ms Nieuw Amsterdam and ms Eurodam Sail-Away March 13, 2016

[Lizzie68]

We had a great time, and everyone was so helpful, even just regular people walking down the street offered to help when we were reading our BIG FONT directions on how to get to places we wanted to go.

 

I think a week's getaway to Vancouver is going to be a regular event in this household :)

 

Oh great. I'm retired now but used to work right downtown, and many is the time I stopped to help when I saw people standing with a map.:D The biggest problem for tourists in Vancouver, I believe, is that they just don't know about how much is below street level.

We are going to miss your screen shots, Kathi, while you are gone on the Westerdam/NA cruises.;) Though Sailaway season will be pretty much over I guess.:(

 

Will you be doing another blog Scrapnana? Looks like a fabulous cruise!

[dfish]

Should the Nieuw Amsterdam be leaving now?

 

Roy

 

According to the port schedule, yes. But, you know how that goes.

Checking in - looks like rain in the distance and the sound went out briefly - hope not a repeat of Friday.

[Rowsby]

What a busy day....wonder who will be first out of the shoot....????

[Scrapnana]

Just said she is singling up.

[Happily@Sea]

Looking forward to watching sail away. I've never seen a HAL ship over at terminal 4. Seems weird seeing her over there.

 

The Eurodam was there in Dec on the 20th. I got off the NA that same day and was waitingto board the Zuiderdam the next day. My hotel room put her right in front of me. No Princess blocking my view, just part of the terminal building.

[SJSULIBRARIAN]

Heard that Celebrity ready and NA singling up.

[Scrapnana]

Will you be doing another blog Scrapnana? Looks like a fabulous cruise!

 

Yes, I will.

There will also be a "Live" thread on both cruises where (hopefully) a number of people will post.

Checking in. We thought of you, Lizzie, while we ate our grilled cheese sandwiches!

 

Looks like NA is moving. I got here just in time!

PE webcam has a better shot at the moment - and it looks like a bit of a stormy sky.

[Scrapnana]

She's off!

[dfish]

She's off!

 

Yep, the blue hull is peeking out from behind the Princess boat. The parade has begun.

[travelnap]

Looks like the NA is underway, let the parade begin. Zoom would be nice.

[SJSULIBRARIAN]

She's moving forward. Must be nice to go straight out rather than back and turn.

[St Pete Cruiser]

NA is first.

Scrapnana, glad to hear you will be posting/blogging your Westerdam cruise.

[Love the beach]

Yes, I will.

AWESOME! Looking forward to it!

[Scrapnana]

Sounds like that Bahama boat is in trouble with someone.

[Scrapnana]

Nice zoom!

[OVgirl]

Thanks for the zoom.

[Crazy For Cats]

Checking in for sail away. Need to hear some toots! :)

[SJSULIBRARIAN]

A zoom!

[Scrapnana]

Checking in for one of the last of the season

 

Not quite the end yet. By my count there are 17 more FLL sail-aways.

[lka1012]

She's moving forward.

 

So she is "Springing Forward" :D

[Scrapnana]

Long good-bye toots!
