[Krazy Kruizers]

3 normal toots

[dobiemom]

Such low toots. Almost sounds like a growl.

[ski ww]

The toots sound like it has a cold. Can't get over how huge the RCI ships are compared to the HAL ships. Bon Voyage, fair winds & smooth seas.

Pilot boat No. 4 + Freedom OTS attempting to get a hold of Nieuw A on CH 16 however no response from her OOW; must be in their departure briefing - 11 min to go for departure at 1700

I love watching the ships sail out. A rookie question: what determines the order? Is it just who's ready first?

[aliaschief]

Warming up a little in South Florida. Iguanas will be happy and not falling out of trees.

 

Welcome back John!

Up to the harbor master; has to do with scheduling/next port/distance, frequency of visit in that particular port, at times; physical berth location, etc.

Stepping outside a bit while Seven Seas Mariner sails from Mallory Square. Got a quick picture and now watching her on our bow cam. Captain says as soon as she clears we will leave for Cartagena. Westerdam will be in port with us. Unfortunately, the weather prediction there is for heavy rain.

Hi John,

How are you?

[Krazy Kruizers]

Can't wait any longer.

[Krazy Kruizers]

Wishing all the Nieuw Amsterdam passengers a great cruise.

[Krazy Kruizers]

See you all tomorrow.

[rafinmd]

Somebody's impatient!

 

Riy

[dobiemom]

Somebody is a little impatient...

[rafinmd]

A zoom would be really nice. I think we've gone from 3 bow lines to 2.

Hi John,

How are you?

 

Hi Mama of Ami; doing good! Happy New Year to you and yours! :)

[rafinmd]

I see lines dropping on our bow cam. Going out on deck.

That was Freedom OTS - she wants to get a move on but doesn't want to go around Nieuw A if she can help it

[Copper10-8]

"Cruise ship is delayed" :(

[Copper10-8]

2 hr delay on Nieuw A - Freedom will have to go around her

[erewhon]

A 2hr delay, so I shall come back later.
