Yesterday the Equinox and Jewel of the Seas kept their props running all day due to wind and ocean currents. Possibly a continuing issue today?

But They started today at the dock and now they moved to the Anchorage seems odd

I've read that occasionally that have to sync up the nav systems with gps and have to hold position for that. No idea how long it would take.

You can see her off in the distance on the webcam.

 

Not sure this is uncommon though. We did nearly the exact same thing on Silhouette last month. We sat nearly still until past sunset (which was gorgeous!)

 

Edit - going back and looking at my sunset photos I took, we sat for nearly an hour.

I have seen in the marine traffic, several cruises stops, at different ANCH ports.

Probably to save fuel... if they have a short jaunt to the next port.

True that.

 

But if you go in and edit your sig, you should be able to have most of the list fall below the line as mine does.

When posting from my desktop, I often choose the “show sig” option. Minor frustration with this app is that there is no such option (at least one that I have found.)

Hopefully all is well.

We were just on the Eclipse and did that a few times.

Sometimes Captain Leo said it was to wait out weather but usually it was because the next port was so close that we had no where to go.

He was very good about making announcements so I'm pretty sure that the passengers know what's going on.

(The timing of your post (5:25 pm) coincides with the 5:00 sail away time for St. Maarten)

I thought you were just bragging a little - nothing wrong with that. :D

Presently on the Eclipse. No problem at all. Just stalling because of such a short distance to today’s port of Antigua. Fantastic cruise! Great crowd, entertainment and food has been excellent.

Have you been to the World Class Bar?

If not do yourself a favor and stop by there!

 

Say hi Nikolai and Marius from Karen and Allan.

 

Also make sure you listen to the Passion Duo.

Really talented pair of young people!

We are on the 2nd day of our overnight in St Maarten on Reflection. Ships in port have been rocking more than I have ever experienced in port. Winds don’t seem extremely high though. Yesterday we were told Allure OTS cancelled the port due to seas. FYI, having a great time on Reflection. Service and MDR food very good and entertainment has been better than some X cruises.
