MS Westerdam Sail-Away- March 22, 2014

[PathfinderEss]

[SIZE=4][COLOR=darkred]Well that was about as frustrating as yesterday.:([/COLOR][/SIZE]

[Himself]

No sound! Don't know if Capt. John Scott blew the horn or not. She looked nice backing out and heading to sea.. I would be nice to be on her!

[Vict0riann]

How sad... I was going to say that Westie was a teetootaler, but I really don't think it was her fault. She might have been tooting up a storm, and we just didn't hear her.:( Now the sound is back, so it must have been the camera set-up that changed or something. Better luck next time!

Eclipse is moving. Edited March 22, 2014 by Vict0riann

I'm not sure if he is an 'official' teenager yet or not. He will be 9 months when we get on the Maasdam (happy Birthday to Marley and a well deserved break to me - LOL) This breed takes a long time to grow up - yes, call me crazy I knew what I was in for - but I never expected a problem getting a dog in the car. It's just never been an issue as the dogs like to go with Mum (smart puppies :D)

I have a newly developed patience and this is definitely the LAST puppy we ever get (we keep telling ourselves that anyways).

Bummer on the sound. I really wanted to hear it. oh well. I'll be close and personal next Friday :)

[Mumsysailor]

Lets see if we get to hear tooting from the Eclipse. :rolleyes:

Like I said I believe something distracted the operator as we basically were not having regular camera shots etc.

Ship happens but we did get a very nice performance from Connie. Maybe POA1 can tell us what the Westy did.

Thanks, my pleasure.

We'll be waving to you all from the Maasdam next Friday. Look for the Canadian flags and the larger verandahs (cabin 26 and if we need the space - cabin 28 as well).

Some of your sail a way fans will be there - gigianne, 0bnxshs, Skipper's Mom to name a few - oh and kazu too :p

Decent number of toots, but nothing approaching what we've grown to expect over the last few months. All in all, a solid "B".:)

Looking forward to it - but surely not as much as you are to your trip. :)

That is much better than the "F" the Noordam earned yesterday!:eek:

Hope you have a wonderful cruise, kazu, keep in touch. We have 7 months to wait before we get on the Maasdam!

Thanks now go over to your neighbors and tell them not to screw up when Hal ships go by. LOL:)

Yes, Noordam definitely was a teetootaler!

It won't be hard to spot me! :D

[Yodalicious]

I am not a fan. there were no zoom in's for the WEsterdam, I hope this is temporary. I liked the old 3 cams from port everglades :(

Will you be wearing the gorilla suit? ;)

[Mumsysailor]

Lots of Brits!!! Yay!, :D :D

[Yodalicious]

I am so disappointed this week:(

[0bnxshs]

[quote name='Mumsysailor']Will you be wearing the gorilla suit? ;)[/QUOTE]

Suit? What suit? :p

BTW, these are the same 3 cams as always. Just configured differently in the stream. The only thing that has changed is the way they are accessed on the webpage. The interruptions are more likely server and internet based. Edited March 22, 2014 by 0bnxshs

As stated yesterday, per there web site they are working on some exciting new changes. The no zooming on Westerdam had nothing to do with the in place cameras.

It was just human or equipment error. Edited March 22, 2014 by aliaschief
