[QUOTE=Marco's Tia;42148892]I just found out about this sailaway thread.... got room for one more? OK, now what do I do......?:confused:[/QUOTE]

Welcome, watch, wave, enjoy a libation, post, laugh, pout your not cruising.

If you click on the green triangle for that container ship it should tell you about its travels. Also, down at the bottom of the screen there is a port schedule tag and it has info on ships in port for Pt. Everglades. Blue triangle is cruise ships; green-freight We know all!

OK, I got a webcam shot with three ships in it, and it says "Hyatt Views" at the top. Is that where I need to be?

I think ships post an early departure time so that they can be first in the queue when the rush starts.

That's a good place to be. Make sure the sound is turned up.

The one with the dark hull is our Westie! And if you scroll down a bit there is a map with blue dots on it; if you put your cursor on a dot it will tell you which ship you're pointing to. I think there are six in Port Everglades today. We're going to have a parade of ships!

That's it. You can also get various other views at [URL="http://ftlauderdalewebcam.com/"]http://ftlauderdalewebcam.com/[/URL]. You should keep the original one open for the audio stream, this is how we hear the ship's whistles as they are leaving. Edited March 22, 2014 by 0bnxshs

Oh my, learn something new every day. This is so cool. Can you watch all the cruise ships, every day, when they leave?

Reporting in for sailaway!

I attempted to have two windows open for the port views--one with audio and the one without audio--plus this site.

My software did not support that and it shut down.

Too old of computer? Or what?

Isn't great to learn something new? As others have said, this can be highly addicting! Take a wander around the webcam site after the sailaway and you can see other webcams! On and on it goes......

[Vict0riann]

That's a lot of absentees from muster drill. Does anyone know which ship that was talking?

I wonder who's going first? Edited March 22, 2014 by Vict0riann

Also, at the bottom of the page are listings for Port Schedule and Cruise Calendar. They tell you who is arriving and departing and which ships are expected each day. Also, if you hover over the map, you see the name of each ship in port and at sea...

If you scroll down you will also see different ports with web cams. You can also request a wave from the ship and the camera operators will zoom in on you and you can purchase a sail-away video from them.

The cams operate 24/7, so yes!

Are you trying to open your web browser twice rather open a new tab for the second view once your browser is open?

[alibabacruisers]

On the FLL cam it looks like everyone is in position...ready for a zoom in and start the parade!

Welcome Sail-Away Newbie. Join our addiction.

Looks like some ugly clouds on the horizon. Hope they get out before everything hits.

[KNOT2L82SAIL]

Happy Saturday, fellow Sail-away addicts.
checking in for some great toots.... hopefully the site cooperates and the Champ puts on an awesome show.

[aliaschief]

I keep one camera open on Google Chrome and the other cam and CC page open on Internet Explorer.

[Vict0riann]

Something's been left on a dock which says "Westerdam" on it. Wonder what is happening?

[alibabacruisers]

who was that saying they had something with Westerdam on it and trying to let someone know? Edited March 22, 2014 by alibabacruisers

What do you mean by a "new tab"? How do I do that?
