Love having four sail-away days in a row and a "Love Boat" thrown in as a bonus! Looking forward to it.

It looks like two more ships will be in port: Silver Wind and Emerald Princess.

With a schedules 12:30 PM departure for the Emerald Princess, it looks she is going into dry dock in Freeport, Bahamas; next cruise is Dec 14.

My second favorite HAL ship. I will be here. Thanks for the reminder.

Thanks for the reminder.

We will be waving to you all from our balcony on board. Waving the Canadian flag!

She is running a little bit late. No pilot yet and is a few kilometers off shore. Last in line...

Weather forecast is for 78 degrees and 28% chance of rain. Winds are only 10 mph from the east.

Looking forward to feeding my addiction this afternoon.

Zuiderdam backing in this morning in a small shower. Few hours and we head over to the port! Wish everyone was coming with us on this Dam ship LOL

[Disclaimer: if I am up early and the computer is on, I take a peek at the port cams too]

It's pretty packed in port today. I was just over at the Walgreens drug store at Eisenhower Bld & SE 17th Street, which is by the eastern entrance to Port Everglades. It was packed with cruise people.

Weird weather today. It was sunny early, then it rained. Then it was overcast. Then it cleared up. Now it's foggy. That's a lot of weather considering it's not even 10 AM.

Thanks! I'm sure we will. We learned lots from your recent thread while you did the same itinerary. Cheers

Have a great trip! Will you be standing somewhere we can see you? And, of course, will you be holding a Canadian flag? :)

We will be on our balcony and waving the flag and looking for you guys! 8 balconies rear of the glass elevators on deck 6

ZUDM commencing new pax embarkation at 1145

I hope to be here, we have a few errands to run this morning, then DD said she wanted to FaceTime us later to show us her new home in Gander. She said she talked to Air Force One the other day. Very exciting.

So if I disappear for a while it'll be because we're having the house tour.:)

Not very pretty today in FLL but I will take 77 degrees over 42 (currently at RIC) any day.

Off to swim at the Y and do a couple of errands. Probably will miss Emerald leave as she is now scheduled for 2 pm but will definitely be here for the others.

Yup. (What else do they do in Gander?:))

IIRC, provide shelter to refugee Americans and visitors when things turn deadly in our air spaces. Have you visited DD and visited the (IIRC) "Silent Witness"?
