flamomo Posted April 4, 2009 #1 Share Posted April 4, 2009 I just spent an enjoyable half hour watching the Ruby, the Euorodam, and the Independence of the Seas sail out of FLL. There's a site called the Port Everglades Inlet Cam, and it's kind of neat watching the ships leave port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Tak8 Posted April 4, 2009 #2 Share Posted April 4, 2009 The only thing better: to be on one of those ships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's quite true, but I'd rather be on one of them. :D Nancy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagsfan Posted April 5, 2009 #5 Share Posted April 5, 2009 There's an empty lot off the 79th st causeway where you can stand and the ships slide right past you, almost close enough to throw a ball to. When you're down there for a Sunday cruise, it's fun to set up a time to meet to watch the Saturday ships leave, and then go to eat with your Cruise Critic buddies.

swom Posted April 5, 2009 #6 Share Posted April 5, 2009 I love this site and Wiley does a great job of manning the web cam on sailaway. I don't get to watch often on weekends, but when I am home, I always try and "tune in" to his site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flamomo Posted April 5, 2009 Author #7 Share Posted April 5, 2009 The Crown is in port this morning, so if you have a hankering to watch her sailaway, tune in about 5 PM. There's also the Soltice, a HAL, and a Carnival ship in port. Can you imagine being on the Inlet and getting to watch this every day! Good thing I don't, because all my $$ would go to cruising on every ship I could afford passage on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruisin' Grandma Posted April 5, 2009 #8 Share Posted April 5, 2009 You should see the view from inletcam's back yard, incredible! Lola in Hamilton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poncho1965 Posted April 5, 2009 #9 Share Posted April 5, 2009 Fantastic view he has, check it out when you sail from FLL. Next time we go we'll wave a banner or something to get a picture !! Fun site, check it out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevesan Posted April 5, 2009 #10 Share Posted April 5, 2009 For those that haven't seen it - http://inletcam.com/ A good web cam, but the link to a porn web site is a definite negative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giovanina Posted April 5, 2009 #11 Share Posted April 5, 2009 Thanks for the website. I just added it to my bookmarks. Guess watching the ships sail is better than nothing, but agree it's better to be onboard. We sail in less than two weeks from a port near home so won't have to fly! yippee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InletCam Posted April 5, 2009 #14 Share Posted April 5, 2009 A good web cam, but the link to a porn web site is a definite negative. What are you talking about? There are NO such links! VERY RARELY Google will serve a "web cam" ad that is "questionable" but never pornographic. I have no initial control over this and remove them as soon as I see them. InletCam is SAFE and family-friendly for all to view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flamomo Posted April 5, 2009 Author #15 Share Posted April 5, 2009 Thanks, InletCam Guy, for the great site. It's one of those sites that I check out every day. If I knew where to look for the location of the webcam, I'd be sure to wave the next time I cruise out of FLL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WWCJR Posted April 6, 2009 #17 Share Posted April 6, 2009 There's an empty lot off the 79th st causeway where you can stand and the shipsslide right past you, almost close enough to throw a ball to. When you're down there for a Sunday cruise, it's fun to set up a time to meet to watch the Saturday ships leave, and then go to eat with your Cruise Critic buddies. Yes, the people come out to give a nice send off to the ships on the weekends. During the week don't expect to see the people out along the Inlet. Here are a few pictures taken from the Ruby as we sailed out the Inlet on 3-14-09. You can see people at the vacant lot mentioned above. Also a guy that comes out and talks to the people on the ships with his bullhorn. People with Princess flags in front of one of the condo buildings. And people in a condo with a Princess flag waving to the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiserjanet Posted April 6, 2009 #18 Share Posted April 6, 2009 We got to stand out on the rocks at the opening of the Inlet on February 22nd watching 7 ships leave. It was so much fun waving at everyone and taking pictures of them and so understanding the feeling of leaving on a cruise. It was even more exciting the next day when we were on the ship leaving. As we were leaving, we passed by InletCam taking pictures of us. I was yelling and waving at Wiley taking pictures of him while he was taking pictures of us. Funny, but in the picture he took of me, I had my camera in my face taking a picture of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flamomo Posted April 6, 2009 Author #19 Share Posted April 6, 2009 Great pictures, Bill. Thanks for sharing. I think it's really cool to see those Princess flags flying. Wish I had one of them. I'd fly it in front of my house!!! Now I need to book a cruise out of FLL so I can look for the inlet cam! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MortgageMobile Posted April 6, 2009 #20 Share Posted April 6, 2009 I found these pics from the Ruby Princess sail away on 3/14/2009 and thought you would enjoy them. They are taken from the site of the MortgageMobile.com webcam site. You can see it live at http://mortgagemobile.com/Ft_Lauderdale_Florida_Web_Cam.html There was also a sail away video taken of the Ruby Princess that day and it will be posted to the webcam page in the next few days. Enjoy! MortgageMobile.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
