YIKES!! That is really socked in.

We just drove by there coming from Galveston back to our hotel in La Porte. The fog was so thick you could hardly make out the exit signs to the terminal.

You really have to wonder whether the Norwegian Cruises ship that was supposed to be there today is, instead, sitting out in the Gulf.

I am on tomorrow's (3/30/16) sailing. Princess just sent this Emergency Notification email:

 

POTENTIAL FOR DELAYED EMBARKATION

Please be advised that weather forecasts predict heavy fog for the Houston area tomorrow, which may delay Caribbean Princess' arrival and embarkation for your cruise.

 

Guests who reside locally or have ground transportation arrangements should call 866-246-6761 tomorrow morning at approximately 8:00 AM local (Houston) time for an update on the ship's progress before departing for the pier. If a delay is confirmed, the message will include revised check-in times.

 

Guests traveling to Houston via air should continue with their scheduled plans. Upon arrival at the airport, Princess Representatives will provide further updates. Guests on Cruise Plus Hotel Packages will receive instructions at their hotel. In the event of a delay, please be aware that there will be limited seating inside the terminal and guests may still be disembarking. As a result, the terminal will be closed until check-in begins at the revised times.

 

The captain announced the port of Houston is currently closed for fog. He will update us as he has more information. We booked a late flight for this reason so we will see what happens tonight

This is from a "Live from" thread about the fog related delays & the port currently being closed. :(

Checking the Marine Traffic website the Caribbean Princess is the only cruise ship anywhere near Houston & is currently sailing at 20.7kn.

No, it is near Belize heading to Roatan.

Looks clear. Anyone know the status of Caribbean Princess?

[Hoosier-Cruiser]

Looking at the webcam, she's pulling alongside now.
