What are others experiencing? Lots of cheering. 1 hour ago, shipgeeks said: 1,222 people watching the Fort Lauderdale port webcam right now; 923 at Port Everglades. We haven't been part of a webcam sailaway since last August, when hundreds (thousands?) of us watched MSC Grandiosa start sailing from Genoa. Many tears of joy were shed. It was emotional on the ship for many. Cheers 🥂 everyone. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A live streamer on YouTube stated that the time from entering terminal to boarding ship, ten minutes. He stated it was the quickest embarkation ever. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deliver42 Posted June 26, 2021 #130 Share Posted June 26, 2021 I had sound on the Port Everglades webcam, but not on the Fort Lauderdale one. By the time she actually sail there were 8000 people watching between the 2 webcams. My wife and I each had our computers on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those of us in health care that got vaccinated early have a hodgepodge of cards and I think at least one of the big drug store chains used cards different than the CDC ones. So true. My DH and I both work in healthcare, and we got our vaccines early December, completing our course the first week in January. I think our cards are different than people who got vaccinated later.

Susanb10567 Posted June 27, 2021 #139 Share Posted June 27, 2021 Not sure if I saw this mentioned anywhere..as part of the check in process were people asked to show their vaccinated card in the terminal before they were allowed onboard? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We watched sail away on a webcam through plz.com, I think it was. There appeared to be 2 cameras, for different angles. We had one up on the TV through Youtube, and another camera on our cellphones through the internet. We had sound in and out. LOTS of horn blowing! OMG, so emotional, I shed more than a few tears. Actually, a lot of tears. We saw Captain Kate waving at the camera; saw all those people along the canal waving flags, blowing air horns; and one dude asking if Kate was going to keep blowing the "whistle" all damn night. How I longed to be on that ship! We will be following as many videos and live streams as we can this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How I longed to be on that ship! We will be following as many videos and live streams as we can this week. Two separate cameras. Both belong to PTZtv. The FLL cam with no sound is attached to the Pier 66 tower overlooking the port. Good high angle view. https://www.ftlauderdalewebcam.com The Port Everglades cam is located on the balcony of the owners and has sound from time to time. The sound used to be on at all times but now only occasionally. https://www.portevergladeswebcam.com 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought all people, vaxxed or not, are supposed to wear masks inside the terminal. Yes. People who didn’t have them were provided one. It took a little time for them to get in a routine. 3 hours ago, Susanb10567 said: Not sure if I saw this mentioned anywhere..as part of the check in process were people asked to show their vaccinated card in the terminal before they were allowed onboard? Yes. We were asked via a phone call before so they had a head count for the 5%. They took a picture of each vaccination card and loaded it to your profile. Emails said they would review them. I also think they are available for foreign countries review for access. 2 hours ago, D C said: From the live stream above it appears that guests were asked if they would volunteer proof of vaccination. Curious how it went. Smooth as silk. No one really cares. No one talks about. Everyone was asked via a phone call a week before so they would know preferences. No vaccine or decline you are in the 5% and where masks, possible denied entry into ports, etc. Like literally no one cares… 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't forget to enjoy! You are welcome. Catching up on replies at lunch on Raw on Five. I recall the first call about 10 days from sailing and another 9 days. I think the second call was because we had a 14 year old and it was a tight turn for him to have his second shot and waiting period before sailing, which he completed 9 days before the sailing date. It’s been great, people tearing up leaving port, media broadcasting, crew so appreciative to have passengers and a job. Every interaction feels like a hug. A vessel of like minded people. No drama. Zero, zilch, nada, none... Cheers to your cruise! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
