Just got back, looks like I made it in time.

Tugs leaving.:confused:

[Happily@Sea]

Great close-up of the tug but I thought Eurodam was going before Princess.

 

 

And it's just been changed to 1700 on Princess. There go the tugs.

Somebody's not happy that the Royal Princess is leaving at 1700 hrs!

I made it ! I'm feeling pretty bad for those folks sailing away today; the temp is only 73F.:rolleyes: We're staying indoors all day because we have a windchill of -30C. Brrr.

 

Smooth Sailing! :) :) :)

 

73F sounds awful nice to me, we are currently at 8F and it is just starting to snow. We are not supposed to get that much, just 3 or 4 inches but at least the wind is not as strong today as it was the last couple days.

Strangely enough, we don't have any snow yet. Other parts of Canada (including some in our own province) are getting tons of snow - but we don't have any. Yet . . . . . ;-)

They are holding up vessels off-shore waiting for the 'cruisers' to leave. They had given them a time of 1645. So yes - not happy.

 

 

And we're still looking at the late leaving Princess.

[Scrapnana]

Tugs by Carnival now.

[Happily@Sea]

Instructions to the tug from Eurodam - must be ready to leave.

 

Didn't they say Eurodam - Carnival not leaving until 1630.

Where I live 3-4 inches is practically a blizzard and good for at least a day or two of school closures!

We are kind of the same with not a lot of snow yet. North of us, and south of us both have a lot more. We get a couple of inches and they get a couple of feet.

[Krazy Kruizers]

Eurodam ready to leave.

When we get any snow in Florida on a school day, school holiday immediately. Can't keep the students' attention. :D

[ger_77]

Eurodam is getting under way!

[Happily@Sea]

Leaving!!

[ger_77]

Leaving!!

 

Will you be waving?

 

Smooth Sailing! :) :) :)

[travelnap]

Let the parade begin.

[Krazy Kruizers]

Eurodam is backing up.

[Happily@Sea]

Will you be waving?

At the computer - yes!!. I don't leave until the 21st from SD. On Amsterdam.

I lived in Winter Park for seven years when I was a kid. We never had one flake. I missed it then. Now I would be perfectly happy never to see any again.:D

[65 Gator]

I don't think the zoom-ops like Holland America...

[ger_77]

Well in that case, I'll wave back at you from mine! LOL

 

Smooth Sailing! :) :) :)

[Happily@Sea]

We need a ZOOM not a pull-back.

 

Heard me :D

[travelnap]

We have zoom finally.

[Scrapnana]

Finally a zoom on the right ship.
