Underway!

*drinks virtual champagne* :D

 

Ridiculously excited for a voyage that I'm not on....

 

Too true......:)

Sure wish I was on her. I would love to do a world cruise but I still have several years before I can retire and take that much time. I do know that the 74F sounds much better than the -10F we have up here tonight.

Going to have to miss this. Just had blue screen of death. I must go run scans and properly shut down.

I planned (and saved) for my first world voyage starting in 1996. I took it in 2014 after I retired!

Hmm I could use my tax refund towards a solo cruise....

nice lit view in the port everglades cam (especially if you're not into the bokeh look of the ft lauderdale cam right now).

 

Bon voyage to all the world cruisers! (and to the virtual tagalongs too)

My view is much better than the FLL camera.

Seeing her leave today is reminding me we will be boarding her in Hong Kong November 1 for a Grand Asia segment. Gosh that's 10 months time - good job we have a cruise coming up in April to fill the gap.

[travelnap]

Looks like quite a few on deck enjoying the beginning of a nice long voyage, Hope they all have a great cruise.

[Scrapnana]

Bell ringers were trying to get a response. Oh, well.

[AV8rix]

G'night, all. Thanks to Peter, Lou, and Dave.

I will definitely have to wait until retirement, they would really frown on it if I didn't show up for work for four months.

And away she sails. Not coming down under this year, but will be here in Dunedin in 2018. Till the Chiefs farewell on the 6th bye for now. Thanks Boytie, Lou and Dave.:)

[IllinoisGirl1978]

Night all! People expect makes coffee and fancy lattes made for them tomorrow morning.

 

:p:D:eek:

[travelnap]

Well that's it for me tonight. Thanks all for the sail-away. Good night all.

Not too horrible unless you want a balcony. Then it is ridiculous!

I should start smaller ala a Panama Canal Cruise.

I'll be here!:)

I would take the inside cabin, as I sail solo and would rather make the trip as soon as I can rather than have to save up that much more for a balcony. Of course though I did get that letter from Publishers Clearing House today so maybe I will be able to retire early. LOL

[Happily@Sea]

You can tell she's not going to Half Moon like Zuiderdam, she made a sharp right just outside the channel, I watched Z go straight out to the horizon.

 

See you all on Friday for Nieuw Amsterdam.

I have been waiting for PCH for two years. They keep missing my house!

 

The insides on the 2018 GWV are already sold out and the prices for OVs have gone up. Glad I booked when I did!

[Scrapnana]

Bon Voyage, 2017 GWV!

Thanks Peter, Lou and Dave, and fellow addicts. See you Friday!

[rafinmd]

Oops. Dozed off and missed it. On time!. I'm with a lot of others, if I'm on a World Cruise I don't need no stupid balcony.

 

Thanks Peter, Lou & Dave, and fellow addicts.
