Enchantment Of The Seas Sail-Away-Sep 2, 2013

[rafinmd]

That's what you call a Bahamas special;):

Mon - Port Canaveral

TUE - CoCo Cay, Bahamas

WED - Nassau, Bahamas

THU - At Sea

FRI - Port Canaveral

 

The real distinguishing hallmark of "mass market" to me is repetitive itineraries. This really fits the definition. Today's cruise is exactly the same but without the day at sea.

looks like it's raining now....not much else to see....

It doesn't really look like rain to me but certainly not ideal to be standing out on deck for muster drill.

what are those weird looking thingies on top?

[Mumsysailor]

Hi folks,

Just dropped in to see what's going on.

 

Looks like the lines are being let loose.

Perhaps it's just decorative. :confused:

Lines dropping. Not quite sure what you're talking about. From the attached image is it either the stuff near arrow A (by the viewer count) or B (under the B of webcam)?

A few years ago in drydock the Enchantment was stretched. The ship was cut in half and a 72-foot section was stuck in the middle. The thingies you see are wings on a little bridge that connects the two old halves on the jogging track.

Wow thanks! Interesting. Ehh...how do you cut a ship in half :confused:

[Mumsysailor]

Good shot of the wave from the bridge.

The sound is better this week.

I do like the amount of toots :) there's a lot of them!....but I'm not so charmed with the sound of them.....no happy toots.

[Mumsysailor]

Really looking forward to hearing those 'sweet' sounding toots from a HAL ship.

Just 6 days till we watch the Eurodam leave New York, but unfortunately the toots will take a bit longer.

 

Roy

[Mumsysailor]

O well, another one over.

 

Time to move on methinks.

Here's a shot of the bridge between the 2 halves (taken approaching the Francis Scott Key bridge) when the Enchantment was doing more varied itineraries.

Today's cruise is what's generally known as a "booze cruise". We have 'em here in L.A. also:

Fri - L.A.

Sat - Ensenada, Mexico

Sun - At Sea - used to be Catalina Island

Non - L.A.

Very carefully

A bridge underneath a bridge! Great shot Roy!

dam I missed it - what can I say - I have a bundle of trouble who is taking up a lot of time today and really pushing my buttons;) oh well, puppy is still alive so hopefully things will be better and I will be able to catch the next one.

 

Really nice pics Copper and Roy!:D

Sometimes real life gets in the way of our hobbies. Not sure if I'll make the next one. It's the Fire Department meeting night. I may stay home until after the sailaway and then head for the (6PM) meeting. I can watch from the fire house but there's no sound on my computer there.

 

Great picture, Copper. They show an animation of the process but I've never seen so much detail. That's a really wide dry dock.
