MS Zuiderdam Sail-Away December 8, 2014

[erewhon]

Singling up some lines.

Some late passengers just getting aboard.(6 of them).

 

I would be such a nervous wreck. It may be 284 days till I sail, but airlines are booked, hotel is booked and Pinnacle Grill is booked.

Somebody is starting to drop lines.

What is that ship in the middle of the picture? She does not look familiar.

[erewhon]

Looks like HAL away on time again. All lines dropped.:)

Explorer. One of those smaller expedition cruise ships.

Looks like I may be just in time.

She is the Explorer...

[Scrapnana]

A toot! Ahhhhhh!

[erewhon]

ZDM underway and a toot to say so.

[dfish]

Zuiderdam is moving.

[PathfinderEss]

Zuiderdam away from the dock, right on time.

[Scrapnana]

Maybe she will make up for my soundless Sunday!

 

Nice zoom.

[Scrapnana]

Are we waving to anybody?

Not that I know of.

Contaner ship moving behind ZDAM.

I seem to be getting more than one radio channel. Sometimes a man and a woman are talking at the same time about different things (not to each other). Like I just heard a woman say the bridge spans are lowering and some man is trying to find his berth.

PTZ Facebook page lists 2 waves but none for the Zuiderdam:

PE | CARIBBEAN PRINCESS | 16:00 (Webcam Wave-Todd)
PE | ZIUDERDAM 16:00
PE | CELEBRITY CONSTELLATION | 16:30 (Croatian Flag-Melissa)

At least this time we don't have to squeeze past the Silhouette.

Nice to get a glimpse of my old cabin. Zuiderdam was my first.

She's looking a tad rusty at the water line.

[dfish]

I noticed that, but I guess that is to be expected.
