ms Nieuw Amsterdam & Oosterdam in Port Everglades on Nov. 11, 2017

[Happily@Sea]

Oostie just turned all her forward lights on, doesn't look like she'll be leaving anytime soon.

[Scrapnana]

I could have gone out to dinner and been back by now!

It's the freedom of the seas in port still and oostedam.

 

the large RCI ships are Behemoth of the Seas. All of them. :D

[joekerstef]

this has certainly been the longest 20 minute delay ever....

Cargo ship passing Oosterdam.

 

How can you tell, I can't see anything but the cruise ships.

[Scrapnana]

Sunny day in Juneau but there is snow on the ground.

[joekerstef]

It's the Dole Ecuador.

[Happily@Sea]

It's the Dole Ecuador.

 

I finally saw it when it turned into the channel, but still couldn't have given you any details.

[Scrapnana]

I’m giving up and heading out to dinner. See you all tomorrow for Eurodam.

We might still be here when you get back.

She's passing on the port everglades cam now, but the details come from the VHF and the map below the video feed. :)

I just checked in here to see if anyone knows what is going on. We have friends on one of the HAL ships and they are delayed leaving. She said there were fire trucks and lots of police and coast guard. They heard a sheriff boat hit the ship and they were checking for damage. I find that hard to believe that they would hit a still ship. Now she said there are 3 coolers in the back of a truck that they are looking at so who knows.

[joekerstef]

Behemoth has smoke and sounds like she's dropping lines.

You know more than we do!

Bwahahahahahaha!

[Happily@Sea]

An accident between a sheriff's boat and a docked ship?? What a day.

Thanks for the update :)

 

There could be a medical emergency?

But the sheriff's boat hitting the Oosterdam has an ominous ring to it.

 

they probably need to check for damage. Bet she isn't going any time soon.

[Happily@Sea]

At least Oostie hadn't started her repositioning cruise to the left coast. This is still a 7-day Caribbean itinerary.

[AV8rix]

It certainly is a curious situation. I'll bet Copper John will fill us in on exactly what happened whenever he gets a chance.

[joekerstef]

I'm curious if there's enough room in the channel for Behemoth to get around Oostie or if she's stuck there until Oosterdam can leave.

I'm sure there is, but now that it's dark, it would be much harder.

[erewhon]

Someone is ready to go.

[joekerstef]

Someone is ready to go.

 

Behemoth still has steam coming from her stack. Don't see anything coming from Oosterdam yet.

[Happily@Sea]

Might getting ready to release Oostie.

 

Her lights are out again.
