Prinsedam Port Everglades and Rotterdam Key West Sail-Aways Mar 12, 2018

Is that Prinsendam singling up?

 

Or "DogLeg Express"?

 

Dublin Express.

[kazu]

Captain just confirmed that there is a missing crew member

 

Thanks :). I thought I heard it earlier and it was for the EE.

 

Doesn't sound good. Hope the crew member is ok.

[Boytjie]

Crew member on Prinsendam jumped ship today. They are calling CBP.

[erewhon]

Crew member jumped ship!

[kazu]

Packed my kid gloves!

 

Good one. :). We're on with Anne (Vict0riann) when you return so keep those gloves on :D:')

[Vict0riann]

Wow! A crew member jumping ship, and CBP involved! I guess I had better go and start fixing dinner, so please somebody post the outcome of all the excitement!

We do too. No matter what the reason, it’s probably not a good thing

[rafinmd]

Crew member jumping ship. Ouch!

WOW:eek:

[BigGreenFan]

I hope it’s not the pastry chef!

[kazu]

I hope it’s not the pastry chef!

 

That would be a catastrophe! I suspect you are safe food wise ;). :D

 

Looks like everything is on hold sail wise?

[erewhon]

Prinsendam now reset for 2200!

[kazu]

Prinsendam now reset for 2200!

 

YIKES :eek:

 

That's 11:00 pm our time. Way too late for me with a 'Nor Easter coming in.

 

Dam, I'll try but I don't think I can do that one. I guess we'll just have to wait until we see her when she returns and we are boarding ;)

My Cabin Steward on the 2008 World Cruise tried to jump ship in Singapore, but Ship's Security caught him before he left the ship. He was questioned as to why he was leaving the ship with a full piece of luggage.

[rkacruiser]

With such a late sailaway, those at Second Seating dinner ought to be able to be out on deck to watch their sailaway.

[rafinmd]

No word but the bow is dark. I hope that's a good sign.

 

 

Ready to go but it looks like still no pilot until 2200.

There are a few of us left watching.

Any chance you can grab a screenshot for kazu. I think it's dangerous for me to try given the state of my internet.

 

Roy

[gigianne]

Of course Roy!

[Vict0riann]

9:45 and she's still sitting there. Waiting....

 

I wonder if they won't let her leave.:eek:

very considerate of you Roy. :) I came back to see if by chance she was going.

If the pilot is not scheduled until 22:00?? or is there an issue because a crew member tried to jump ship. I am still stunned at this.

[Vict0riann]

What was that comment about the Prisendam - 3, 4 or 6? I wondered if the St. Johns tug was talking to her. I don't understand all the nautical talk!

 

Looks like St. Johns is helping with a barge (?) that is creeping in.

[rkacruiser]

wow!

 

He wasn't thinking clearly. He did not have his Passport nor his seaman's papers. Even if he had gotten off the ship, without his Passport, how was he going to get to Indonesia? He had some serious family issues, and for whatever reason, HAL would not release him from his contract. Needless to say, his Supervisor told me that he was fired.

That is sad that he had family issues and HAL wouldn't help.

 

Off topic, but from your signature I've noticed you sailed Home Lines. I was on one of their last cruises before it was over. Crew were a bit grumpy, caught off guard but they sprang to action pretty fast and I was sorry to see that line disappear.

 

No one knew at the time of booking that it was the end of that cruise line.
