When did it become the middle of October? It was September.......

Yay! Welcome back to Port Everglades to the Koningsdam! It will be nice to see the HAL ships again.

Thanks for the notice. :)

YAY! Sail a way time with sound :) :D

Thanks so much for the heads up Scrapnana and for taking on the job for the remaining 2017 season :)

WOW!!! Time to celebrate 🎉 !!

Thanks Scrapnana for helping out Peter!

Will be there to Listen 👂 to sound again.

So it will be 1pm here in San Diego and will do our traditional Sailaway lunch and watch her beauty leave the port!

Denise:)

Yay. Hoping she leaves on time before I have to take my daughter to her class.

She'll be arriving at sea buoy at 0430, so I'll miss sail-in, but with that early arrival and all the legal/official stuff she has to do, maybe she can leave on time.

At least the pax shouldn't be all bundled-up.

See you all tomorrow.

ETA: Nieuw Amsterdam will also be in Aruba - same time as EDT 0800-2000.

It will be nice to see the blue hulled ships back in Port Everglades for the winter season. Thanks for taking on the sailaway threads!

Thanks for the heads up!

Thanks, Scrapnana!

We will be watching since we will be on the next sailing! I posted the webcam link on our roll call, and the people from our sailing who are also on this one have promised to be waving at the webcam, so be sure you're waving back at them. :D

I think I will post a link to this thread over on our roll call. :cool:

I think that's 3AM my time! I'll have to be satisfied with Amsterdam's 600 sail away from Osaka. Enjoy yours!

Thanks for the reminder.

I hope to be here.

I tried the links above -- they didn't work.

NA docking right now in Aruba.

First spring line secured.

Thanks, scrapnana!

K'dam arrived at sea buoy just after 5 am, so hopefully - no problems getting her out on time.

Is that really dock 19? I'm looking at the webcam and it looks more like 24. Not that it matters!

That was the itinerary I really wanted but I couldn't book that date. Still, it will be my turn in 3 weeks! :D

Thanks for the heads up. That time of year again. To early to watch the sail in, but I'll be here for the sail away.

Exciting! And I was happy to see the itinerary. We are doing this cruise in January, and the itinerary has not changed - it includes St. Martin and St. Thomas. I kind of hope we get this new itinerary, too. I think HAL hopes to be able to resume the old itinerary by January 3, but I don't see how the ports will be ready after all the damage they sustained.

I probably won't be here for sailaway, but I'll be thinking of you. We are in Newfoundland and leaving on a little road trip with DD today.

Yahoo, I will be watching her sail this afternoon.

It is 19:

I think I'll be here to watch today! Kind of a dreary day here in Central Florida now although the morning was perfect. Looks dreary down in FLL too... :(

It sure is nice to see a blue hulled ship in FLL again! Unfortunately, I will have to miss the first sail-away :(because I am taking friends to the airport. Hopefully, nothing will come up on Friday to keep me away from sail-away.:D

I see SW FLL has isolation on K'dam already. Port schedule still listing - 1600.

They're back!

Koningsdam is looking good! I really did enjoy two weeks aboard this past summer. Hopefully, she'll leave on time as I have to leave at 4 pm for a meeting.
