Where's the Conquest?

[crsinmo]

Sitting down with my coffee for my normal Sunday ritual of seeing the Conquest in port on live cam. It's not there! Anyone know where she is?

[j.c.in.okc]

It is kinda strange she's not there. Looks kinda foggy there so maybe they are running late.

[BrendaB1]

It is very foggy there. The ship may be docked there but because of the fog, we can't see it. Keep watching. Hopefully the fog will burn off soon.

[Maxax]

Good Grief!!! That is some fog!!! I figure though...that it is THERE...you just can't see it through the fog!!!

[crsinmo]

I have been watching it for awhile. Sometimes it clears up a little. Unless it just pulled in, its not there. I can see the boards lighting up already with posters tonight and tomorrow wanting a free cruise for the delay. LOL

[BrendaB1]

The fog seems to be getting worse. Humidity is 100% right now.

I just checked the webcam. You can just barely see the edge of the pier, and there isn't a ship there. The Conquest must be delayed because of the fog.

Where is the site to go to so that we can view this webcam?

Perhaps they have a policy simular to the airlines regarding weather. It's an act of God!

I just called Carnival customer service. They expect the Conquest to be docking between 11AM and 11:30AM (CST) today. It's still extremely foggy, and the RCCL ship hasn't arrived yet either.

 

It's nice to be able to see her arrive during daylight hours -- I haven't been able to see her perform her 180 in the channel before.

 

Next week at this time, I'll just be getting ready to check out of the Harbor House and head over to the cruise terminal. :D

[jrchvatal]

Here comes somebody.

[R&S]

She is pulling in now! This is the first time I get to see the Conquest arrive.

[brn2crz]

Shes docking now

[Snoozeman]

Coming in now

[brn2crz]

That was fun...

 

But oh can you hear the complaints next week about the embarkation debackle... :D

[crsinmo]

First time I have got to watch her dock on daylight also. Have watched her leave several times in summer when it was light. This morning was a nice scene. :)

Weather delays are not an airline compensated problem. Only mechnical problems with aircraft will qualify.

I would supose that the ship being 6 hours late will cost alot of air travlers(non Carnival) a bunch.

You never know, what makes life an adventure. We have 5:30 air in May and would be sweating that under the same circumstances. 2-3 hours to get off ship, 2 hours to IAH, and security wait.

When I was on the Sensation in 2002, we were fogged out of Tampa bay and arrived about 6 hours late.

 

Our travel insurance covered everything. The cost of rebooking air, hotel for the night and food.

 

This is why you should always have insurance. I never travel without it, I've had to use it too many times, always at the end of the cruise.

Your entirley right.

Last March we were late to Dallas from Ft. Lauderdale and missed our flight due to weather in Florida. Had to stay overnight. Insurance payed all reasonable expenses.

Note: Make sure you save all receipts, flight stubs and document every thing. You will need it when you file a claim.

WOW! Look at her now, in the fog! You can barely see her, even with her lights on. I'm sure her debarkation will not be at 6 since it was several hours late getting in this morning. I guess the Captain will certainly have to use his computerized guiding equipment to get them out to the gulf since they obviously can't see with their eyes!!:eek:

[Live_2_cruise05]

WOW! How beautiful!
