All the official sources say the Maasdam will sail at 17:00, but sun~ reported yesterday from on board that it may be about 16:00. I will try to keep an eye on the Key West camera for signs of an impending sailaway before 17:00.

Looks like a great day for aliaschief in Halifax. The Harbour Entrance camera currently has a clear view.

 

And here's Key West:

The gangway view is obstructed by the top of a tree but I think I can see people disembarking.

Can't be certain if I will make it for the sail aways.

Wow - a lot of ships going today in a lot of different places:D

 

I hope to catch a bit of it:)

[Scrapnana]

I'll be watching. It is a beautiful day in both ports.

[Vict0riann]

Roy, you're making life very difficult for us addicts! :) So many choices, so little time. I'll be back and forth. Must try to do a few chores today!

The chief's only away for a little way. I need to do as much as I can in a short time frame.

And I think Himself is on her.

All should now be aboard on the Eurodam if the Chief, DW, and fellow passengers will get away on time. It looks like they had lovely weather in Halifax.

is not a true real time camera. The image is updated periodically. If you put your cursor on the picture you will see "refresh rate" at the bottom edge of the picture with choices running from 2 seconds to 2 minutes. Click on 2 sec for the best results. A cruise ship will not change position very much in 2 seconds.

AIS is showing the Eurodam starting to move.

[Scrapnana]

Off she goes.

[rafinmd]

Clearly doing a spin in place and heading directly out to sea instead of going around Georges Island. When it leaves the Pier 21 view it should be visible on the Harbour Entrance camera but no guarantees.

 

I see the stern on the Harbour Entrance camera.

Watching Eurodam, Maasdam, and Gem in NYC. Very foggy in NYC.

You will see her soon on The Chebucto Head camera shortly.

Thanks, I missed that camera. Chief, wishing you as sunny a day tomorrow as you had in Halifax today.

 

Carol, I'm surprised at how foggy it is in New York. It's very nice in Baltimore.

 

Well, time to leave the fire house and be home in time for the Maasdam.

There she is.

Not very pretty in NYC today.

[mamaofami]

I'm surprised at how foggy it looks in NYC too. There were times when the web cam showed NYC enveloped in fog, and I was 30 minutes north and the sun was shinning. It's very nice here in New Jersey today too.

 

I see Eurodam.

[mamaofami]

Really nice shot of Maasdam at the pier. You can see people boarding under the canopy.

Key West is on my bucket list. It really is gorgeous there today. It is cloudy and cool with a few rain sprinkles in Central Virginia. A perfect day to watch the ships on the webcams.

[Krazy Kruizers]

Maasdam was lucky today to be able to dock at Mallory Square.

So many times we have been out at the navy dock.

[Krazy Kruizers]

Looks like it has been a beautiful day in Key West.

[kazu]

so glad to see the Maasdam today. I missed the sail a way - had to go to a charity function. apparently our new cabins on her were very viewable yesterday:D

[Vict0riann]

What new cabins are those, Kazu? I did get a screen shot - don't know if it shows what you want, maybe I could post it for a little while, and then remove it? Maasdam doesn't have the "Retreat", does it? I was hoping for the proper seaview pool.

[mamaofami]

Thankfully, the powers that be realized their mistake and so Maasdam doesn't have a retreat. Just a regular old pool.
