I guess Magic is just this slow. It took her this long the few times she backed out into the turning basin.

While the Magic takes her own sweet time, and we wait for Monster Allure to go, just wanted to say how much I enjoy watching sail away.  I know we all gather for our favourite DAM ships, but how great is it that all these folks get to go off on a wonderful adventure to whereever....wishing it was me!  

 

Oh well, off from San Deigo on February 29 for Mexican Riviera.  Wish we could watch sail aways from there as well....

I'm generally a silent watcher, but echo your comments - it's fun watching the ships sail away.  I'm partial to the HAL beauties of course.  Hubby doesn't understand the appeal of watching the ships sail, so he can watch silly football @@.   Have a great cruise Feb 29th - for me I have to wait for Nieuw Amsterdam on 3/28!

The first of the 2 of today's ships I've sailed is off.

 

I heard NOTHING from Magic.

Can't stay any longer.

Wishing all the Nieuw Statendam passengers a great cruise and a Happy New Year.

And I watch every Sunday too....waiting for my daughter and her crew member hubby to give me a wave from the deck of the NS.  They are sailing with his parents from the UK this week.

I love having company over the holidays, but when it cuts into my sail-away watching, well . . .

 

Glad to have made it here in time!

 

Smooth Sailing!  🙂🙂🙂

Sorry, not me Krazy Kruizers...this silly thing called work!

Hey, the Allure sounds a bit less raspy than usual today.

They're on the move now!  I'll be onboard next December - it's a lovely ship!

NSDM on the move.

[ger_77]

She's on the move!

 

Smooth Sailing!  🙂🙂

And here she goes, the Neiuw Statendam!  Bon Voyage to all aboard, and Happy New Year!

NS made her 5 pm departure with a few minutes leeway.

[ger_77]

We'll be on her next Sunday for 2 weeks; if she backs out like today, you'll be able to see us on Deck 5 aft with our large Canadian flag attached to the balcony.

 

Smooth Sailing!  🙂🙂🙂

And, on behalf of those receiving, thank you!  I know it is truly appreciated.
