Zaandam in Port Everglades April 15, 2022

[ger_77]

I understand there are no passengers on the Zaandam, but she's scheduled to depart at 4:15 today.

[ger_77]

And of course I put the wrong date on the title of the thread.  Duh !!!

[JazzyV]

Thanks for the thread. LOL on the date!

[Vict0riann]

Wasn't she held over a night?  That would explain the date change...  LOL

Sure, let's use that one.

0.3 knots on AIS.

It looks like clouds have moved in and it might be a wet sail-away today.

[Cruise Suzy]

I see her

 

[rafinmd]

Backing into camera view, as long as that bystander stays out of the way.

 

Roy

[JazzyV]

There she is.

[1ANGELCAT]

Looking good

[ger_77]

Look how high she's riding; you can see the entire red line at the water.

[Vict0riann]

It looks quite stormy in Fort Lauderdale.

No passengers to weigh her down?

[ger_77]

Okay, here she comes.

[rafinmd]

Toots already.

 

Roy

[ger_77]

No passengers, but we've got toots!

[Cruise Suzy]

More toots!

[JazzyV]

Nice toots. She was the last HAL ship I was on, in early 2019, going to SA and Antarctica.

[Vict0riann]

We did SA on her, too.  

 

But for the toots and two people on an upper deck, she could be a ghost ship!

[ger_77]

Equinox is starting to move.

[waiting2retire]

Near and dear to my heart. She was my first HAL ship in 2007 to Hawaii 🥰

[rafinmd]

Very Nice!

I think Zaandam is my favorite current ship.  First of course was Prinsendam, followed by a tie between Zaandam and Amsterdam.  I think 50 days on her.  Does Equinox have the pokey pilot?

Zaandam looking spiffy after her drydock!  Very good sounding toots!  

 

I have sailed on her twice.  The first time was on either her cruise #3, 4, or 5 when she entered service and then the South America/Antarctica cruise in 2017 or 2018.  A great ship and excellent cruises!
