Krazy Kruizers Posted January 19, 2016 #252 Share Posted January 19, 2016 I came back. She still looks very dark. Now I see departure time is 11 PM? Can't stay up that long. Hope they figure out what is wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope they figure out what is wrong. The Captain was just on with the Harbor Master and was told they would try to have a pilot onboard in 30 minutes.

St Pete Cruiser Posted January 19, 2016 #254 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Wow, tough day for the Oosterdam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBurr Posted January 19, 2016 #255 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Thank you for this information. First reports indicated that the Oosterdam picked someone from the water. According to my friend who had been onboard this past cruise they did not find the ship, and thus did not take anyone onboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happily@Sea Posted January 19, 2016 #264 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Yea! Full clearance and they are ready to go. They haven't announced anything [lately] on the ship, but the captain did tell us what was needed for clearance and departure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBurr Posted January 19, 2016 #265 Share Posted January 19, 2016 It arrived late this morning due to the search at sea last night. Do we know officially that they also had a mechanical problem, and what type, delaying departure even more? Not just "hearsay" but official news?

Krazy Kruizers Posted January 19, 2016 #268 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Half of the ship will be in bed by the time they push off! LOL I don't think so. We are in our seventies and between 8:30 and 9 we are enjoying after dinner drinks. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
golfing1960 Posted January 19, 2016 #269 Share Posted January 19, 2016 The Oosterdam was part of a search and rescue effort from midnight until 5 AM until the Coast Guard was able to get an aircraft on site. Seas were rough. Unfortunately, when we left no sign of boat at that time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ger_77 Posted January 19, 2016 #270 Share Posted January 19, 2016 I don't think so. We are in our seventies and between 8:30 and 9 we are enjoying after dinner drinks. :D That's okay, I just turned 60 and am enjoying some after-dinner wine. Cheers!

Krazy Kruizers Posted January 19, 2016 #275 Share Posted January 19, 2016 (edited) Did I hear mention of a tug? Wind gusts around 22 mph. Isn't that about 20 knots? I can't really hear as DH has the TV turned up. Edited January 19, 2016 by Krazy Kruizers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
