innlady1 Posted December 16, 2016 #2 Share Posted December 16, 2016 Thanks, Peter! We will be on the Oosterdam (for the 1st time) February 3 out of Tampa ...hope to see you post it here for folks to watch! We're in a verandah on the stern of the ship. I will ask Lou for a wave. Don't know if or how that works in Tampa. Have a good one and thank you for all you do! Sheila Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
headhunterke Posted December 16, 2016 #3 Share Posted December 16, 2016 Thanks for the link. I love watching ships sail that I'll be joining soon. It makes the wait a little more bearable. It will be my first cruise out of Tampa and am a little puzzled regarding the terminal HAL uses. I've found conflicting information online. Since I've never been to Tampa area before, I need to arrange private transportation in advance to get from my Airbnb to the cruise port. Can anyone tell me which terminal HAL uses for voyages out of Tampa? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should already be in Ft. Lauderdale then for our Feb. 5 cruise on the Koningsdam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happily@Sea Posted December 16, 2016 #6 Share Posted December 16, 2016 I got to see Zuiderdam visit Aruba today [Thursday] and the Prinsendam was also there - though she wasn't listed on any port schedule. The two dam ships exchanged several/many goodbye toots. The only ones I'm sure of were the 3 from Prinsendam as she left 15 minutes early. Nice close-ups and following the ships on the webcam. I hope Tampa does as well with Oosterdam. I plan to be here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happily@Sea Posted December 16, 2016 #11 Share Posted December 16, 2016 CruiseTimetables showed Prinsendam scheduled to be in Aruba. I like to check the port schedules because they are usually more up to date, but if CruiseTimetables [which I have used for other information] are constantly updated; then I'll also check there, too. I found the dual leaving a little ahead of time only when I read the fleet report for Thursday. Thanks, Carole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spunky946 Posted December 16, 2016 #12 Share Posted December 16, 2016 Hoping to be here later. One week until we are sailing away on her. Can't wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sequim88 Posted December 16, 2016 #14 Share Posted December 16, 2016 Never ceases to amaze me how large the ships look when the loom over structures at the pier but how small they look sailing over the horizon compared to the vastness of the ocean. Still studying up about O so it will be nice to watch the sailaway - gotta remember it is at 1pm here on west coast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruizer Bill Posted December 16, 2016 #15 Share Posted December 16, 2016 Thanks for the web link. We are on Oosterdam from January 13 to 27 for a big loop of the Caribbean. Should be fun! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St Pete Cruiser Posted December 16, 2016 #17 Share Posted December 16, 2016 The Oosterdam is using terminal 3 here in Tampa, which is the nicest available. It is a busy terminal this time of year, servicing NCL, RCCL, and even Aida. Holland America got bumped from it on Sundays a few years ago when the larger NCL ship started sailing on Sundays from #3. The Ryndam, with 1250 guests vs 2500+ on NCL was why. Now that Oosterdam came to Tampa, HAL switched to Friday sailings, which works well IMHO.

Happily@Sea Posted December 16, 2016 #18 Share Posted December 16, 2016 No picture on Tampa - once in a while it pops-up for a few minutes then disappears. Right now it is back again and now it is gone. Back again... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedneckBob Posted December 16, 2016 #19 Share Posted December 16, 2016 Hi y'all Redneck Bob hear! Just got off Oosterdam today after 21 day cruise. One of best cruisin ever.
