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.

Independence of the Seas is scheduled for a 10 Am arrival.

Watching it come in now <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/dine.gif" alt="" />

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!

OK! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Smile.gif" alt="" />

Watch out! I'm a fact checker! LOL

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 would love to see this but cant anyone else having trouble I'm on Windows 8.1

Live cam looks good to me <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Thumbsup.gif" alt="" />

are you using adblock by any chance? I had to disable adblock for the site in order to see the cam

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="" />

. I would love to be at a table at the Hideaway at LaVista watching 4 lighted ships go out in the dark. Just beautiful.

That certainly gives me an idea for my trip in March!!! Thanks!

We enjoy that view many evenings, from our balcony at La Vista Beach.

We do as well.

Anyone have trouble viewing the camera from SXM? Haven't been able to get it for a few days <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/duh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/dine.gif" alt="" />

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 can see it with no problem.

Works good outside of Brick NJ! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" />

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.

I just got that message also. Maybe it is temporarily down.

Just came up after a very long delay.

Lots of swimmers in the water after they warned against swimming in Great Bay in the paper today. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/duh.gif" alt="" />

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.

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.

Nice closeup now of the cruise ships in port - haven't seen the closeup used before. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Thumbsup.gif" alt="" />

I wish they would pan out. It looks like a great sunset

Beautiful picture of the Carnival ship leaving now, although it is a bit dark.

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.
