Port Cams Never Pans Left

[Hendlaw]

I used to love to get onto http://www.portcanaveralwebcam.com/ and watch the Disney Boats in port but it has been months since I have seen the cam panned left toward the Disney Dock. I wonder why that is and what caused the change?

There is a ship docked in between the camera and the Disney dock. It is the Victory II, came from Jacksonville I think, is a gambling ship and is just docked. If you happen to watch just as the Disney ship leaves, the camera will pan left, you can see the "smoke" stacks of Disney, then it will appear almost directed across from the camera

Literally just zoomed in on the smoke stacks
It is hard with the angle to see past the gambling ship but it is possible (as soon as PP replied the camera zoomed in)

here it comes

when it gets a little further down the channel, a "work" ship is messing up the view

Yep ... VICTORY II is blocking the view for now ... occasionally the cam does pan and you get to see a close up of the boat. I guess Jax couldn't provide enuf folks willing to burn money and the long term parking in PC must cost less! Unless fishlips wants to build a tower to raise the camera, or the webcam folks find a taller place willing to host .... I don't see things getting better 'less VICTORY II finds a new place to start operating from ....

here's DCL leaving right now ....

you are looking over the top deck of VICTORY II

btw .. the camera sits MUCH higher than the second floor deck of Fishlips .... so if you go there to eat and are expecting to see the ships leave ... right now 50% of your view is the side of VICTORY II

I'm actually watching people go down the Aquaduck... it zoomed in super close

 

[gary in florida]

it'll get better, once it gets past the Vicorty, then you can see the slides

people on deck with signs

If I'm not mistaken, the Victory ships have been and are being refurbished. Neither is going to operate from Port Canaveral. Their Cuba cruises will depart from Miami.

the work ship was there earlier! maybe
a different angle

Victory I goes out of PC every day

Victory I goes out of PC every day

No idea why.

Marine Traffic indicates that Victory I is just going out and coming right back, once or twice a day, and not in a consistent way, so perhaps they're running sea trials? Victory II has been stationary for a few days at least, and I haven't seen it move for weeks.

This is the correct cruise line

Okay so that explains the out and back for Victory I. I didn't see any indication when Victory II might start moving.

The ship totally messes up the view when dining at FishLips

 

[kittymamma]

It is too bad ..... except for Victory II and company that gets a LOT of free advertising from Fishlips . I have noticed since the casino boat has been parked there , the viewership has diminished and I am included in that count. No more fun to watch during the day to see Disney , in particular , or anything on that end of the channel . Glad I'm not paying for Premium access.

Maybe we can get Royal Caribbean to help "to move the Victory II" - since they dusted a Carnival ship earlier this year

I am kinda surprised I didn't see anything about this back when "it happened / was reported"

The Marine Traffic site shows the Victory 2 out at sea (well, as of 18 hours ago). Has anyone check the port cam to see the Dream in there? Looks like the Fantasy is very close.

The Dream is still docked at terminal 8.
