Raspy toots from Celebrity.

[travelnap]

Really long toots from Nieuw Amsterdam.

[erewhon]

Long early toots from NA.

[Vict0riann]

Those toots will wake everyone up!

[lka1012]

She sounds about as raspy and horse as I do.

[travelnap]

Harmony to follow out the NA.

[St Pete Cruiser]

Three extra long from NA

[erewhon]

Monster on the move.

[erewhon]

Time for me to go. Another sailaway tomorrow. Thanks Boytjie, Lou and Dave.:)

[Happily@Sea]

Freedom must be the one having issues with pax - Harmony already on the move.

[lka1012]

That is it for today. Hope to see everyone tomorrow. Thank all who make this possible.

[Happily@Sea]

5 - 10 minutes delay on Freedom - disembarking some pax.

[travelnap]

Only heard one low toot from Harmony.

[travelnap]

I am not going to wait for Freedom as it may be a while. Thanks Peter and the rest of the sail away gang. Good Night.

[Happily@Sea]

That's it for me too, see all you addicts tomorrow.

[Vict0riann]

I must go now, too. Gotta help set up for the St. Paddy's Day party tonight.:D

 

Thanks, all, and see you tomorrow.

Update: About 5 minutes before the ceremony began, we found ourselves in the midst of a snowstorm. With no alternate venue (short of stuffing 12 bodies in the back of my car), we went with the outdoor wedding. The bride looked lovely with a green plaid cape covering her dress and boots, but by the time I'd finished the ceremony, my hands were so cold I could barely hand them the pen to sign the register.

 

I'll spend the next 2 hours thawing out with hot coffee & Baileys, wishing I were in Ft Lauderdale (where instead of being 22F and storming, it's 76F), waiting for the FOTS to depart.

 

Smooth Sailing! :) :) :)

Well that was good, 3 solid toots, good close-ups. Thanks for the views, I'm out of here - see y'all tomorrow!

 

Smooth Sailing! :) :) :)

No Copper to tell us how ugly the stern of the Veendam is.

 

John is starting a new contract so won't be posting here for a while.

 

That is butt ugly.

What posses anyone to think an outdoor wedding this time of year on the tundra is a good idea?

The bride said it's always been her dream to have an outdoor wedding, no matter the season. The groom said "I'd walk through a swamp full of gators for her" (he's from Louisiana), so standing outside in a snowstorm must have seemed like the ultimate proof of his love, I guess. They Skyped the ceremony to the groom's parents in Louisiana, and I'm pretty sure they thought we were all nuts. :D Another one for the books. LOL

 

Smooth Sailing! :) :) :)
