Just a question, we were on the irrugural(sp) sailing of the Zuiderdam and it was our first Holland cruise after Carnival bought it.  There was a plastic like bright red sofa in the shape of a giant pair of lips...and everyone kept looking at it saying "yah, Carnival said nothing had changed "  is that sofa still there???

On the gangway at noon; had lunch in MDR, and bag with towel has arrived.  I'm 5PM seating tonight so it looks like it will be lido tonight.

Nieuw Amsterdam arrived in San Diego at about 7:00.

Next Sunday we will watch her arrival live from our Wyndham balcony

 

 

 

Nice pic Sir!

Did Conquest just say they were going to wait until Zuidy and Harmpny both moved before leaving pier 19. It sounded like it.

Yes, tight fit to get out from her berth otherwise

[richwmn]

Bon Voyage to everyone leaving today! I'll be watching for the first time in a while

[Happily@Sea]

Ugly is getting out of the way, - last time she is blocking the view of a blue-hulled beauty.

[Happily@Sea]

Moving as slowly as ever.

Question for anyone watching yesterday. We tuned in for a few minutes just as the Coral Princess was leaving and it had quite the scrape going down the port side of the ship. The camera operator even zoomed in on it. Any ideas what the cause was?

It like watching paint dry - as Ugly backs out.

Checking In just in time for the UA Edge.

[erewhon]

Who knows - but it sure doesn't help her appearance.

Ugly Edge is getting out of the way.

It is a separate Bar/Lounge that slides up and down the side of the ship when they are in port.  It is a glassed in enclosure of sorts.

Toots from someone, it may have been from Harmony for their Muster drill.

I think it is called The Magic Carpet.  Not sure that it is glassed enclosed, however.  It can be used for disembarking the ship onto the ship's tenders from what I have read.

[travelnap]

Three toots from Edge.
