Edge to lead the parade again today.  

[Krazy Kruizers]

Glad to see the Edge getting out of the way.

[erewhon]

Checking in.

[Krazy Kruizers]

Why do they always like to do a close up of her ugly bow?

[travelnap]

Harmony must be doing muster drill with those toots.

[Crazy For Cats]

Checking in on a snowy rainy day in New England.

[65 Gator]

Copper...

 

Does the Edge also have a bow bulb?  Usually there is a stencil diagram on the hull and I don't see one so suspect it is not there...

[erewhon]

Conquest out next.

[travelnap]

PE cam is freezing up already on the first ship.  I had to reboot to get her back.

[travelnap]

Hearing Love Boat toots so Princess may beat Conquest out.  No, Conquest is backing up so she will beat Regal to the punch.

Carnival Conquest backing out.

Hi sailaway fans.  It is a beautiful Sunday here.  I see Miracle has left Tampa already.  The Pearl is moving out now.

That's a great question!  I had not thought about that and I now wonder as well.  Maybe with the "new" bow design, it's not needed.

Checking in late today.  Hopefully the webcams will cooperate this week

wishful thinking...  Multiple freezes and lagging video...

They have been a little jerky so far, I had to reboot the PE cam once and both cameras are freezing and then releasing so kind of stop and go at times.

I realize those two ships are probably not that close, but dang.

[St Pete Cruiser]

Conquest looks fairly close to Princess as she backs out.  As the ships get bigger,  dock space is at a premium.

Nice view of NCL Pearl in Tampa.

I know right?  From this angle it almost looks like Conquest is hitting Regal

Like the look of the Edge bow or not? Here is an interesting link of why it is the look of the future.

If I was OOW or any other Officer on Regal Princess' Bridge, I think every time a ship sails from Terminal 4 and I am docked at Terminal 2, it would be a BP raising experience.

Had to reboot the PE cam again after it froze again, we may have a long day again today with the cameras freezing and jerking around.

[Happily@Sea]

Rotterdam confirming they are preparing to leave in Tampa.

Thanks Bruce...

Fascinating article.  Would love to see a profile of the underwater hull...

Regal getting underway.
