ms Koningsdam Port Everglades Sail-Away - January 8, 2017

[rafinmd]

Prinsendam is certainly a nice looking ship even before you take into account that she is almost 30!

 

And even nicer from on board. Glad I have at least one more cruise on her.

Checking in from frigid northwest Ohio. Lordy, I need a nice warm, tropical cruise!

 

Amen to that. My heat pump can't keep up with the below freezing temperatures and I hate being cold inside!

Thanks for the heads up on the Prinsendam at the Canal. Have a friend onboard who has done the Panama Canal too many times...probably playing bridge instead of taking it all in.

Now 1630 for K'dam.

Can't imagine doing it too many times. Something different to see each time.

Allure OTS starting her mustard drill

Scrapnana, I agree!

 

What ship is on camera in the canal now? Looks familiar....is it another former Royal Viking Line ship?

[iflyrc5]

We will be sailing out of FLL on the Rotterdam 5 weeks from today leaving the cold of Indiana (3 here this morning):D:D

 

Can't come soon enough

German Albatros - I believe she was Royal Viking.

Singling up.

I have a nice little gas fireplace in my family room, so when I feel chilled I turn that on and with the ceiling fan I have a just-warm-enough room without jacking up the thermostat for the rest of the house. Mmmmm..just right!

[St Pete Cruiser]

Albatros sounds right! Thanks. You get a trivia bonus point for that!

[Scrapnana]

K singling up???

[erewhon]

Time for a zoom I think.:)

[Scrapnana]

For canal watchers, Amsterdam will be transiting the canal tomorrow.

[rafinmd]

Anyone know where Regal does muster? Is this an all indoor muster day?
