"Perfect Landing"; great name for a sailing vessel

Another one of those "landing ships" that supply the Bahamian islands, "Cape Express" about to enter PEV

Nice look at 'Peal Mist' back from her Cuban trip on the FLL cam

[Copper10-8]

Pearl Mist about to put some eggs in her engine room, stir them, and scramble outtahere; white truck and linesmen standing by to drop mooring lines

[Copper10-8]

You can just see very nice looking Dutch-built yacht "Party Girl" on the FLL cam.

Not a bad looking ship, eh? Must be interesting to take a roundtrip Havana, Cuba on her

I remember that on our first cruise there were too many cruise ships embarking that day for the number of berths at the port, so they tied the ships to each other, and to reach our ship we had to walk through the lobby of another cruise ship and out the "back door". These were four-deck river cruise ships... Could you imagine them doing something like that with today's ocean-going behemoths?

Let's find out if her captain knows about the condo toot tradition

I've seen them do that with river boats in Amsterdam. Naval ships do it quite frequently. On big cruise ships, it would be a security nightmare :eek:

As the southern most used port [embark/disembark - not many pax go on to the Black Sea] - Budapest also looks like that.

Sailing vessel "Perfect Landing" with engine problems, still looking for a tow-in, and not so perfect landing, by TowboatUS

A European river cruise (Amsterdam-Budapest) is most definitely on our bucket list. Friends of ours have done it and have nothing but positive comments. You've done it, eh?

Summer of 2015 on AMA Waterways. Just over two weeks long, 84 locks, port intensive and a certificate proclaiming I'd successfully crossed the European Continental Divide. :D

 

Of course the ship provides one free excursion everyday/port and usually within walking distance of town. I'd like to do it again someday and finish up at the Black Sea or the reverse..

Nice! :D I heard Uniworld is the hot tip

All are nice, best deals are far out from the time of the voyage. Pick the date, the port, length/destination and find what is available. Compare, compare, compare.

 

Some have bicycles you can use from the ship, some don't. Not usually much entertainment and usually less than 200 pax - with the average being in the 120-140 range.

 

One sitting for dinner, and inclusive times for breakfast and lunch. Lately they've been offering a Chef's Table Dinner that you have to sign up for [once a week]..

Beautiful day in FLL and Aruba. I wonder why the FLL webcam is not panning.:confused:

It just got done following the Pearl Mist out and then returned to a stationary view.

Thanks for the tips; much obliged!

[Copper10-8]

Btw, the Navy refers to ships mooring side-to-side at a dock as "cross-decking"

Nieuw Amsterdam following Regal out at 1615.

The mind of a harbormaster; sometimes hard to get into ;) I'm sure he's got a very good explanation

 

 

It is almost in the same category as the Upgrade Fairy.
