Pics of RP leaving Port Everglades today!

[eroller]

I'm sailing on RP next week, but decided to get a preview and watched her sail out this evening. She played "The Love Boat" on her horn three times which was fun. Once while leaving the dock and two more times while passing the condos at the port exit.

 

Attached are some photos I took of her departure.

Fantastic photos! I watched the Nieuw Amsterdam sail out but then took a nap.

I see the Port Fever archive hasn't got any Royal video on line yet-they are behind schedule, not for the first time.

 

Royal is a beautiful looking ship-on the outside and the inside but then beauty in this case is only skin-deep.

Thanks for taking the time to share your photos, very nice! Hope you have a great trip next week and would love to see some more of your photos after that trip!

I got off the Royal Princess this morning. Beautiful ship with many differences, of course. Hope you have a great cruise next week.

Thanks for the pics eroller! Royal Princess is quite stunning as she leaves port.

Have a wonderful cruise on her next week and if you have time for a few more pics or a review, it would be greatly appreciated.:D

I'm glad everyone is enjoying the photos! Don't worry, I'll be writing a full review (no sugar coating) and taking tons of photos.

 

I just got off the QUEEN ELIZABETH in Europe about a week ago so I'm working on that review and processing over 700 photos I took along the way! I'll just say upfront that the QUEEN ELIZABETH was near perfection as was the weather and ports.

 

I'm a big fan of the Celebrity Solstice Class, so it will be interesting to see how the ROYAL PRINCESS stacks up. As far as design, demographics, size, price, and itineraries I think it will be a fair comparison.

Watched the sail away this evening. The Love Boat themed horn caught me off guard. Sounded great.

Hi,

Thanks for the pictures, as well. I caught the sail away last week on the Webcams. I followed her all the way out, even with the helicopter maneuvers!! That horn was something. I knew it was coming but to hear it was something else.

We have friends on board this week, as well. I'm sure they are enjoying themselves and will leave a note for me "somewhere" (Crooners?) LOL. I guess I'm dreaming. :)

 

We'll be aboard on Nov. 17--2 weeks from today and will probably be in bed by this time!! :D

 

Take care. Lynne

You always do a fair and concise review so we'll be looking forward to that. Glad the Queen Elizabeth cruise was so good. Our favorite ship!

Hi Ernie!

 

Great pictures! Looking forward to hearing your post-cruise insight as I will be just two weeks from embarkation upon your return.

 

Have a great cruise! :D

I'm glad you enjoyed them.

 

I don't use anything fancy. A fairly basic digital camera. The Olympus Stylus Tough-8000. It's a few years old at this point.

That's one of the many really cool things about this ship!
