[erewhon]

People trying to swim out to ship!!

[ger_77]

Oh sweet Jesus, the pilot just called to say there are people on the jetty trying to swim out to the Celebrity ship.  Idiots!

@rafinmd did you say the NA is doing 2 deferred charters this week and next?

Correct.

Told by a couple at hotel they were going on NA Soul Train cruise today.

[rafinmd]

I think Reflection outdid her big sister.

I counted 9 toots.

[rafinmd]

If Allure is anywhere near on time we should have all the non-chartered ships pretty well grouped.

[ger_77]

You can certainly hear the police boat!

[ger_77]

Loud toots!~

[erewhon]

Good toot show from Caribbean Princess.

[rafinmd]

Lots of toots today.  Warnings for the swimmers?

[aliaschief]

They are just rooting away!

[ger_77]

I love hearing the reception from the condos!

[erewhon]

Oh to be 60 again!

They have been busy this afternoon.  There was a small Coast Guard boat that went into the turning basin from the ocean and turned, stopped, off the side of the Apex for some reason.  That kind of a situation is when we miss seeing a view of the port from the web cam that was on Pier 66.  

[rafinmd]

With NA leaving after dark I hope they don't have an accident with the spring break idiots.

 

Roy

[rafinmd]

The only one of today's ships I have sailed is starting to move.

 

Roy

[travelnap]

Allure is underway.

[travelnap]

Hard to believe how big those ships are when you see them up close. The large RCL ships dwarf the other ships in port.

[MISTER 67]

 We are sailing on the Rotterdam tomorrow, anyone with any idea of how many passengers?

[travelnap]

No toots?

[erewhon]

No Monster toots!

[rafinmd]

No toots from Allure?  Well, that's it for the non-chartered ships.  While I won't be going to the Symphony after all (the concert should be live streamed later) I won't be staying up until after 11.
