ms Eurodam, Nieuw Amsterdam, and Veendam in Port Everglades December 28, 2019

[St Pete Cruiser]

I've been away from CC for a few days, but thought NA's azipod was repaired.  Does anyone know for sure?  It did look to me as the port side was kicking up quite hard, but not the starboard side.

Veendam backing away.

A cruiser onboard has posted a photo of a Crows Nest display with the Starboard Azipod at 0 RPM.  I suspect what they did in Freeport was diagnose and also remove the blades to cut down on drag.

Sky Pr has medical evac. Wrong ship - Carnival Sunrise. At least they were still close in to land.

Thanks Roy.  Copper John did let us know the Oosterdam ran with just one for an extended period.

Eurodam to get underway. Departure toot.

I believe the SE camera has the Sunrise in view.

Veendam slipping out quietly today.

[Happily@Sea]

No toots again from Veendam?

With no tugs.

I hope Eurodam toots more like her sister than the Veendam.

[St Pete Cruiser]

Eurodam, we are ready for your presence.

A second silent departure . . . maybe tomorrow will be better!

[erewhon]

No toots. Perhaps NS tomorrow! Thanks all .
