NA will also be in Key West on Monday - joining us on the Rotterdam in overtaking the island. Don't stay overnight in Tampa during Gasparilla - unless you don't care about getting sleep. I've been awake since 3:30 am. Maybe it's good that HAL is taking a break from Tampa.

 

Of course today - NA is docked at 19 instead of 26. Rotterdam scheduled to leave Tampa at 4 pm.

 

Thanks Carole.

 

I just go by what I see on the PE schedule.  

 

Appreciate the heads up 🙂

I see that Nieuw Amsterdam is scheduled to leave at 23:59 PM -- Country Music Charter.

 

I won't up for that sail away.

That might be why they moved her from pier 26 to 19 - Getting her out of the ICW traffic lanes, if she is leaving that late.

We had 2 more guests arrive in Tampa during the muster drill. No update on any changes from the captain.

Well next Sunday we will be on NA, and I hope we leave at a good time so our tribe can wave at the camera before we have to scurry off to dinner. 🙂

The homely ship is on the move. 😛

She should leave at a more normal time -- around 5 or so since your cruise is not a charter.

I know the balconies on Edge are supposed to be all that and a bucket of chicken but I don't like the idea at all.

[Krazy Kruizers]

The Edge leads the parade -- won't have to look at that ugly ship much longer today.

[St Pete Cruiser]

Checking in from the Sunshine City of St Petersburg on the nastiest day we have had in a long time.....it is 55 and rainy.  Hope the sailaway is merry for all those leaving today, including the good ship Rotterdam from Tampa.

[St Pete Cruiser]

Looking at the Edge, are some of the balconies regular as opposed to clamshell?

[IllinoisGirl1978]

How is everyone? Is everyone safe and warm?

 

[Happily@Sea]

Rotterdam still loading a few pallets, and waiting for Miracle to leave ahead of us.

Checking in just in time to see the Edge make her way down the channel.

Quiet toots from the battery chicken factory.

Most of the balconies are what Celebrity is calling an "Infinite Veranda."  Think of an ocean view cabin with a big double hung window, where the top window can be lowered.  From the many comments, it seems to have nothing of the feel of a genuine balcony -- more of an enclosed box with a window that you can open.    There are a few balconies that are enclosed "hull" type balconies.

JMO -- sounds terrible to me.

Warmer. Balmy 40'sF today. We are supposed to get to 4F one evening this week. But thankfully all snow and ice are out of the forecast. Hooray!

[Happily@Sea]

Miracle dropping lines - shouldn't be long after for Rotterdam.

Carnival next away.
