SS Exeter Posted October 14, 2015 #1 Share Posted October 14, 2015 I know that some of you who just watched the Westerdam depart must know which building the Camera is in. Last time we left, we waved, but at the wrong time, because we were not sure where the camera is. Leaving on her Saturday and we would like to do a better job of waving. Help would be appreciated.:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SS Exeter Posted October 14, 2015 Author #3 Share Posted October 14, 2015 Thanks KK - I know that there is another Cam in one of the condo building as well - that is the one where if you let them know where on the ship you will be during departure, they will try to make sure they film you - and then you can buy a copy of the video. That's the one I am looking for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daisyloo Posted October 14, 2015 #4 Share Posted October 14, 2015 The other cam is in the first condo building you pass by on your way out of the port. I think it is low left as you face the building. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare POA1 Posted October 14, 2015 #6 Share Posted October 14, 2015 It's on the 2nd floor, south-west,corner balcony of Sky Harbor, the yellowish building you pass as you first turn into the Stranahan River channel. Sky Harbor is the shorter of the condos you pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last time we left, we waved, but at the wrong time, because we were not sure where the camera is. Leaving on her Saturday and we would like to do a better job of waving. Help would be appreciated.:confused: There are actually two webcams; the first one, known as the Ft. Lauderdale webcam with southeast and southwest views, located on top of the Hyatt Regency Pier Sixty Six Hotel. The second one, known as the Port Everglades webcam, located on a balcony of the Sky Harbor East condo tower along the entrance channel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SS Exeter Posted October 14, 2015 Author #8 Share Posted October 14, 2015 We printed out your directions - so that we will know exactly where to wave. Departing on Saturday - will be thinking of you as we wave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joepeka Posted October 15, 2015 #15 Share Posted October 15, 2015 Great photo and directions.... was a beautiful day that photo was taken. :) Thank you. :o It was taken from the balcony of our cabin on departure day in late 2013 and yes, it was a wonderful afternoon in South Florida.

aliaschief Posted October 15, 2015 #16 Share Posted October 15, 2015 (edited) If you go to cam web site. Underneath the picture click on "Request a wave." It actually has a picture of the condo and where the cam is located which was previously posted. Keep in mind it is best to follow the steps and request a wave. Tell them where you are going to be and they will look for you and zoom in. Only takes a couple of minutes to make a Wave Request and it's free. No wave request the operators usually just pan the camera the length of ship and don't zoom in. Enjoy your cruise.

Rare POA1 Posted October 15, 2015 #17 Share Posted October 15, 2015 (edited) The building in this photo right above the arrow is where it is located - on the third floor balcony, furthest balcony on the left (as you face the building): Great photos! I'm pretty sure that it's on the 2nd floor. (Lobby is ground floor, and the camera is is on the southwest corner of the second floor, corner balcony - attached to the ceiling in a dome.) In any case, it's the first condo you'll pass, and it's the corner closest to you as you leave the channel. The condo is Sky Harbor and it's a buff colored building. It's the shortest of the condos you'll pass. The C shaped building behind it is Everglades House. The two tall white buildings that you pass after that are Point of Americas I & II.

Getting mighty excited.:D Not sure if they still do it but on a couple of previous Waves that I requested I actually got a call from the operators reconfirming where we were going to be. Enjoy and let who ever is running the Sail-Away thread know where you are going to be so CC members can spot you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I think we're saying the same thing about the balcony, it's the second balcony up and including the ground floor that's floor three to me. :o I remember a few years ago someone took some photos of the web cam from onboard a ship and it showed the black dome of the camera and some guy sitting on the balcony watching the ships pass. Nice place to live if you can afford it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
