Rare scubacruiserx2 Posted June 9, 2019 #1 Share Posted June 9, 2019 The Zuiderdam is currently being prevented from sailing away from Kiel , Germany . Protesters in boats have moved next to the ship blockading us from leaving . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare *Miss G* Posted June 9, 2019 #5 Share Posted June 9, 2019 I’m not getting any results in a search. Seems the media don’t know about it yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SJSULIBRARIAN Posted June 9, 2019 #6 Share Posted June 9, 2019 Jeff Farshman is on the Zuiderdam as well but his blog says he is going on an Eastern European adventure today so he has probably missed this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zelker Posted June 9, 2019 #7 Share Posted June 9, 2019 Just a guess but possibly a "we don't want your ships and all you tourists that come with it" protest? I see they've done similar in other places (e.g., Venice, Barcelona, Majorca). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see they've done similar in other places (e.g., Venice, Barcelona, Majorca). I agree this is most likely. Shaking my head though, they don't want the tourists but won't let them leave....seems kind of backwards lol. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moriah Posted June 9, 2019 #10 Share Posted June 9, 2019 Oh my gosh. Hope this doesn't delay the Z's arrival in Copenhagen. My good friends are embarking there tomorrow, and I'm planning to enjoy tht cruise vicariously! :) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare rafinmd Posted June 9, 2019 #12 Share Posted June 9, 2019 This seems odd for that type of behavior right now. I was in Kiel May 5 and there is a new berth at the terminal either open or very close to opening. I wonder if some are protesting the expansion, though it's a bit late for that.
