Where are people going to go if the airports don't open up until Wednesday? I suppose they are going to stay on the ship while in port? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perditax Posted September 11, 2017 #1533 Share Posted September 11, 2017 Damage assessment is underway at Port Everglades. It will reopen following approval from the U.S. Coast Guard. http://www.orlandosentinel.com/weather/hurricane/fl-monday-0911-weather-20170911-story.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
put me on a ship Posted September 11, 2017 #1534 Share Posted September 11, 2017 Reporting from Melbourne: We lost power around 1;30 am. It was a lot worse here than predicted yesterday morning. We started getting bands around 10 am, and it just kept going and going. Our power came back about an hour ago :p We lost a few shingles, and some tore through our screen room. Our lake came dangerously close to flooding some of the homes here, but I don't think any did flood. Our streets turned into rivers. Some people have some fencing down, and our next door neighbor's solar panels for the pool are shredded. Ours are fine (different company). A few small trees and bushes uprooted in the neighborhood. Overall, we were very fortunate. It was scary though, and worse than Matthew last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spleenstomper Posted September 11, 2017 #1536 Share Posted September 11, 2017 I have never seen a link too long for CC. They truncate what is displayed, but if you click on it, it works. But if you copy the link as displayed, the truncated copy will not work when you paste it. Thanks. It screwed up my screen and I couldn't get to the post button!!

perditax Posted September 11, 2017 #1539 Share Posted September 11, 2017 Sorry if this was already shared, photos from Adventure docked at St. Maarten. Is that photo of people walking down the pier a current photo of St Maarten? It looks like people are just calmly returning from shore excursions.

reallyitsmema Posted September 11, 2017 #1540 Share Posted September 11, 2017 Is that photo of people walking down the pier a current photo of St Maarten? It looks like people are just calmly returning from shore excursions. I would say it definitely is a current photo. If you look at it again, people are rolling suitcases down the pier. You wouldn't have a line of people like that with suitcases on a normal port day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakeconmag Posted September 11, 2017 #1541 Share Posted September 11, 2017 Captain just gave us the update. Still planning on arriving tomorrow morning and says we have priority for getting into the port. He says we have to wait for confirmation from Coast Guard. Seas are 12-15ft.

You wouldn't have a line of people like that with suitcases on a normal port day. I guess I wasn't expecting to see so many structures intact. Unfortunately it's very possible I'm mixing up/mis-remembering which islands have received the worst damage. Lots to go around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

capriccio Posted September 11, 2017 #1547 Share Posted September 11, 2017 From the Broward County mayor's recent press conference thanks to the Sun-Sentinel website. AIRPORT: The Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport will open Tuesday at 4 a.m., Sharief (the mayor) said. PORT EVERGLADES: The port, which receives and distributes fuel to 12 counties, is being assessed for damage. I noted that there was no mention in the article about the status of the return of cruise ships to Port Everglades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare BecciBoo Posted September 11, 2017 #1548 Share Posted September 11, 2017 Here is a video (go to the bottom of the article) that shows the devastation.

dandkcruise Posted September 11, 2017 #1549 Share Posted September 11, 2017 I'm supposed to fly in tomorrow (Tuesday) for the Allure now 9/13 departure on Wednesday. I'm bringing my infant daughter, and I just called the Marriott residence Inn and they said still no power and no idea when coming back online. I'm thinking maybe best to just cancel the trip. I don't want to show up and 1. find out I have no room, or 2. have no power with a baby there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
