It looks like it got really dark.

Check out books by William Miller. He is another maritime history author. His books include those about HAL.

 

 

Thank you - I will.

It's not a horn, even though it sounds like it, it's a ship's whistle - trivia question :D

[AV8rix]

Sorry not to see Rotterdam but gotta go. Fun talking to you all. I've never posted that much here, usually just lurk. Thank you Peter, Lou, and Dave.

I forgot that this picture was there. I just got out my copy of Liners to the Sun and on its cover is a photo of my all time favorite cruise ship: Rotterdam V!

Strange Cruise Critic question while we wait for behemoth to move out of the way. On my laptop I do not have the multiple quote button. On my iPad I do. :confused::confused:Anybody else missing it?

 

I have the multiple quote button, but it does not work the few times I have tried to use it.

 

It is working for me.

[Scrapnana]

It also changed on mine, but if you hold the your mouse over the one with two apostrophe signs & the + sign on it, the multiquote looks like it is there.

That is missing entirely on laptop. Just have the "quote and arrow (for quick reply).

[Scrapnana]

Rotterdam slowly moving.

[Boytjie]

Rotterdam on the move.

Always will like those "R" (and "S") class lines

[rkacruiser]

Good to see Rotterdam VI underway. During the 2016 VOV there was a port, I think in Norway, that due to the winds we were "plastered against the pier" close to sailing time. Her thrusters were not strong enough to get us off the pier. Fortunately, at sailing time, the wind decreased and the Captain Mateboer was able to sail.

[Boytjie]

She looks so tiny.

[geoherb]

I tuned in just in time to watch the Rotterdam turn around. She's heading toward the camera now.

[Happily@Sea]

She looks so tiny.

 

 

Looks like that size gives her an advantage against the wind - or it's died down some. :rolleyes:

Real ships.:)

TINY?? she's a nice sized ship and has lovely lines.

 

Try the P'dam for tiny and I think she is just gorgeous. :)

[summer slope]

Off to dinner at the neighbors. Chicken and dumplings...yum!! Thank you Peter, Lou, and Dave.

[travelnap]

Nice toots from the Rotterdam.

[Scrapnana]

Three nice toots.

[Spunky946]

Three nice toots to end sailaway.

[lka1012]

See every one next time. Thank you Peter and a special for Dave, Lou and crew for an outstanding job today.

[Copper10-8]

OK, who knows which flag that was? ;)

[erewhon]

3 toots to finish the day.Thanks Boytjie, Lou and Dave.:)
