Thanks, S7S.

VERY cool. Thanks S7S

Just caught the aft end. Thanks for the heads up.

[Esme]

Well, that was fast!:)

Wow! That's super! We'll be on the Volendam for our first time in February and we're really looking forward to our cruise. If the schedule holds she'll be going in for the rest of her SOE upgrades and general drydock in December so we'll be on her after just a few cruises afterwards. We've never been on one of the stretched S class before but between the Ryndam and the bigger class Oosterdam we much prefer the S class.

Thanks for the heads-up. Like Topsail, I just managed to see the back end of the ship by the time I got to the site. I'll try to remember to watch this afternoon when she goes through Gatun. What time would she be in the Centennial Bridge area?

It won't be long, sail, and you will be on the Volendam for the Big Band Cruise.

:) She's 'coming to pick us up', KK. Plans are for us to board on October 26 and we are getting very eager.

I watched the transit at

I think the image size is larger on that site than on others.

 

If you watch the Gatun Locks transit this afternoon on that site, scroll down to the third picture. That is the Gatun one. It seems as though only one of the images will load at a time and Gatun is the third one down.

(It also loads a little on the slow side but I think is worth the larger image.)

She is in the middle of the lock right now ... 4:05 p.m. Central time.
