Ipeeinthepools Posted March 13, 2022 #1 Share Posted March 13, 2022 Does anyone have any thoughts about why the Equinox docked at Terminal 25 today? It looked like they had some tugs ready to assist in the docking. I'll bet the folks on the Edge are surprised and not very happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ipeeinthepools Posted March 13, 2022 Author #2 Share Posted March 13, 2022 I'm not sure if it's related but I just heard that there was a pipe break on the Equinox yesterday and there was water coming out of the forward elevators. 🤔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare mac_tlc Posted March 13, 2022 #4 Share Posted March 13, 2022 (edited) Edge is farther down the channel, terminal 29. Equinox looked ok when I watched it pull in on the webcam about 7am. Maybe the tugs were due to the wind? It is unusual, S class usually ends up at 29. mac_tlc Edited March 13, 2022 by mac_tlc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ipeeinthepools Posted March 13, 2022 Author #6 Share Posted March 13, 2022 I hope we can hear something from people onboard the Edge and Equinox. According to the port schedule the Equinox will be moving to Terminal 19 and the Edge to Terminal 25. They aren't scheduled to leave until 10:00 and 10:22 pm tonight.

I wonder why they would move Edge. From what I understand it is Equinox that has the issue and is getting fixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare mac_tlc Posted March 13, 2022 #9 Share Posted March 13, 2022 I think the Equinox would have to move so that the Rotterdam can leave. No idea why Edge is also leaving late. mac_tlc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not an issue. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruising89143 Posted March 13, 2022 #11 Share Posted March 13, 2022 I read that the EQ had mechanical issues. She’s leaving the port now and she has two tugs at her aft. One is pulling and the other pushing. Looks like aft propulsion problems. Edit: Not sure what’s going on. Looks like they may be moving her to another pier but there are passengers on board. Doesn’t look as though she’s leaving right now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if it was due to the last minute terminal change but I read comments on FB about the longer than usual wait times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danceswithphones Posted March 13, 2022 #13 Share Posted March 13, 2022 Wild theory but...why would they move the Edge to T25 unless they were going to load some of the people who should have sailed on the Equinox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The EQ just needed two tugs to move. I assume that it was easier to dock the EQ at terminal 25 than it was to have it try to maneuver down that narrow channel. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would they need to move it to refuel? I would assume if Equinox had been docked there it would have been refueled. It also seems like a very late departure just for refueling. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremiah1212 Posted March 13, 2022 #18 Share Posted March 13, 2022 The port schedule shows Edge leaving T25 at 10:00pm and Equinox leaving T19 at 10:20pm tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sn2792 Posted March 13, 2022 #19 Share Posted March 13, 2022 We are on Equinox, but we didn’t hear the captains announcement so we don’t really know why we are leaving late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Mrs_Tiki Posted March 13, 2022 #20 Share Posted March 13, 2022 We are are on Edge currently. Boarded at terminal 29 and have moved to terminal 25 as of 6:45 pm. Equinox had been at terminal 25 this morning, now moved to 19(not sure)? in any event, very strange machinations, edge is still tied up at almost 7:00.

Jeremiah1212 Posted March 13, 2022 #25 Share Posted March 13, 2022 Wouldn’t be surprised if it was deemed too dangerous to refuel in the narrowing channel near T29, especially as daylight fades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
