I will likely watch the sail-away (especially if they go a little early).

 

Hope everyone has a great weekend and see you back here on Monday.

When I was on the Amsterdam in December, my room was right up front. I think I remember that the first lifeboat/fast rescue only holds 90 instead of the usual 150. I didn't get to see them drop her only bring her back up when they were done with their exercises.

 

This morning after arrival, Amsterdam's SECO asked his staff captain; "OK to start with shore leave?" With all her port side boats in the water, it sounds like she had a "general emergency/abandon ship" drill for her crew but later this morning. Crew leave is usually not given until after the drill has been successfully completed, when that drill is relative quick upon arrival, i.e. 0930

Volendam is leaving a bit early. Amsterdam is still lit up.

 

Now the lights have been extinguished on Amsterdam. She's ready to sail!

One off - Amsterdam needs to drop lines.

She is dropping lines.

Yes, but she is still sitting there, while Volendam has disappeared, and I must, too. Goodnight, Kathi. Happy sailing!

Amsterdam looks very pretty as she leaves.
