Rotterdam in Rotterdam

[samsonmo]

Ms Rotterdam coming in. Near Hotel New York. Not long before she docks at the Cruise Port terminal. Many people watching.

It was copied from one of the webcams from the Port of Rotterdam as are all of the photos above. It might look slightly dark however I can assure the weather here is incredible, we are in the middle of a heat wave with temperatures above 35 celsius. I am sure many photos will follow on her last journey as Rotterdam, I was just the first one to post today.

Thanks everyone for the pictures.  Watched some of the sail in, but missed a lot of it.  I hope the Amsterdam arrives an hour or two later than RDM.  (Secretly, I had hoped that RDM would have been delayed slightly!)

Loved the pictures and the video.

Thanks to everyone for sharing.

I believe she has one more voyage as MS Rotterdam, a short one from the cruise terminal to a shipyard.

Thanks for the great pictures. Wonderful ship. Sad Day. The bean counters won.

This crossed my FB feed this morning.  Thought it a nice video of the Rotterdam sailing into Rotterdam for the last time.

Dank je wel Jaap  @rotjeknor, thanks very much and also your son for making these pictures and specially that short video of the ship coming in and blowing its horn that was very special , I let a small tear drop ........

 

Here in Ontario , Canada I was up until 3.30 am to see this special moment and took my screenshots from Hotel New York  where we had a coffee together a couple of years ago . Greetings from Martha and me .

Very sad!  Thanks for the pictures.

[Lunar Dragon]

Thank you for the pictures and videos!  Had tears in my eyes seeing her arrive for the last time in Rotterdam.  We have traveled on her many times, last year to the north pole.

Little did we know that was our last trip on her!

 

 I  do hope the lovely  art work gets transferred to the Rotterdam VII!

@rotjeknor  Thank your son for the great pics and I hope maybe he can do the same when the Amsterdam comes by?  If possible?  I don't believe she will actually dock there but if the dry dock is in the area, hopefully he can catch some pictures of her. 

 

Thank you,

Linda R.

Thanks! The Amsterdam will go straight to Damen Shipyards. He won’t be able to take pics there . If I see any pics on websites from shiplovers in the area , I’ll ask if I can post those .

Thanks, I have no idea where the shipyard is but I figured I could always ask about pictures.  I'll have to Google it to see where it is.   Stay safe!

[StLouisCruisers]

Thank you for the photos!  It's hard to watch but we are grateful for the opportunity to view them.  Miss those Dam ships!

[highland cruiser]

Thank you for the pictures.  We sailed on the Rotterdam several times.  Loved that ship.  It was great to see so many people watching her arrive.
