I guess we had to be up very early to catch sail in.

Thanks for the info, sorry I missed the sail in.

The blocker arriving:

 

 

Surprised that a Royal ship is at Celebrity's terminal.  Vision should be a bit quicker to get out of the way than the usual blockers.  Sadly, I was supposed to be on board in 2 weeks for her reposition to Baltimore but had to cancel due to health issues.

It figures with no X ships in port - they'd stick on of their Main company [RCI] ships to block our BHB in instead. Oh, well.

 

I do plan to be here.

Will this be another rainy sailaway? The sky looks threatening!

I'm not surprised - this is her first visit to the US since October - if I remember right. She should be having extra inspections and official paperwork. But it is NOT dark at 6:30 pm - so no night sailaway.

Checking in, but don't know if I'll be able to stick around until sailaway. I'll try!

Will the web cam show Oosterdam leaving? So far, I only see other ships on the web cam, not Oosterdam.

Yes, all ships are seen leaving.

Thanks-my sister-in-law and her husband are on this cruise. It is the husband's first cruise, so I'm hoping they have a wonderful time.

Royal uses this terminal whenever possible it's better than 19!!

The weather's not looking very nice now.

It's been overcast since yesterday morning - with a chilly north wind at 10-20 mph. Of course the temperature in FLL is better than North FL - but still not nice weather after the 80s of the 2 weeks before.

Not as bad as earlier but still raining heavily and windy. I think it will be interesting tonight as we seem to be sailing through the weather. Haven't seen the "bags" on the stairwell yet, I enjoy feeling the ship move DH not so much 🤢

I'm surprised you said that.  I sailed the Eurodam from 19 in November and thought it was fine.

 

And Bon Voyage!

I agree, not a good sign when the 'bags' appear. 

[JazzyV]

It looks like the foghorn should be going.

[JazzyV]

Silent departure!

[rafinmd]

No toots.  Think the Bridge crew may have had other things on their minds.
