It is a quiet Saturday in Port Everglades with only two ships docking. The Nieuw Amsterdam will be at Pier 26 and is scheduled to depart at 16:00/4:00 PM EDT. Times are subject to change as always.

Also in port is Harmony of the Seas at Pier 18.

The Nieuw Amsterdam's 7-Day Western Caribbean Itinerary:

Apr 09 At Sea

Apr 10 Georgetown, Cayman Islands

Apr 11 Cozumel, Mexico

Apr 12 At Sea

Apr 13 Key West, Florida, US

With the 2 ships right around the turning basin area, we should have some nice close-ups this afternoon - compared to the normal wide-angle that also includes #4 & #2.

Got up much too late this morning to see NA arrive. :D

Thank you for the reminder.

This is the final Caribbean cruise of the season for the ship. Then a long repositioning cruise. I'm looking forward to the beginning of the Alaska season to get some insights into this year's standard onboard activities and services.

Thanks for the reminder.

An unusual visitor in Key West:

Hurtigruten's Fram.

I read up on this ship. What would an explorer ship with advanced ice-breaking equipment be doing in a South Florida port? ? R&R?

Getting from one cold area of the world to another? I have been trying to figure out where she came from; it looks like she is heading north to New York and Canada and then across the Atlantic.

I will miss sail away today. The snow has melted and the roads are clear so we will be going out for dinner.

Checking in, missed sail in this morning.

There MAY still be a chance for me. At 4PM Eastern time I plan to be standing above Crystal Symphony’s open bridge wing for a closeup view of our new captain at OUR Sailaway.

Checking in.

I'm here, too. Looks like I made it in time.:)

Rainy here today, but definitely Spring is in the air.

NA moving.

Once again I'm getting a frozen picture.

NA leads the short parade for today.

Parade of two has started!:)

Nice toots...

Should be better tomorrow for Eurodam, I think there are six ships in port.

Got here just in time!

Is that the Coast Guard yelling instructions?

Probably, quite a few boats trying to cut in front of NA.

Nice long toots from the Nieuw Amsterdam.
