Does anyone know what the passenger ship in front of the Amsterdam is? Its between the cruise ship and tender 10.

Believe which, that the luggage is on the way, or that the underwear is clean?😄

Just wondering did anyone else send any mail from Nuku Alofa, Tonga on 28th of February while on the world cruise. We sent 7 cards and no one we sent ever received. Thought our luggage was the the only thing adrift, mail evidently was stopped too.

 

Yes, our neighbor received a card from Tonga. We mailed all our cards at the Post Office not at the desk at the port. Had thought of buying more cards and mailing them, but they were all out of stamps in the late afternoon at the small temporary post office at the port.

These "ships" show up and then disappear...then show up again.  I think they are a "ghost" of the other ships.  They are too close to be an actual ship and I've seen them before in Manila Bay.  Usually I see them for a short time after one of the ships pulls into it's anchorage spot but then it disappears.  At this anchorage is the first time I've seen them "show up" and then "go away" and then "show up" again.  Odd....

probably a waste disposal ship, supply vessel or a tanker, and they might go from one ship to another

No, blue is only for passenger ships.  Possibly an Amsterdam tender that was in the water briefly.

Just received a  second confirmation that our luggage is being offloaded today.

[oofroggie]

Where did your confirmation come from? I have not been informed from HAL.

[KirkNC]

This is coming from crew on the ship, no communication from HAL to passengers yet.

Since I can not remember what I packed when I open up my suitcases it will be like opening packages at Christmas.

That ship is known as "the Flying Dutchman," De Vliegende Hollander" in Dutch. She's legendary and is closely linked to the 17th (Golden for the Dutchies) Century "Verenigde Oostindische Compagnie (VOC) the Dutch East India Company in English. She appears and disappears as she pleases 😉

Is the luggage transfer being done at anchor?   I didn't see the Amsterdam docked in Singapore on any of the various websites

It would appear so.  The containers are on a barge.

Yes, with the barge alongside like is often done for bunkering. Amsterdam hasn't been able to dock anywhere since her call at Durban, South Africa on 09 Apr 2020
