That is a strangely late time for Majesty otS to show up - too bad she's not the one at pier 25. 

 

I doubt I'll make sail-in. I do plan to be here for sailaway.

She is getting closer.

 

She is really running late today.

Appears to be a rendezvous with 2 tugs today.

Lol ...we do.  Just entering the channel now.  No explanation as to why we are running a bit behind.

 

We are on deck 5...2 cabins forward if the midship elevator bulge. Will try to give a wave
