Unfortunate the two above posters are not on our Roll-Call for the cruise. Certainly welcome to join us (some 45 strong).

Have to miss Sunday, because we are out of town.

Thanks, Peter.

Regal Princess maneuvering as I signed on, Caribbean Princess just now arrived, in between was Allure otS. Nieuw Amsterdam is next on camera, shortly.

NA on PEV.

Plan to be here today Peter.

 

Going to sneak some peaks later at Miami as well. Have a CC friend sailing out of there on Disney.

 

Thanks for the thread and reminder :)

Caribbean Princess still backing in across the knuckle, from the PEV camera it looks like they could collide. On FLL-SE, they are nowhere close to each other and NA is going straight in. We'll have a turnaround in the basin at sailaway and probably have to wait for X as usual - only this time Silhouette instead of Infinity.

X now on camera, everyone is in port.

[Happily@Sea]

Looks like some kind of emergency vehicle at NA, can only see the flashing lights and now they are off. Probably ambulance if lights turned off.

[Happily@Sea]

Well, that's it for me - X blocking the view. See you this afternoon.

Beautiful day in FLL (not so much in Juneau).

 

Just purchased the PTZtv Premium (can't resist a sale!). Having a few sound issues but hopefully I can sort them out by sail-away time.

[alibabacruisers]

Hope to be here this week and hope the sound works so I can hear the tooting.:rolleyes:

[Happily@Sea]

Announcement of confirmed departures, Regal, Silhouette followed by NA at 1600. I wonder if it will hold up as the time draws nearer?

 

Stand by for further announcements -- :D ;) :D

[Scrapnana]

Nice zoom on X and Princess. Too bad NA is not in one of those berths.:(

Hi, Barbara! How are you? Any cruises planned?

We are on board for this cruise and the next; expecting drill at 3 pm and on time sail away at 4 pm. at least as of now. From our hotel yesterday we saw the Maasdam's on time departure and majestic she appeared as we watched from the beachfront at the Ocean Beach Marriott on Holiday Drive/Hwy 1A. . The hotel is less than 10 minutes from the cruise port

Maasdam was in New Zealand yesterday, Christchurch; if you were in FLL you saw Eurodam leave yesterday. Quite a bit different in size but the ships' profiles are the same.

 

Enjoy your cruise and watch us wave to the NA over our computers.

Carole,

 

With the PTZ Premium, is there only one sound control for both the mic and VHF on the PE webcam? There are two on my iPad but I can only find one on my laptop.

Per Captain estimated sail away is now 4:30
