Crown Princess is backing out.

Pop quiz; Besides being the only ship staffed with all-British deck and engine officers for several years (Jonathan Mercer and Peter Harris were two), Veendam was also the only ship in the then HAL fleet not registered in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, until January 10, 2006. Where was she registered and which flag was she flying until that time?

 

Oranjestad, Aruba and the Dutch Antillies flag?

Crown Princess is backing out.

 

Looks like a difficult thing to do in that area.

It finally turned on and I am able to see the sail away now.

Willemstad, Curaçao

 

Close, but no cigarette. Hint: another island nation, but not Dutch

[Copper10-8]

Oranjestad, Aruba and the Dutch Antillies flag?

 

Close also, but no!

Bahamas?

[Krazy Kruizers]

Silhouette can easily pass the Koningsdam as it will take the Crown time to back up and turn around.

[Vict0riann]

Bahamas?

 

That was my guess, too.

[Krazy Kruizers]

Crown slowly turning around.

[Happily@Sea]

On PEV camera looks like Silhouette is waiting.

[Vict0riann]

Crown Princess deserves a victory toot for that turn!:D

[Copper10-8]

Bahamas

 

Bang, right! :D

Veendam remained the only Bahamian-registered ship in the fleet until 10 January 2006 when she was registered in Rotterdam and began flying the Dutch flag

[kazu]

More Canadians... the country must be empty!

 

Afraid not. There are still a lot of us stuck up here.

 

Canada has a pretty big population ;) :halo:

 

Wish I was on board, but getting out of here is tricky with storms. Have to wait until May, but the wait will be worth it :hearteyes:

[Krazy Kruizers]

Crown going out first followed by the Silhouette.

[erewhon]

KA ready to drop lines.

[Vict0riann]

We had some snow here too, overnight!:eek:

Great pics of the change of flag, John.

[Krazy Kruizers]

Wishing all the Crown Princess passengers a great cruise.

[travelnap]

Both the KDam and Royal dropping lines so we should have a steady parade today with the Silhouette following the Crown.
