Mr. Boston Posted February 16, 2006 #1 Share Posted February 16, 2006 ...If you guessed ms Noordam you're right! I brought my binoculars with me today especially for this event as I work on the top floor of the tallest office building in the financial district. I've been scanning the horizon periodically this morning to try and spot her. It's also a little hazy today but at 12:50pm est I spotted her about 20 miles out to sea! She's steaming right along! I'll update you when she gets into port. How exciting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sail7seas Posted February 16, 2006 #2 Share Posted February 16, 2006 Thank you for telling us about your 'sighting'. I agree.....it is very exciting for this brand new ship to be calling in Boston straight from Fincantieri. Can't Wait to See Her!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps the crew want a night ashore in Boston before the part begins! Stephen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the2ofus Posted February 16, 2006 #13 Share Posted February 16, 2006 I tried to access the web cam but it tells me there are too many clients. Okay some of you camera hogs!! I want to see too! Oops, in case any of you are offended, I meant that in the kindest, most humorous way possible. I know we all want to see her, and I will get my turn.

AAAAmerican Posted February 16, 2006 #23 Share Posted February 16, 2006 This is a wonderful joyful time in arrival at Boston, Massachusetts from Italy the new Carnival Corp. ship of the Holland America line. Welcome :D We by the grace of God shall be aboard for the fourth journey from its new home port of New York City . The day we sail and view the Statue of Liberty in New Jersey will be the crowning point of Liberty and Freedom. Boston is a great and wonderful city with not much Tea left (\:-)/) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
