Rotterdam & Westerdam Port Everglades/Nieuw Amsterdam St. Maarten - March 30, 2017

[DocJohnB]

Checking in from the "frozen tundra" where we heard our first robins yesterday.

 

Smooth Sailing! :) :) :)

 

They left here about 2 weeks ago. At that time, I was driving by a local church and there were literally 100's of them on the church grounds. I think they may have been waiting around for the minister to bless their flights. :halo: :halo:

Then I have to adjust my time zones to get the times right. Plus puppies sometime this summer.

Can't wait for the adorable puppies!:):):)

Looking and the sun and palm trees is a bit torturous.

 

I can't make out the words over the microphone....is anything official happening?

[1of4]

Dumb question....do they clear all the smaller boats from the channel before the ships start moving?

[Scrapnana]

Which ship is loading things onto deck 10???:confused:

Maybe answering my own question. Would Westerdam take on goods in FLL for her drydock in Italy?

One ship was having trouble disembarking from deck 6 so they were having to use deck 4 only. If the common/public decks are that high, maybe so are some of their supply rooms. No idea what ship though.

Yes.Broward sheriff and coastguard do the honours.

Sometimes you will see a small boat coming in as a ship is going out.

Time for a zoom.

Let the parade begin!!

[DocJohnB]

Nobody moving yet.

[erewhon]

Someone singling up.

The answer 'sure - they could'. It's been done for the Freeport ones - but that's only a few hours away.
