I was just curious if anyone has experienced this - when we were coming home the last night of our eastern Fantasy cruise, the horn started blowing in 5-10 minute intervals at 4am and lasted so long that we really never got back to sleep. We didn't pull into port until after 530am. It seemed that the horn (we assumed for fog) started blowing a long way off the coast. There was a pause somewhere in there, and then began again when we were closer to port. Anyone with maritime experience have an explanation? Is that routinely done for fog?
We joked that they really wanted everyone off the ship extra early so they woke us up on purpose. It felt a bit unsettling, like there was an impending crash coming or a ship that would not get out of the way. Needless to say, the whole family was extra moody and tired with disembarkation day starting at 4am...
