Queen Victoria at Port Canaveral today!

[SteerageJoe]

At terminal B1 for an overnight!

 

If you are one of the lucky souls on this grand ship, here is a list of things to do during your visit to the Canaveral area!

Nice photo!

 

Did they arrive early because the sea-scanner website says the QV is not due in for another 14 hours?

Yes, by 11am she was already docked. I saw two ambulances ship side (you can see one in the photo)- maybe someone got ill and the captain decided to rush things. She was listed to arrive at 1pm today.

Carnival Sensation departed earlier and passed by Victoria.. Many Victoria passengers were at the Kennedy Space Center today - I had not been there for many years - its a great visit. Just waiting for Victoria to pass by Melbourne on her way to FLL.

Looks as if she is just sailing past Cocoa Beach.

Edit: That was good fun. Lots of horn blowing and the camera zoomed right in to some of the passengers.

Got off of QV in Port Canaveral on Thursday morning. We were docked by 10:30 on Wednesday, a whole day early. Because QV hadn't been in US waters in the last 90 days and the crew certified by USCG, there were a bunch of inspections that needed to be conducted. These were going to take a lot of time, so we made best possible speed from Ponta Delgada.

 

Passengers and crew were processed by Immigration Control on Wednesday afternoon. 22 of us planned to leave the ship in Port Canaveral. Still, we couldn't go through customs until Thursday morning until 10 a.m. when US Customs showed up. It was nice that everyone else got an extra day in port.

 

Rough crossing. I was sick on two different occasions even though I had taken every possible precaution including prescription medications. The Bay of Biscay lived up to it's reputation. Then, the following seas caused by the hurricane in Ponta Delgada made for a continuous rough ride.

 

I was very happy to see the coastline of Florida. I knew we were in trouble when Captain Philpott said on the PA as we left Southampton that the QV "was a stout built ship and there should be no worries." It was rough. I'm off cruising for a while.
