face masks being worn on bridge 👍

Some of the crew are enjoying their new cabins.  A little better than what they are used to, I am sure.

I would hope the pilots would require that.

Or to put it another way, I would hope the Captain would require it !

[Love the beach]

Off she goes....

[Vict0riann]

Hope they get the horns on line for the next sailaway.  Toot toot!  

 

Thanks Roy, that was fun, and we must keep in practice for "real" sailaways.

[travelnap]

Thanks for starting this thread Roy.  At least it gives us hope for better days, but I do miss the toots. Have a good night all.

[rafinmd]

And she's off.  Thanks Lou & Dave and fellow addicts.

Just like old times...

That too, but there might be a small and consistent number of people that it might not be as much of an issue as a pilot who sees many crews in the course of a week.

It was so nice watching the ship sail away. Thanks everyone.

[Himself]

I hope she comes back soon!

[Sea Viewer]

Friday sailaway, its a shame only one ship with no passengers.

Agree, but I was thinking of the masks as protection of the crew from the pilots, as the pilots could be the virus carrier.  If staff had masks it makes it easier to insist on others wearing them.

I watched on both webcams, one on my iPhone and the other on my iPad. Beautiful, just beautiful.

It was wonderful. I can’t believe it was that long ago.

[Himself]

Thanks Lou, Dave and Roy for the link.  I will be in Orlando for a few days before Lent which is a few weeks away.

[JazzyV]

Sad, I just missed it!

 

[erewhon]

Sadly missed the sail away.

I did too.  Too much “dog care’ today post surgery, sadly.

Hopefully the webcam will have the repeat on in a few days.

On the bright side, we didn’t miss toots 😉

For now, absolutely good.  But, when cruising begins again, if I must do so....no.  I won''t be a guest aboard any ship of any cruise line.  My physical issues makes it most unpleasant for me to wear a mask for any length of time.

A princess ship is docked at Pier 2 this morning January 22, 2021.
