Dobby_The_Ship_Elf Posted November 21, 2022 #1 Share Posted November 21, 2022 Heard from a friend on board that one of the OTPs gangways was damaged due to high winds when the Carnival Splendor berthed today. Be interesting to see if there is a flow on affect for boarding and departure on time ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
windsor26 Posted November 21, 2022 #2 Share Posted November 21, 2022 That is worrying news for all the other ships that need to berth in these huge winds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All a storm in a tea cup apparently (literally) Where is the teacup at the OPT ? 🤔🤔🤔 😁😁😁 We had a similar problem the other day with the Eclipse. The gangway is controlled and adjusts automatically by sensors and the unusually strong, blustery winds seemed to cause it to continually reset Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh well, as long as the bars are open.... A short while ago, a small boat was very very close to the ship. It looked like a tug, but perhaps it wasn't... 🤷🏻♂️ Edited November 21, 2022 by buchhalm New information.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
