Two “ Love Boat” toots. Stingy;)

[Krazy Kruizers]

Love hearing those Love Boats.

[Krazy Kruizers]

That is it for me today.

Here comes Conquest into the picture.

Conquest backing out.

We've had a busy afternoon - booking a hotel for a week in London (actually, Kingston) for May. I had a sudden fear that the royal wedding might fill all the hotel rooms! Now I just have to organize our flight home. I even thought it would be fun to sail back to the US, too, but I can't find a convenient TA. Anyone know what other lines, besides HAL and Cunard, do TA's from England?

 

It was a nice day for a sail away from Fort Lauderdale. Thanks all, and see you next time!:)

[Scrapnana]

Wow! 4:25 and two ships out and Conquest backing up!

No major weather up north - always helps.

Departure toot from one of the RCI ships.

[Scrapnana]

Conquest with three toots.

[travelnap]

Three nice toots from Conquest. I like her horn.

[travelnap]

Looks like Allure will be next to go.

[rafinmd]

Not a big fan of Conquest's tone but nice loud toots.

Freedom is not scheduled until 1730/5:30 pm

[rafinmd]

Ann, if QM2's dates don't work you're likely out of luck. Almost all May TA's are eastbound.

Those low deep toots from Allure.

[Scrapnana]

Three behemoth toots.

[Happily@Sea]

I'm not going to wait for another 45 minutes.

 

Rotterdam is out of view in Tampa.

 

See all you addicts on Wed for Zuiderdam and Nieuw Amsterdam. NA to drydock - so she may leave early, even though none have made it this year, even when scheduled that way.

[Scrapnana]

That’s it for me today. I will try to peek at Nassau and Key West tomorrow but I will be out most of the afternoon so will likely miss sail-aways. See you all Wednesday.

I will probably miss tomorrow also, Monday night meeting, depends on how quickly they leave.

[travelnap]

I am not going to wait for Freedom either so good night all, and thanks for the sail-away.

Yes, Roy, QM2 leaves Southampton 2 days before we arrive on Prinsendam! Oh, well, I'll talk to our PCC next week about flights back. I prefer flying west, anyway, if we have to fly at all!

Ouch. My first Prinsendam cruise I disembarked 2 days early to catch QM2 for the return home but to do that you would need to disembark in the Azores. Another thought for nothing.

If anybody's still there Freedom is moving.

 

Roy

[rafinmd]

No toots or rasps from Freedom. Thanks Kathi, Lou, and Dave.
