I won't be here, I will be ON the WESTERDAM !! We will wave from the stern.
Right now waiting at the hotel for the shuttle to the port!:D:D:D

Jim

[flashopper]

Oh, go ahead McDaddy just rub it in. This is why we have our weekend ( and weekday ) therapy sessions with the Chief. ;)

Have a great time on your cruise and remember we WILL be watching.

Jim
Oh, I'm so jealous McDaddy, sigh. We'll be watching from Sunny Southern California, wishing and dreaming that we were on board too. Have a great cruise McDaddy, we'll watch for your wave.

[cmdchiefthom]

As I sit here typing, I'm watching a blizzard outside and the webcam here on my computer. Guess where I would rather be????:eek:

[aliaschief]

I won't be here, I will be ON the WESTERDAM !! We will wave from the stern.
Right now waiting at the hotel for the shuttle to the port!:D:D:D

Jim

Have a great cruise. Bon Voyage!

[aliaschief]

When I click over the different cruise ship symbols I cannot find the Westerdam. Anyone having the same experience. I have refreshed a couple of times but still no Westerdam.

[kazu]

When I click over the different cruise ship symbols I cannot find the Westerdam. Anyone having the same experience. I have refreshed a couple of times but still no Westerdam.

I don't see it either :confused: - I think someplace I read that these symbols aren't always up to snuff. I was sure i saw her there this morning:confused:

[aliaschief]

I don't see it either :confused: - I think someplace I read that these symbols aren't always up to snuff. I was sure i saw her there this morning:confused:

She is probably down at one of the local shipyards...Getting a Horn tuneup!:D

[PathfinderEss]

Allure of the Sea 17:00

[PathfinderEss]

Westerdam is bow to bow with the Allure. They are so close together it is hard to get a read on it but she is there. Now the one I'm having trouble with is the Solstice. There is no blue dot for her. Though I know she is right above the Nieuw Amsterdam, they just don't have her marked today. Oh well, they do a really good job keep this all straight, they are allow to make some mistakes.

[aliaschief]

[superoma]

Unfortunately, Fort Lauderdale is cloudy today, with a line of very dark clouds right around the port. Sailaway won't be pretty today although it hasn't rained here yet (Pompano Beach). Bon Voyage to all sailing today.

[erewhon]

I won't be here, I will be ON the WESTERDAM !! We will wave from the stern.
Right now waiting at the hotel for the shuttle to the port!:D:D:D

Jim

Hope you have a wonderful cruise.

[PathfinderEss]

I don't know if Lou does the markings on the ships or not but guess what......now there is a blue dot where the Solstice is suppose to be docked. Thanks Lou...

She is probably down at one of the local shipyards...Getting a Horn tuneup!:D

I like your thinking Chief. Maybe McDaddy will tell us who the Captain is for this cruise on the Westerdam.............

Port Schedule on left side of the cam page........Just click and bring it up.
Pilot boat going for the Miracle, won't be long and the parade begins, :D:D:D

[aliaschief]

Port Everglades Web Cam Facebook Page gives a schedule. Always subject to change.

[aliaschief]

It's Time For Rehab..:D

[kazu]

ahhhhhhhhhhhhh - always learning, thanks!

[PathfinderEss]

It's Time For Rehab..:D
:D:DYou Think:D:D

[flashopper]

We just got a link from a friend of my sisters who is currently on the Amsterdam doing a Grand World Voyage. They will be in the Antartic for the next 5 days. What a dream trip. I just want to be on the water so we went up to Homosassa and took the boat ride. Somehow it just isn't the same.

No wang wang's for one.

[PathfinderEss]

Looks like the Ruby is tired of waiting...........pilot boat heading in that direction, leaving the Miracle.

[aliaschief]

Ruby Princess 0.5 knots..on Her way.

[flashopper]

I only have a picture of a really nice yacht standing still. Is it me?

[flashopper]

Nevermind

[aliaschief]

I only have a picture of a really nice yacht standing still. Is it me?

Wang Wang's can do that to you!:eek::D

[kazu]

at least she's blowing her horn a bit - I hope when our ships go when can see our cc'ers:)

[innlady1]

Wang Wang's can do that to you!:eek::D

OMG...I totally forgot to have Wang Wang's on the Maasdam....WHAT was I thinking??? :o

[PathfinderEss]

Wow when the Miracle came out, she was fast. Ruby had a happy horn today, I think.

[kazu]

Love it - people are waving Canadian flags:):) You'll see two hanging over our balcony if the web cam catches it when we leave in one month:)

[startwin]

That's weird - no Carnival ships showing on the map and there goes the Miracle. Even weirder, we watched her go out on Friday. :confused:

[monina01]

there goes Solstice.....

[aliaschief]

OMG...I totally forgot to have Wang Wang's on the Maasdam....WHAT was I thinking??? :o

Maybe you did but just can't remember after having a couple! LOL:rolleyes:

[kazu]

That's weird - no Carnival ships showing on the map and there goes the Miracle. Even weirder, we watched her go out on Friday. :confused:

that is weird - was she just doing a little 3 day or something? they do that sometimes:confused: but isn't that the Solstice moving out now?

[flashopper]

Miracle went out for a 2 day shakedown on Friday after drydock.

See not wang wangs here!

[PathfinderEss]

Here comes the Celebrity Solstice

[flashopper]

Innlady has the perfect excuse to book another Maasdam cruise. She forgot her wang wang.

[kazu]

Looks like Westerdam should put the Solstice to shame for horn blowing. What an awful horn:eek:

[PathfinderEss]

oh 7005 where are you:D

[flashopper]

I thought it was 7055?

[startwin]

They said both numbers!!

[flashopper]

Do you think that they are looking for pax or luggage?

[kazu]

calling for Nieuw Amsterdam now - I wonder if we will be able to see Himself?

[flashopper]

Did Himself say he would be on the stern?

[startwin]

Sounds like missing passengers. Do you think that was the NA that just asked for 1745 departure?

[lorekauf]

3 weeks from now I hope you'll see me:D.

[aliaschief]

Ho hum...zzzzzzzzzzz

[kazu]

Did Himself say he would be on the stern?

I thought so - I just hoped he had asked for a web cam to focus in

[aliaschief]

Did Himself say he would be on the stern?


Yes...Maybe he will give us a Blessing.

[monina01]

There she is....NA

[flashopper]

I hope so . I could use one right about now.

[bozemanman]

Did Himself say he would be on the stern?


Pretty sure he said he had a pax mass @ 5pm.

[Boytjie]

Two weeks form now it will be me onboard :)

[startwin]

There she goes!! Bon Voyage Himself :)

[PathfinderEss]

See the Westerdam sitting there looking so majestic
:D

[luvtwotrvl]

According to Himself, He will not be able to wave to us due to leading Mass.

David

[josie724]

WHEW.....just made it....

[flashopper]

That's OK I am sure he knows we are watching and thinking of him. I am also pretty sure no one can see us waving back at the ship. How many of us do that> I know I do.

[kazu]

See the Westerdam sitting there looking so majestic
:D

She definitely is - no argument from me:)

[PathfinderEss]

I think McDaddy will be on the stern of the Westerdam today, waving away.

[Krazy Kruizers]

We lost telephone and internet around 6 AM this morning -- just got it back.

Now I see the web cam is down.

Can't see anything.

[innlady1]

5:00 PM and the Nieuw Amsterdam is on the move!

[flashopper]

KK refresh your screen

[kazu]

We lost telephone and internet around 6 AM this morning -- just got it back.

Now I see the web cam is down.

Can't see anything.

The webcam is definitely up KK - must be your internt? hit refresh and try again.

[Krazy Kruizers]

Still can't see anything.

[Krazy Kruizers]

Opened a new window -- now I can see and hear the Neiuw Amsterdam.

[aliaschief]

Oh Jimmy Maddox play me my favorite song. Smooth sailing my friend.

[PathfinderEss]

There she blows

[Boytjie]

She's calling me!

[Krazy Kruizers]

She was moving fast -- not too much of a whistle.

[josie724]

really liking the new webcam sooo clear

[josie724]

She was moving fast -- not too much of a whistle.
I thought so too...very fast

[Boytjie]

Here comes Allure and the Atlantis charter.

[flashopper]

The Behemoth is backing up.

[PathfinderEss]

Here comes the "big" one

[flashopper]

LOL coming from someone in Orange Co, CA

[PathfinderEss]

Now the Westerdam is free to move..........

[Krazy Kruizers]

Looks like RCI is next.

[kazu]

The Behemoth is backing up.

You described that very well :):)

[erewhon]

KK, am pleased that you now have access to the website.

I have also been watching the Port Canaveral and New York webcams.

[IRL_Joanie]

Sheesh, such a long wait for Westerdam:( Wonder how 7005's fellow passengers feel about his/her not showing for Life Boat drill and holding them up from leaving??

Joanie

[PathfinderEss]

LOL coming from someone in Orange Co, CA
Hey we don't have anything that big:D

[flashopper]

Takes a lot of space to move something THAT big

[aliaschief]

According to Himself, He will not be able to wave to us due to leading Mass.

David

Welcome back David. Computer fixed? Thanks to DW for continuing the Daily Fleet Report.

[flashopper]

Also I thought that was how you refered to earthquakes.

[PathfinderEss]

Westerdam is firing up..........

[flashopper]

Seeing this huge ship on a 55" screen is amazing!

[startwin]

testing.... my posts seem to have disappeared while I was playing with a countdown clock:(

Oh, there I am.... phew!

[aliaschief]

MS Westerdam showing 0.5 knots! Let us hear your horns.

[PathfinderEss]

Also I thought that was how you refered to earthquakes.
Yeah, your right......

[josie724]

I wonder if McDaddy will wave to us.

[aliaschief]

Sound is Off.:(

[josie724]

I keep losing sound....lot's of viewers on, maybe that's why?

[Boytjie]

Boys, boys, boys :)

[Boytjie]

Too bad there is no sound :(

[josie724]

Sound is Off.:(

ahhh that explains it:(

[startwin]

The Allure is way, way, way too big for me! Beautiful ship though.

[mamaofami]

Just tuned in.

[flashopper]

Allure is so big she is above the the palm trees that usually block the view!

[josie724]

mama, did your phone turn up?

[erewhon]

Also I thought that was how you refered to earthquakes.

Please don't mention earthquakes,....... we have had far too many.

[Krazy Kruizers]

Have to go finish dinner.

[IRL_Joanie]

Westerdam Toots hers

Lou, where's the sound?? Says Sound Off on and HDTV on Channel 4

Joanie

[Boytjie]

What a difference in size (Allure vs Westerdam)!

[josie724]

[flashopper]

Sorry, are you in CA or NZ?

[luvtwotrvl]

Welcome back David. Computer fixed? Thanks to DW for continuing the Daily Fleet Report.


Thank you.
Yes, this is a new computer. The old one was very old, about 15 years old so I decided it was time to get a new one. Glad to be back.

David

[erewhon]

Sorry, are you in CA or NZ?

New Zealand

[aliaschief]

Yeah. Thanks for the sound.

[Boytjie]

sounds back on 4

Stupid question: can you select the cam? I am seeing #3.

[startwin]

I'm on 2... didn't know you could change it.... and I've had sound throughout.

[josie724]

I don't think you can change it, but that's what mine said.....but now it's gone again....

[josie724]

i just refreshed and got sound again,

[aliaschief]

Stupid question: can you select the cam? I am seeing #3.

During Sail-Aways the cam, sound and shots are all from the web cam operators.

[flashopper]

Luvtwotrvl, I understand from Chief we have you and your DW to thank for the schedules for our great sailaway therapy sessions.

Thanks for all your hard work. We REALLY need these sailaways!

[aliaschief]

IMO the sound was not changed from Harbor Master to live from the condo. Ship happens.:(

[PathfinderEss]

I never heard the Westerdam blow its horn? Did anyone hear..........:confused:

[erewhon]

Did the Westerdam sound it's horn?
The only sound I heard was music.

[kazu]

ahhh that explains it:(

my sound worked part time but kept breaking off - no horns :confused::confused::confused:

[josie724]

Luvtwotrvl, I understand from Chief we have you and your DW to thank for the schedules for our great sailaway therapy sessions.

[flashopper]

Now for some serious withdrawal. We are taking our scuba open water tests this week then heading down to the Vinoy for the weekend. Wasn't going to bring the computer but I don't think I can mke it that long.

What to do??? What to do??

Dr. Alias I may be in serious trouble!

[Boytjie]

Gees your right Chief, I have to get a life........... :eek:
See you next time...

[gentlemancruiser]

No horns and it didn't look like there was not a lot of passengers on board. I noticed there was no horns for the Nieuw Amsterdam or Allure.

[aliaschief]

Late Sail-Aways and early diners.

[flashopper]

We are really excited about this. Studying again tonight for review.

We want pictures like you have.

[flashopper]

Doug just noticed your snorkle position. Are you a leftie?

P.S. Don't you just hate smart a** newbies!

[kazu]

I really admire Himself. doing a mass when he's missing a sail a way. what a devoted man he is. I wish him and all on the ship smooth seas and a wonderful time:)

[RuthC]

I really admire Himself. doing a mass when he's missing a sail a way. what a devoted man he is.
I'd miss sail-away and celebrate Mass for a free cruise, too. Where do I sign up? :D

[kazu]

I'd miss sail-away and celebrate Mass for a free cruise, too. Where do I sign up? :D

I understood from some of his posts that he didn't cruise for free - I thought he did this on his own as he chose to?

[RuthC]

I understood from some of his posts that he didn't cruise for free - I thought he did this on his own as he chose to?
Tha chaplain isn't charged to cruise as he is working for the cruiseline. There's no cash paid for the services other than the ride.

[Boytjie]

Doug just noticed your snorkle position. Are you a leftie?

No... my OK sign is with my right hand. ;)


P.S. Don't you just hate smart a** newbies!

Yes :D

PS. Not sure what my snorkel position is saying about me.. :confused:
