check that high tide table closely & make sure it is escorted by pilot boat) Just looked at her webcam - it surely looked like rain & probably some light chops. It's a bummer - but safety first - many things on the island closed down even earlier on Sunday, if they are open at all - and if I recall, the buses & ferries already on a reduced schedule will basically be in pre-shut down mode - shore excursion cancelled for the day. They can extend or delay their return to BOS by a day but will have to inform the Breakaway to anchor & tender their pax to shore, like what they did when the Dawn temporary lost steering/power & hit the coral reef.

Rare mking8288 Posted May 31, 2015 #10 Share Posted May 31, 2015 (edited) Ship just came within range of AIS/marinetraffic radar tracking a short while ago, ETA showing 19:00 UTC - less than 2 hours - running about 7/8 speed at 19.4 knots - St. George/north shores of Bermuda islands should be coming in view soon, then it needs to slow down to carefully navigate the coral channel to get to Dockyard with the pilot boarding to assist. Seas looked to be 6' to 8' or less, was closer to 10' to 12' early with some chops, nothing to be worried about, for us. Clip on Live Map #26 & zoom in to find her - http://www.marinetraffic.com/en/ais/home/oldshipid:374588/oldmmsi:311307000/olddate:2015-05-31%2019%3A00%3A35/zoom:9 Just about in time for a sunset (cloudy ?) but at least out of the bands of rain & shower earlier in the day. :cool: ;) Edited May 31, 2015 by mking8288 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biker@sea Posted May 31, 2015 #11 Share Posted May 31, 2015 (edited) Will Dawn stay late ( Wednesday morning ) to make up for the day lost ? Edited May 31, 2015 by biker@sea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moonieelf Posted May 31, 2015 #12 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Will Dawn stay late ( Wendsday morning ) to make up for the day lost ? Most likely no. Other lines would need the port, and it could mean that they're late getting to Boston for the next cruise. Because it was a medical emergency that caused the delay, I don't think passengers will see any form of a refund (unless they missed a shore excursion.)

Rare mking8288 Posted May 31, 2015 #13 Share Posted May 31, 2015 (edited) Pax on the Dawn are now in sight of St. George's & rest of island, still running at over 19 knots and should be slowing down & making the turn to sail parallel, across the coral reef channel - perhaps another hour before getting into Heritage Wharf to dock for arrival. [Edit - slowed to under 16 knots & turned ... start waving to those on land, port side] What to do, checked - Sunday - the last SeaExpress is at 6 PM and similar schedule for the buses, so it's either staying on board or explore what's open at Dockyard ... aside from restaurants, I don't think anything else is open. As for staying an extra night, they can make up the lost time but the Summit is scheduled to be at the Wharf on Wednesday & the Breakaway is following her into Dockyard, so one of the NCL ship will need to tender if the Dawn is going to stay - maybe, they will sail at 6:30 AM on Wednesday in time to clear the berth for her bigger sibling ?

Cruzinnana47 Posted May 31, 2015 #18 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Dawn is at the dock now--should just be a short while until docked. Looks like a nice evening there....sure the pax are anxious to get onto the lovely island of Bermuda--better late than never...:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish that PTZ TV, would set up a webcam in Boston. Unfortunately we do not have a busy enough port to warrant a year round port webcam. The fall months of September and October we have a ton of ship visits but the rest of the year the port is empty minus our seasonal NCL ship. :cool: (And now HAL for a short time.)

hawkeyetlse Posted June 3, 2015 #25 Share Posted June 3, 2015 They will be leaving Bermuda weds am 6 amSo it sounds like the passengers actually got extra time in port (including two full weekdays, and three evenings/late nights). Glad NCL was able to do that for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
