Oops; it's not MSC Margarita being moved but much smaller container ship 'Deneb J'
 

Deneb J is just moving from berth 33C to 32. I also wonder how many freight companies also run cruise ships.  I know of MSC and I guess Hurtigruten, and while NYK has spun off Crystal they still run Asuka2 in the Japanese market.  Any others?

I'm not sure. It just sticks in there until you backspace over it. It's even worse if you added an image. 

You're "draft" post will even be there if you log out and log back in. Moreover, it will follow you from PC to phone and back again. 

Ugg!

Just noticed there are lots of new emojis.

Costa and HAL used to, but they have long since ditched their cargo divisions. Not sure if any others besides MSC, NYK and Hurtigruten

Looks like quite a lot of white truck activity in Aruba.

Glad I'm able to make it for the first one.  Excited to hear toots.

Hi, everyone.   Glad to see Veendam still here.  I was delayed getting home and was afraid I had missed it.

[Happily@Sea]

Bow lines dropping at Aruba - NA getting ready to leave.

 

[Copper10-8]

Pax jet-way now retracted for VEDM at PE. Things to come!

[Happily@Sea]

A few are gone rest still tight on NA.

 

Now more lines gone.

I hope we can get a good look at Nieuw Amsterdam before Veendam leaves.

Wish I could understand what the Captain was saying on the Nieuw Amsterdam.

Last line slack on Nieuw Amsterdam.

Roy

[Happily@Sea]

Last lines for NA - from Aruba to FLL next.

Great toot Nieuw Amsterdam.

He said "We're leaving! Hold on to your hats" in Dutch

Darn!  Missed the toot because I didn't have the Aruba sound on.

Nice zoom in FLL.

I believe it.

That's all for NA - shifted cam to RCI - may only get a small glimpse, if she passes behind.

 

All my attention is back on  Veendam.

[Copper10-8]

Pop quiz; what is Veendam named after?

[rafinmd]

I wonder, will Margarita need to back out to the basin?

Roy

[Happily@Sea]

There go the rest of the lines.

A town in the Northeast of the Netherlands.
