Thank you for the reminder.

But I won't be up that late tomorrow night.

Vict0riann · May 16, 2016

What a nice surprise!:) I will try to be here. Do you think she will look any different after her facelift? We'll be on her in October, so I'm just hoping that someone will tell us all about any changes.

Not on her exterior ;)

Thanks for the reminder! And thanks for all the other reminders over the months. We really appreciate the work you've put in to make the sail aways such a success for all of us. :)

Happily@Sea · May 16, 2016

I'm here in Fort Lauderdale, not much activity but the breeze is nice.

I understand the Lido is being refurbished, but since this is my first cruise on the Elegant Explorer, I won't know what the differences are. :D

I wish you all could see us sailaway, but I know it'll be hard to miss the last one of the season and especially in the dark. This is one thing - that I will stay up for. :D

Thanks again for the heads up. I'll try to watch if I'm still up.

When will they start doing the "new" funnel logo?

Vict0riann · May 16, 2016

I definitely second that!:)

There's a fair chance that we'll be able to to see you off. Have a great trip!

KirkNC · May 16, 2016

Any idea what time she might leave Freeport? She is still there right now. I think it's 5-6 hours sailing time so I guess it could be after midnight.

Assuming the Internet cooperates, I will post pictures of the new Lido.

Vict0riann · May 16, 2016

Have a great cruise, Happily!:) Even if you don't know what she looked like before, tell us what she looks like now, please...:D

Copper10-8 · May 16, 2016

You might see her tomorrow with the new logo :( on the funnel

Copper10-8 · May 16, 2016

Any idea what time she might leave Freeport?

They usually exit the Grand Bahamas dry dock late afternoon/early evening

I also second the above and appreciate the work you put into make these sail aways so much fun.

I might make this one since 11PM is 8PM my time - if I can only remember to return here.

I confess I never looked at the funnel of the Veendam last week to see if the new logo was on it since she came out of drydock a couple of months ago. Oh, well.

Vict0riann · May 16, 2016

I noticed on Mumsysailor's thread that there were new glasses for the liqueurs - the ones they let you keep - but they still had the old logo on them.

Thanks Cooper!

HappyMe_ · May 16, 2016

Really excited to hear any news about Prinsendam. Our first HAL cruise on Elegant Explorer next year.

Thanks Cooper!

Any time KirkSC! ;)

Scrapnana · May 16, 2016

Thanks for the reminder (and all the others), Peter.

I plan to be watching!

KruzPrincess · May 16, 2016

I'm really looking forward to reports on the Prinsendam post-drydock. I have a cruise booked on her next year.

erewhon · May 16, 2016

Thanks for this reminder and all your previous. Hopefully will be here (3pm NZ) to see her leave in the dark.:D

rkacruiser · May 17, 2016

A sailing time of 2300; Hmmmm. Will I be awake at that time tomorrow? The time has been duly noted and I will try to bid Prinsendam a bon voyage for a good European Summer Season!

I am anxious to learn from those aboard who are experienced Prinsendam cruisers what modifications have been made.

DeeniEncinitas · May 17, 2016

Thanks for the reminder!

We will be watching here in San Diego!
