If you look at the Webcam, you see two bell towers. The one to the right is San Marco, the center of Venice. The one to the left is San Giorgio, a church designed by the great Palladio. Between the two bell towers is a building with a dome, the church of Santa Maria della Salute, also known as La Salute. La Salute is on a triangular spit of land between the Canal Grande and the Canale della Giudecca. The Royal Princess will swing to the left after it passes San Giorgio in order to enter the Giudecca Canal. It will have San Giorgio on its portside, and la Salute to starboard. We will have a nice, quick broadside view of her.

 

Should make a nice screenshot. Dave, I'm glad you're here!

Thanks so much for your detailed review of the Regal. I didn't think we would get one so soon.:)

 

I want to let you know that you can control the lights that come on with the dressing room lights. All you have to do is turn them off at the source. If you turn off the light switches behind the pillows and on the lamps, the dressing area light will remain on. After you turn the dressing room light off, you can put on the other lights independent of the switch for the dressing room area.:D

 

This is so good to know - thank you very much. While I am never an early riser at home, I wake up early on a ship. This will allow me to get ready for my early morning stroll while DH enjoys his well deserved sleep. Kay

She should be passing the web cam in approx. 20 minutes.

5:00 AM in Venice, and the sky seems to be lightening. There should be a fine view when Regal sails in.

Are you also intermittently losing the Regal's bridge cam image?

[PhillyCruiser]

Regal Princess' bridge cam has gone off line! Is she still moving? It looks like she is still waiting at the buoy.

[cruzrbachoua]

according to marine traffic she is doing 7.2 knots

It periodically skips an uploaded image and should be back shortly...

She's definitely in the lagoon! The bridge cam is also in color now. Looks like a beautiful morning.

Roughly 10 minutes...

The famous Lido and its vaporetto stop is clearly visible from the bridge cam. If I were on board, I'd be topside. I wonder how many passengers are...

For this, I imagine all of them.

[dmwnc1959]

She's slowed to 5.1 knots

[PhillyCruiser]

On the bridge cam you can now see the approach to the Basin of San Marco. Just follow the buoys.

[PhillyCruiser]

Here she comes on the web cam!!!!
