MS Prisendam Sail-Away March 12, 2015

[erewhon]

Bummer. Sorry to get everyone's hope up but I just reported what was on the port schedule.

 

Now what do we do?:(

Be patient I guess. Getting very hot here today.Don't know where Oosterdam will be today - due for Port Villa, but cyclone to hit there with 200 kph winds.

[PathfinderEss]

Checking back in, nothing new I guess, Prinsendam scheduled for 22:00 hours hasn't changed. Still waiting.:D

[Himself]

I hope you're right but it doesn't seem likely. HAL website has sailaway scheduled for 23:00.

From the looks of it at 6:54 Central time, 7:54 Eastern time you might just be correct Roy!

[Boytjie]

I will check in at 10 pm

is the Prinsendam heading for Europe or is it too early? I think her first stop on this voyage is St. Thomas in the US Virgin Islands.

Pretty sure she is headed for Europe. One possible reason for such a late departure would be that this is a heavy loading day. Lots of "stuff" to put aboard before she spends the Spring/Summer "across the pond".

I am sitting here excited because she is leaving Port Everglades on her way to Europe and the next time I see her we will boarding her in Amsterdam July 15th. Have waited many years to finally sail on her with DW. This was the style and size of ship when we started cruising in the 80's. I can feel the excitement.

Great News. We can feel your excitement! Hope all is well with both of you. B.

[Colakid]

Glad you are still up Chief to see her sail. DW is fine and I hope yours is as well. Spring is finally in the air here. Colakid

[PathfinderEss]

Wonder what time they did their passenger saftey drill?

[Boytjie]

Checking in for the late-night sail-away. The REAL addicts will be here!

[Boytjie]

Now the port schedule says 11 pm/23:00.

[Himself]

That will be 10PM Central Daylight time.

[Alcarondas]

Yeah, just heard them confirm that on the webcam audio feed. That's too late for me. :(

 

I got to see her arrive this morning though, so not a complete loss.

 

Enjoy the show, those who stick around for it. Maasdam tomorrow!

[PathfinderEss]

Oops, now time for Prinsendam's departure is 22:45.

[erewhon]

4pm for us.

[Himself]

Oops, now time for Prinsendam's departure is 22:45.

 

I might be in bed by that time.

[aliaschief]

I have to hand it to you die hards. Addicts will be proud of you for your perseverance.:)

 

Good night!

<lurking. Thought I was just in time but port schedule shows 2300>

[ger_77]

Aaahh, the advantage of being on central standard time (we never change), it's only 8:05 here right now, and sail-away is only about 40 minutes away.

 

Smooth Sailing! :) :) :)

[mammy123]

Can't wait to see the departure. Thanks for keeping us informed.

[Scrapnana]

They just asked about four passengers but I did not hear the reply. Don't know how you could be late for a ship leaving at this time of the evening.

[1ANGELCAT]

Just heard the bridge asking for the pilot for 11:00 departure. Sounds like still waiting for 4pax. Plane on final approach. I would be a nervous wreck by now. Night all

Good night!

 

Goodnight chief.

[Boytjie]

There is a tug by the Prinsendam.
