LIVE from the Royal Princess - 30 days, Barcelona to Ft. Lauderdale - 9/27 - 10/27

[dmwnc1959]

Dave, You beat me to the post. Just checked Marine Traffic.

 

She literally just appeared out of thin air, as I had been keeping an eye out for her since 11 pm. Nice to see her 'coming home'.

 

35 days and counting...

 

With that said I would like to also say THANK YOU to all who have added to our Royal Princess encyclopedia of knowledge with your personal experiences aboard ship. Your insight, commentary, and opinion - whether good, bad, or indifferent - have been incredibly valuable and most greatly appreciated. :D

Harbor Master is currently calling Royal Princess. ETA still 3:30am. Looks like I will be up for a few more hours.

I looked at the bridge cam to see if the lights of FLL were visible yet on the horizon and they haven't turned the webcam around yet. But look how clear and vivid that webcam is! You can even see the MUTS screen (of course, it's clearer and more vivid in its original size; don't know why the photo grew to such an outlandish size):

I'd love to stay up to watch the web cams. But we have a 6am flight to FLL tomorrow for Tuesday's cruise, so I'd better take a nap. I'm looking forward to joining some of those already on board.

I heard that too. Guess I'll be up for a while as well. No sense missingi it now when she is so close.

Wish they would turn the webcam around.

Really!

Hope I'm on the right web cam. All I see is water and lights. There are three cams and I'm on #1

Look at #3. I believe that's the Royal in the distance.

Thank you! I'm on it now.

[KruzPrincess]

OMGosh, I can't believe I'm up in the middle of the night and just happened to notice this. I guess insomnia can be a blessing. I hope we can see her on the webcams when she comes in.

 

Looks like pilot is boarding the Royal.

Yeah, there are various webcams but right now it appears you're on the right one. It looks like she is about to meet the pilot boat. Dave

Thank you to Pia and everyone else for the wonderful reports of your crossing and for your thoughts on the new ship.

Safe journeys home.

Managed to catch your last sunset and a shot of how calm the seas were .

If you are looking at the HYATT webcam Royal Princess will appear in that black gap below and the the right of that last T where you see the blinking buoy, which is to the LEFT of the condos.

And another for MarineTraffic.com, and another for CC and another for the ship's webcam (in the hopes that they turn it around!). I finally gave up using my iPhone in bed and am on a computer.

[PescadoAmarillo]

Also a nice view on the Fort Lauderdale Beach webcam.

OK, just added marine traffic and ship's webcam!! I'm in bed on computer also. My husband thinks I'm totally nuts!!!

[bronxgirl25]

Is that her in cam #3 looking like something flying?

[KruzPrincess]

The Fort Lauderdale Beach cam from the Marriott has a good view and nice surf sounds.

They turned cam #1 around.

[NewPennCruiser]

Pretty cool. All the cameras seem to be focusing on the ship now. Dave

[IECalCruiser]

Did you notice that the Sea Witch lights are yellow/orange?
