Busy day in port, seven ships, six scheduled for 4pm. Should be a great parade! Will hopefully be there for the show.

Eurodam now set for 1615.

That's an early notification. I wonder if it is partly because of difficulty getting out, if neither ship around her hasn't moved.

Looks like Island Princess may be going to drydock. She is supposed to leave at 1430 and there is a 10 day gap in her schedule.

Probably, we seem to have a lot of ships [Carnival corp] drydocking right now, before Christmas/New Year's/Caribbean [or Australia - Noordam] really get into full swing.

That sure makes sense. I just looked at her AIS data and destination is Freeport.

Roy,

I really enjoyed your blog (and loved the part where you wanted a bathtub on your next Prinsendam cruise;p) but I do have a question. You mentioned you travel with two laptops, an iPad, and an iPad mini. Why so many?

That's a habit that's hard to break. In part, I have suffered a laptop failure or 2 while on a cruise and a backup is then really a blessing. As to the IPAD's they're light and I probably shouldn't carry both on HAL. Part of the functionality that I get from HAL's navigator is done with an app called press reader that only works on an IPAD. I usually use the big one for capturing menus, but the little one is nice to carry around with me off the ship.

Thanks for satisfying my curiosity.

I travel with two devices which in the past have been my iPad and mini. This past summer I bought a Surface Pro 4 to take and will still take my mini. My iPad is over five years old and is showing its age. It frequently freezes up and will drop the internet for no apparent reason. I carry my mini around in my purse all the time on the ship.

Is this “press reader” something I should have? I’ve never heard of it.

Island Princess now back to 1600 along with Regal, Crown, Silhouette, and Zuiderdam!

You could look at Press Reader but the only time I have ever used it is while on Crystal. It's functionality is similar to HAL's navigator web site and content is mostly downloaded from a free onboard server.

Island Princess may still get in the parade, she's way past departure time, I remember how late Rotterdam and Zuiderdam were when they were supposed to leave early before their drydocks.

Checking in from Chicago, I hope everyone had a tasty week.
