Royal Caribbean ship just appeared on the webcam! It's running late, as was supposed to be in port by 9 AM.
Disappointing so far, when I have watched some ships come in before, they zoomed in the camera, as it was going by the Divi, and when the harbor pilot came onboard, and they haven't done that so far today.

On the Port St Maarten website, it says 9 AM, so I guess it's wrong??

It's often wrong. The Independence is always due at 10 AM. I get to sleep late!

So, according to the port website, she is supposed to leave at 7. Does that mean she leaves at 8?? <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Smile.gif" alt="" />

So Bob, considering your comment about sleeping late, can we assume that you are a harbor pilot? If so, how cool!
Respects, BobD

I think it leaves at 7. All on board was 6:30. The port schedule is very unreliable.

No, but I run excursions and cruise ship passengers are 50% of our business. On a day with just one ship arriving at 10, my check in is at 10:;30 instead of 9:30 so I have an extra hour before meeting the clients.

They were heading out about 7:15, so I guess it is 7:00..

I only go by what my passengers tell me and they said all on board was 6:30. Usually all on board is 30 minutes before departure. In my business you have to make sure you know the schedule.

I printed Oct cruise ship schedule Oct 6th & it said the independence ship yesterday was due at 10am but online yesterday it said 9 am. Not sure why they changed it because it wasn't there at 9. Hmmm. I guess its the same as the centre line on the roads, a suggestion. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" />

Should be fun watching them all leave also! . I would love to be at a table at the Hideaway at LaVista watching 4 lighted ships go out in the dark. Just beautiful.

Are you talking about you are IN SXM and can't see it?? As I had the port webcam up just a minute ago to check it and saw it just fine.

I also cannot see it. I get the message "If you are seeing this message, our service may be temporarily unavailable at your location". That's on Long Island.

Unfortunately not all visitors read the local newspapers. Even some who do, will not follow warnings and continue to do as they want.

Especially since most of those folks I'm sure are off the ships, which almost none of those people read the newspaper.

Wouldn't you think the vendors that are renting those chairs would have a conscience to warn those people? Money must be more important than good will.

I guess if the health department wanted to be diligent, they could post signs along the beach regarding this.

Perhaps its a subscription service that came with the camera technology where one person somewhere in the world is controlling a bunch of cams (spread anywhere in the world). Exactly. PTZv's website says the company is based in Ft Lauderdale. They pre research, visit & evaluate potential mounting sites. They install the equipment and they manage the cameras not a local person.

Maybe the ban was lifted. Last week when they had it the venders did not put out their chairs and umbrellas and except for the extreme eastern end of the beach no one was in the water. I made a post about it back then along with a Canadian visit story.

No, there was a new advice against swimming in Great Bay posted in the paper this morning, based on the release of water from the Salt Pond yesterday.

Looks like it's going to be a busy day on the island today. It's 7:30 in the morning and there are already three ships in town. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" />
And now there are four. What a pretty sight that is....... Glad I'm not trying to navigate in town today and I'm willing to bet midday at SSB&G will be crazy.
