Hey, what time of before-dawn-morning would one need to be up in order to see the ships return to Port Canaveral??

We're staying at the Radisson the night before our Nov 14 cruise, and I was thinking I'd get up early ('course I'm not an early bird normally) to watch the Wonder come back into port.

Would I be able to see that from the Radisson? Is there some place I could walk to (safely) that early in the morning to watch it??

Hi Susan,

Last August I watched the Magic come sailing up the port channel at 5:15am from my window at the Radisson. We were in room 233(third floor) and had a direct sight of the port. It was MAGICal watching the ship come sailing in. It was still dark out, but the Magic was all lit up.

But Andy,

Looks like you'll soon be there. From the sound of things you and yours could use a little Disney pampering. My thoughts are with you. Rock Shrimp, here you come!!!

Oh dear, getting up at 5AM will require an alarm clock or wake up call .. DH and DD might want to hurt me .. maybe I should have my own room at the Radisson

WHERE'D IT GO!!!!! I was hoping to watch it sail off. My cousin and her family are on the ship and I wanted to say I watched them sail away from Baltimore

Boy, you know I've gone psychotic as the forst thing I do on Saturday morning is turn on the old 'puter and gaze longingly at the Magic as she sits at anchor


I don't believe the Wonder has left yet. Shouldn't pull out for another hour. Although not yet facign the Wonder, the cams are at:

Port:

Good Luck on the Wonder watching!!

Well, geez, tell 'em to move that port cam back so that it IS pointing at the Wonder!! :lol

How long after leaving Port C does the ship pass the Two Palms cam??

 

[seastar]

Thanks for the picture, Andy!!!

We just got off the Wonder this morning after a fantastic 4-night cruise. The ship sure is beautiful and the weather was perfect the entire cruise.

If the ship leaves on time, it will usually pass the two palms cam between 5:20 and 5:40 eastern time.

I figured out that the Two Palms cam is near the end of the channel, right before the ship turns right to head south. Usually at sailing time, they point the regular cam down the channel, so you can watch the ships leave.
