I am up very early to capture pictures for a firend on the Westerdam. Some may know him Nurse George:)
Looks to be a beautiful non rainy morning for them.
Here is a real time photo I will post the pictures I have captured later.

Must be too early for me, now that the other ship is getting into the locks it looks like a Celebrity ship now, no side art works:confused: :o

Say Hello to Nurse George for us!! He checked in our roll call for the 5/11 sailing to Alaska. We want to see him at our meet and greet 5/12 11 am in Crow's Nest - if he isn't busy at work!
Can't wait to see the pictures. Thanks for posting them.

Thanks, Lisa. Shouldn't be hard to find him on the ship to say Hi to. He looks very smashing in his whites.

Thanks Lisa! Always awesome pictures! We hope Panama Canal is one of our next cruises. My twin Jude and her partner John that you met on our Alaska cruise in Sept. 2007 are looking at a Med. cruise in October. We hope to see you and Tom and other CC members on future cruises. I really enjoyed our meet and greet in your suite, thanks again.:)
