My Disney
Cruise Obsession
Several months ago I stumbled upon a
fun Facebook page. This crazy Facebook page actually had a list of all the
cruise ships pulling out of Port Canaveral! Of course listed among the ships
are ships of the Disney Cruise Line.
Along with the list of the cruise
ship sail awat times was a link. This link was to the Port Canaveral WebCam
website! When I saw that Disney Dream listed as sailing away one day I decided
to sit down and click that link. Much to my surprise and pleasure I was taken
to their very good WebCam live feed was able to watch the Dream sail out of
port. It was lots of fun watching the ship and seeing the happy travelers
waiting ship sailed out of port.
When I first started watching the
Port Canaveral WebCam it had no audio. I longed to hear the fog horns of the Disney
Cruise ships play. At first I did not watch the WebCam very often because it
was no audio. Then audio was added to the feed! Not only can you watch the
ships you can hear the mighty horns blow!
Now I try my best to watch the
Disney Cruise Ships pull out of Port Canaveral every Thursday, Saturday and
Sunday. The Dream sails out of Port Canaveral every Thursday and Sunday at 5 PM
EST. The Fantasy pulls out of Port Canaveral every Saturday at 5 PM EST. You
should always turn the WebCam on early as sometimes they to pull out as much as
20 minutes early.
Sadly, these great ships do not blow
their mighty horns every time they sail past the WebCam. When they do it is a
special treat! Listening to the Disney Cruise Ships fog horns play any of their
selections of songs is mesmerizing. It is fun to go in early and watch one of
the Carnival Ships pull out just before the Disney Ship. It is humorous to hear
the difference between the two ships fog horns.
In general the bigger the ship the
deeper and louder the foghorn. Most of the other ships sailing out of Port
Canaveral are bigger than the Disney Ships. When the standard foghorn sounds
off it sounds like a great flatulent beast. When the Disney Ships sail out and
blow their foghorn a place in memorable music that we all know and love.
The Port Canaveral WebCam is housed
at the Fishlips Waterfront Bar and Grill. While you are waiting for the ships
to sail you can listen to the music and the customers chatting in Fishlips. As
the ship passes Fishlips you can hear the Sail Away Party on the deck of the
Disney Ship. That is how close Fishlips is to the water.

So no matter what cruise line you
are sailing on out of Port Canaveral you can tell your friends to go to the
Port Canaveral WebCam and watch you sail away. All you need to do is stand on
the port side of the ship and wave at Fishlips as you sail by. You can even purchase
a downloadable copy of the video of your sail away from Fishlips.
You can check the links on the Port
Canaveral WebCam website for links to other ports WebCams. They have New York Harbor
and Key West Florida as well just to name two. I will say that the Port
Canaveral WebCam is the best of them because it follows the ships and has audio
unlike most of the others.
So I must say thank you to the Port
Canaveral WebCam and to Fishlips Waterfront Bar and Grill for providing me with
such fun entertainment for a few minutes three times a week.
