The horn did not strike me as terribly pleasing.

And I was hoping for a few extra toots.

[rafinmd]

I hope "Let go everything" is the Koningsdam.

She didn't do any tooting on the way out, would of thought with her first departure from here there would of been more of a show.

"The whistle" you mean 

[POA1]

The aft glass does slope down on the starboard.

The 2 ships remaining in PE were my finalists for fall 2020.  I know the Koningsdam will be in Alaska in 2020 and can't go through the Panama Canal.  On the way to Alaska it goes around the horn out of season and I assume will do the same after the Alaska Season.  In the end I was won out by a Serenity transatlantic from Barcelona to Quebec including stops in Newfoundland.  I'm still hoping to follow up with a HAL ship from Montreal or Quebec to Boston or New York.

I wonder what it looks like inside?

K-dam can't go through the new locks of the PC?

And, I wonder why it was designed in such a way?

Apparently the rules for the new locks were finalized after K-dam was built and the canal won't allow lifeboats extending over the side of the ship.  It's a 45-day cruise in April.  I'd book that but am still on the QM2 world cruise.

I guess I'm an addict.  The sun just went down and instead of going up on deck I just took a photo through my dirty window.

Didn't know that, thanks Roy!

[Copper10-8]

OK. pop quiz for y'all: who is Koningsdam's godmother?

[Copper10-8]

Lines are dropping

[1964IceCreamLady]

Unmooring!

[Krazy Kruizers]

I see the Koningsdam lines going down.

 

Sadly I can't stay -- have to make dinner.

[Krazy Kruizers]

Wishing all the Koningsdam passengers a great cruise.

[ski ww]

Circumnavigation of South America to the west coast would be a great cruise, something to think about for 2020.

[Scrapnana]

the Queen although I can't remember her name

[Dogstar]

Made it just in time!  Don't tell my boss ... I'm on my lunch break. 

 

Farewell everyone on K'dam.  Enjoy your cruise!

I'll give it to you! Argentinian-born and raised Queen Maxima of the Netherlands . Btw, also the godmother of Nieuw Amsterdam. That makes three in a row for ya

Looks to me  like K-dam's berth, #21, got a bit of a refurbish also; those bollards look freshly painted

What webcam are you on that you can see that, @Copper10-8?
