ms Maasdam in Port Everglades/Ft. Lauderdale Wed 13 Sep 2017

After all the misery of Hurricane Irma, Maasdam will be the first blue-hulled HAL ship to visit Port Everglades/Ft. Lauderdale, FL for the 2017 Fall/Winter season.

As of right now, her arrival is scheduled for 6:00 AM local and she's assigned Berth 26, one of the "regular" HAL berths. Her departure is scheduled for 4:00 PM when Captain Arno Jutten will take her south into the Caribbean for a call at Cartagena, Colombia on Saturday, a Panama Canal transit and, eventually, an arrival in San Diego, CA on 27 Sep 2017

The action can be seen at:

The next HAL ship in Port Everglades will not be until 18 Oct 2017 when Koningsdam makes a call

Just checked her location and she is just east of West Palm Beach (about 50 miles north of FLL) doing about 11.5 knots. Looks like she should arrive very close to her scheduled time.

Port cams are down this morning. AIS says she's docking at #26 right now,

Maybe they are enforcing the daylight only passages, Carnival Splendor still sitting there from yesterday in #4. She's bound for Half Moon Cay.

Looks like she made it.

Maasdam reported on the port schedule (https://pevvesseltraffic.broward.org/webx/) as arriving at 6:40. I think that is the time the pilot is picked up. 2 cruise ships left between 9 and 11 PM so it appears that arrivals must be in daylight but departures at night are permitted.

Carnival Splendor probably came back from a mission to keep cruisers safe. It's next cruise is not until tomorrow.

Thanks, Roy, I thought it might be something like that for Splendor - not necessarily a mission but a time adjustment schedule.

And leaving in the dark, sounds reasonable, people are having to arrive and get around these damaged port cities.

Carnival is shuttling people from St. Thomas back to Florida and sending supplies. They are also keeping one ship in Port Everglades and one in Miami as temporary employee housing.

Four ships in port today:

Maasdam - 4 PM departure

Allure Of The Seas - 4:30 PM departure

Carnival Sensation - 2 PM departure

Carnival Splendor - no departure info, perhaps used for employee housing?

We will have to see how meny guests will board.

Splendor is temporary CCL employee housing last night and tonight. There are still over a million homes without power in Broward and Miami-Dade counties. Pretty much all the cruise lines are headquartered down here. Four days without a/c in our lovely Florida summer - and then going to work and having people yell because they don't know their updated itineraries can't be fun.

Splendor leaves Thursday on it's next cruise. Passengers are being allowed to stay on after arrival at Port Everglades until Thursday due to missed flights, etc.

It cannot be easy in the heat and no power; some of our friends and family in South Florida have power, others not so lucky. Nobody had major damage - but still need to hear about cousins in Miami area about there warehouse - it was underwater. Another's restaurant did not lose power apparently.

I saw on CC that HMC did not have much damage and Carnival will be calling there soon.

The cruise director just announced we will depart at 5.30 in stead of 4.30 because of some late arriving guest.

Fort Lauderdale webcams are back, no PEV though.

Thanks for the time adjustment, I'm sure there will be more before the ship will actually leave.

Could be later than that depending on how many late arrivals. Have a good transit!

Port schedule says 1700.

Signing in for sailaway. Maasdam beginning her long trek to down under. We board her in Auckland late November.:)

Checking in. It seems way too long since I saw a sailaway.

Looks like no sound at all for today's sailaway. At least we have the camera on us.

We will be boarding her in San Diego on the 27th. Will try to watch the sailaway today.
