MS Westerdam & MS Amsterdam-Sail Away-Jan 4, 2014

[ger_77]

I wish they'd leave the string of lights on for sail-away. It makes it much more festive looking. Just my humble opinion. :D

 

Smooth Sailing! :) :) :)

Pretty dark out there. Will a white truck be visible? IIRC, at the bow they must work around some gates and have to watch where they park.

I can't imagine going on a cruise like this. I'd be super excited...and I'm excited just watching them.

I think having the lights off keep the ship from sailing into the Condos

Sitting here, watching the lights twinkling on Amsterdam, I can almost feel the excitement of the passengers. For the passengers who do the world cruise year after year, it must be like coming home. For some of the first timers it is the culmination of years of wishing, planning, and saving. I hope all have the time of their lives!

 

I would love to read a step by step planning process ones goes thru for a 100+ day World Cruise. Does one do it on their own or thru a experienced TA? Well.....not in my schedule in the near future...just have to be happy with being on the Amsterdam this summer.

Dogs wait for no man (or woman).

[lka1012]

Two still at the airport. That is cutting it close. And I understand doggies wanting to get up in the morning.

[PathfinderEss]

2 passengers at the airport........:(

[ger_77]

Oh my, they are still waiting on 2 passengers from the airport . . . say no more than 10 mins - yikes ! ! !

 

Smooth Sailing !:) :) :)

2 people at the airport - 10 minutes away!! I can't imagine what they must be feeling - talk about cutting it close!!

[erewhon]

Sounds like they are waiting for two more........approximately 10 more minutes.

[KNOT2L82SAIL]

Oh my....people still not onboard! weather is playing havoc with flights. Some people are extremely lucky for her oh so late departure.

I can't imagine being that late. I would have already had a heart attack and they would be taking me to the hospital rather than to the ship.:eek:

[ger_77]

Looks like we all posted at the same time! Waiting, waiting, waiting . . . can't imagine the stress the passengers are under, trying to get to the ship on time!!!

 

Smooth Sailing! :) :) :)

It has taken me two years to do all the planning. I use a TA but I am her first World Voyage client.

NOT the way you want to start any cruise much less a world voyage!:eek::eek:

[lka1012]

I realize that weather has been a problem, but if I was leaving on a World Cruise, I would be at the port several days (if not a week) prior to sailing.

[Scrapnana]

10 more minutes!

[erewhon]

We fly in at least a day before any cruise.

[gigianne]

The passengers are in a cab on their way!!

[FoghornLeghorn]

woo hoo They are in a cab and on their way to the ship!
