Best analysis / rundown is from "What is going on with shipping" on YouTube: https://youtu.be/qZbUXewlQDk?si=BF2d3pgIghbyE5zT

This is tragic. The first video I saw clearly showed the ship losing electrical power twice. But it looked to me like she was already not in the channel. I suspect the cascade of events goes back before the power outages seen on the bridge webcam. It's a nightmare scenario for everyone involved. There will likely be pressure to clear the debris and open the channel as quickly as possible. I hope they don't do that until they've recovered every person possible. Their families deserve that.

Alaskan RR GoldStar vs Royal Caribbean Anchorage to Seward
markinct replied to Avatar133's topic in Shore Excursions
We did the gold star service in 2022. It was utterly fabulous. The rear of the car had an observation area that was open to the outside air. The views were fantastic and we met some interesting people. The staff on the train were informative in a very friendly way. There's a service called Orange Bike Delivery in Seward. They can take your bags from the cruise port to the train. It's a family run business that took very good care of us (and our mountain of baggage!) The hauled our stuff from the port to a hotel we spent the night at, then picked up from the hotel and delivered to the train station. https://www.orangebikedelivery.com/luggage.html -
I hope you can enjoy your cruise vacation on Icon - and have a swift and uneventful treatment and recovery!!

I just want to take a moment to acknowledge the fact that you have THE BEST message board handle. EVER.

I'll be there on Saint Patrick's Day.... or at least scheduled to be there. If we call at Labadee I will go to the beach without a worry. If we divert to a different port or have an extra sea day, well, that's cruising, isn't it? Like the weather, strife is beyond our control. I feel badly for the regular people of Haiti. As @Zacharius has pointed out, their "government" has been a shambles for a long time. And when it wasn't a shambles it seems the only thing it was ever good at was terrorizing its own people.

Royal Caribbean Orders Oasis Class #7
markinct replied to Plumlee2028's topic in Royal Caribbean News and Rumors
That, too, would be ... euphonic! But if this ship is destined for the Asia market as some have guessed, I wonder if that would make Melody a better name? I am fantastically ignorant of Asian branding sensibilities. -

I hope you post a travel report! The Mountaineer is a 'bucket list' trip for me. I also want to do a few Amtrak long hauls - from NY to Chicago, then onto the Texas Eagle or the Southwest Chief.... then on to the Coast Starlight....
