Bother! Sorry to have to leave so soon. Called out.

Hope to join you again soon.

 

At least you got to see one departure!

[Vict0riann]

Sorry I missed the NA. Got sidetracked by lunch!

[Happily@Sea]

What's going on in Tampa???

 

Guess they were testing a lifeboat. It was such a good zoom, I couldn't tell.

 

I thought they were leaving because they pulled away from the dock, but here came a tender from the stern of the ship and have spent about 15 minutes getting her out of the water. Now they are leaving and the tender still isn't secured.

Could you see what they were doing? It looked like that side of the ship had been against the dock.

It was, that was why they had to pull away from the dock. I thought they were leaving, not re attaching a tender.

Regal - Love boat on the move.

[Scrapnana]

Regal backing up. She usually docks the opposite way.

[Krazy Kruizers]

Regal Princess is backing up.

The Love Boat toots will be coming up.

[Scrapnana]

Ahh! There goes the "Love Boat".

[Krazy Kruizers]

Regal is playing her Love Boat toots as she is backing up.

But I can hardly hear them.

[St Pete Cruiser]

Veendam looks good today leaving Tampa, except for maybe her modified tail. Just a couple more sailings and she leaves for drydock (?) And then a sailing from Ft Lauderdale before heading to Canada. With Oosterdam in Tampa next season, doubt we will see Veendam back again.

That is really ugly. Ruins the lines of the ship.

[Cruzin Terri]

I haven't been around in a while due to illness. What happened to the full screen feature?

Terri

[Krazy Kruizers]

Regal now heading towards the channel.

[rkacruiser]

Darn! I missed Nieuw Amsterdam! My traveling companion and I booked her New Year's Cruise and the cruise that follows this week and I was hoping to see if I could spot our stateroom.

Lost that some time ago. They are upgrading the system (their reason) but it still has not returned.

 

Hope you are feeling better.

The good news is that you don't see it when on the ship. We sail on her in 48 days... Can't wait...

Thanks for the reply. This is taking a long time for healing.

[Scrapnana]

All the ships are dropping some lines and are ready to go.

Is it useful public space that was added or just cabins?

[65 Gator]

Mostly cabins although they did screw up the pool in the rear...

[Scrapnana]

Nice serenade of "Love Boat".

[Krazy Kruizers]

Only 2 Love Boat toots??

[Krazy Kruizers]

Silhouette moving towards the channel.

And then hopefully Eurodam.

[St Pete Cruiser]

65 Gator, good point. Bermuda cruise? Have you seen the new rooms they added?
