ms Zaandam in Port Everglades April 24, 2019

[Scrapnana]

Zaandam will be our next to the last FLL sail-away of the season.  She will be at pier 19 from 0500-1600 (although one schedule says 1700).  She is doing a 10 day Atlantic Coast cruise in preparation for her summer of Boston-Montreal cruising.  She will be the first HAL ship back to FLL on October 16.

 

Boston, Massachusetts (27 Apr 0800-1700); Bar Harbor, Maine (28 Apr 0700-1600); Halifax, Nova Scotia (29 Apr 0900-1800); Sydney, Nova Scotia (30 Apr 1000-1800); Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island (01 May 0800-1700); Quebec City, Quebec (03 May 0800-1700); Montreal, Quebec (04 May a0700) 

 

There are no other cruise ships in port.

 

The PTZtv webcams can be found at https://www.portevergladeswebcam.com/ and https://www.ftlauderdalewebcam.com/.

 

Zuiderdam will be in Bermuda from 0800-1700.  The PTZtv webcam can be found at https://www.portbermudawebcam.com/.

 

For the Addicts :  San Diego will be visited by Nieuw Amsterdam on April 28, Eurodam on April 29, and Oosterdam on April 30.

 

Next up:  The Juneau HAL season begins on May 6 with the first visits of Nieuw Amsterdam and Eurodam.  No toots but at least we can see our ships sail in and, if you stay up late, sail-away.

Our last FLL sail-away will be on May 16 when Amsterdam returns from the 2019 World Cruise and then heads to the west coast for her summer season in Alaska.

Thank you for the reminders.

[Happily@Sea]

I plan to be here for this last warm weather sailaway [May 16th is the exception in FLL] - we know Juneau will not normally be warm even in July. We are starting there in less than 2 weeks. Brrr.

[Krazy Kruizers]

Zaandam is not too far away.

[Krazy Kruizers]

Zaandam is in Ft Lauderdale.

[Krazy Kruizers]

See you all this afternoon for sail away.

Here is a better shot of her, I lost her to view because she was turning around behind the NCL ship.

It's rainy in Bermuda - not a nice day for Zuidy's pax.

The SE cam has a close up of the Zaandam with many of its lifeboats sailing around it looking like a mother ship with her baby boats.

Kathi, did you notice Maasdam has a unusual Sunday visit in Juneau - May 19th?

[Krazy Kruizers]

Checking In

 

So -- 4:30 now -- hope it doesn't change anymore.

Up to the minute photo.

Lines being drawn in on Zuidy in Bermuda - Too bad the camera is mostly focussed on Escape who is staying put for at least another night.

 

Just moved camera to Zuidy.

All of the bow lines on Zuiderdam loosened from their moorings.

[Happily@Sea]

Departure toots in Bermuda.

[Happily@Sea]

Already moving.

[rkacruiser]

Didn't take long for her to start sailing after those bow lines were aboard.

She is also going to be back on June 30.  Very unusual for a Sunday.  She also has to tender both days.

Camera man did some fine following on Zuidy.
