Rare Jim_Iain Posted December 20, 2019 #3 Share Posted December 20, 2019 (edited) Ouch - I hope that the passenger injured isn't hut too bad. The article said one passenger hurt while evacuating the dining room. Edited December 20, 2019 by Jim_Iain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare WrittenOnYourHeart Posted December 20, 2019 #10 Share Posted December 20, 2019 (edited) Eek! Just looked at the port schedule for when I'm there on the Edge on 2/20. Eight ships due in that day. Fingers crossed for light (or no) winds!! (On the plus side, we're the first scheduled in...but that puts us in when all the others come in) Edited December 20, 2019 by WrittenOnYourHeart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To many overall with the crowds etc. Im glad the cruise I go on next year does not have it. I am on Nov 23 Reflection 2020 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenix_dream Posted December 20, 2019 #12 Share Posted December 20, 2019 Unfortunately more and more and bigger and bigger ships are crowding the ports that were just never built to handle that many or that large. It's lucky this time there was only a minor injury. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went with Climb the Coba Pyramid and Cenote Swim laregly because according to CruisePortInsider, only Celebrity and Royal offer this particular one and with those two lines there are only 3 ships - with the second (Brilliance) not even due in until after my excursion has left.

Just imagine how much fun a Caribbean port will be when one of those docks either side of you! Edited December 20, 2019 by Moby Jones 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunmore2 Posted December 20, 2019 #20 Share Posted December 20, 2019 We’re on holiday on the mainland near Playa del Carmen and it’s windier than usual today. Eight ships is a lot in any port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This time she made it. When at first you don't succeed ….. Edited December 20, 2019 by ipeeinthepool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure where you saw that she was underway, but marinetraffic is usually correct. Doesn't matter....if she does sail, hopefully someone other than Carnival will approve moving the ship with passengers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
