Thank you for the reminder.

Unfortunately will not be here, as my choir is singing at a funeral.

Got here just in time to watch them dock. Hope to be here this afternoon.

Thank you for the reminder.

I was too late for sail-in [again], but I plan to be here this afternoon.

Just a note: Capt Albert is transferring from Zuidy to Veendam today - so his next blog entries will include Cuba.

Best to all who sail today. I will NOT be at Sail Away as I am in Jamaica on the Eurodam

Checking In

None of the times have changed, so hopefully the 4 pm parade of 2 will start on time and then wait for Veendam at 5 pm.

Checking in from a warm and rainy Ohio.

Someone is starting lifeboat drill -- has to be Veendam.

It has been lovely the last couple of days but your rain is heading our way. And we do not need any more rain.

The Royal Princess is backing up.

She is starting the parade of 2 for 4 PM.

Royal must have had maintenance duties or lifeboat practice today, usually she is docked bow out toward the basin.

She is starting to turn around.

She is moving forward.

Zuiderdam is on the move.

Zuiderdam gave a goodbye toot.

Yesterday was glorious. We don't need rain either, but it doesn't seem to want to let up.

Wishing all the Royal Princess passengers a great cruise.

2 lovely sets of "Love Boat" toots.

Nice send off from the Royal, & an answer from shore. Bon Voyage fair winds & smooth seas.
