* ms Prinsendam in Port Everglades for her FINAL sail away - March 25th, 2018 *

[kazu]

Hi erewhon - we seem to be in wait mode for the parade.

 

 

 

[rkacruiser]

And, Serenade of the Seas is the leader.

[kazu]

Yup, the parade has begun.  Serenade was supposed to go first at 3:45.

 

Hope Celebrity is next so we can see a bit of the EE. 

[kazu]

Pretty flimsy toot from Serenade.

 

Hope P’dam does better on her last sail out.

Do we know for sure.  I think Captain Jeroen is on for the transatlantic but has a vacation coming between now and the handover.

Captain Dag takes over on April 12th - LIsbon, Roy.  And, I’m quite happy with that 😉

Looks like it is Majesty of the Seas heading out?

[kazu]

Throaty toots but toots 🙂

He was at the helm when I sailed on Prinsendam.  A truly classy gentleman, very guest oriented, and obviously a well seasoned Captain.

He said in Dec that he was retiring with Prinsendam.

Everyone loved him on our last cruise.  He introduced the “block party” on the Prinsendam.  It was a lot of fun.  

His stories are fantastic for sure.

He told us that too in May last year.  He had a wide choice of ships.

 

I still remember the “give me the open wing bridge, a good promenade and a well built ship”. I probably didn’t quote it properly but it was close to that.

He made it clear back then that he was staying with the Prinsendam and when she goes, he does too.

[kazu]

Celebrity Infinity just had a security call?  Or did he say distress?  I think they said security.  Anyone else hear that?

Sadly I am going to miss the Prinsendam sailing away -- I need to nap before I make dinner -- I have a bad cold.

You're correct, Roy! Capt. Schuchmann stays on until Lisbon, then Capt. Dag takes over for five weeks, when Capt. Jeroen comes back and has her until the handover to the Germans in July

Are you getting the webcam?  Do you have PTZ premium.  When I tried on the Prinsendam, they were apparently using an ad blocker and I could't get in.

Getting our first glimpse of the Prinsendam.

Yes 🙂 Captain Gundersen was a real class act 😄 

[rafinmd]

At least we can see the Prinsendam now.
