Veendam Sailaway May 6, 2012 - NY to Bermuda

Didn't see a sailaway thread....so many cruisecritic chums sailing today...

Copied this info from Monina01 on Innlady1's (Sheila) "Live From the Veendam"...

I did two test sailaway's and figured out the best way to view the NY sailaway is as follows:

First keep an eye on this webcam. Note: not a streaming webcam so you need to refresh it every 20 seconds or so:

At the same time, watch the Intrepid webcam. This cam has two screens, the below screen in the streaming one and you see either part of the ship go by, or the wake of it. In the top screen the view alternates and you can see the ships as they back up. Right now as I am typing this I have a good view of Veendam

Now, as soon as the first and second webcams don't show anything anymore, you can close those windows.

After about 10-15 minutes, She should become visible in the distance in Lou and Daves webcam, if they zoom in on the place where she is to appear from. That's what happened last time:

After 15-20 minutes she should become visible in the Liberty cam, coming in from the top lefthand corner and moving towards the right of your screen. Make sure you click on Live streaming from the torch, to get the streaming cam!

Last week you could see the ship's simoultaneously in the Liberty and L&D webcam's.

She moves out of view from the liberty cam fairly fast, and then just watch L&D's webcam as they follow her until under the bridge.

Make sure to refresh the streaming cams ever so often.

The Intrepid webcam has a great view of the Veendam....but the camera only swings over that way every few minutes....

when the ships are moving out the Intrepid cam seem to give more views, I noticed.

Lou has the Celebrity Summit on their webcam right now..

On the other thread I mentioned that I would try to view the sail-away.

Had troubles the last two times with the NY cams -- even refreshing didn't help.

Look for Sheila and the flag we'll be waving. I'm.in black shirt.!

looks like Celebrity Summit is moving out...

Nice shot. Anyone know what time Veendam is leaving?

Will do. You have beautiful weather for a sail away today.

Summit is currently leaving. It was on the earlier schedule for 5PM, and I was assuming it would be out past the Verrizano before the Veendam got that far down but now it will clearly be out of the way before Veendam leaves. I just rechecked the port schedule and it says Carnival Miracle at 4 so sailaway action should now be starting. I couldn't find a time for the NCL ship. Hopefully, there won't be too much competition for the camera's attention as the Veendam leaves.

Just checked wired New York and NCL is on it's way.

My mistake. Veendam is still there.

Look on NY wired web cam 3. Veendam is pulling away now. She's almost out of view.

The Summit looks great.....such nice weather....

Sheila said they would be on the lower promenade deck with a U.S. flag........:)

Great view of celebrity now.

Will do....Have a great cruise, and hope the blow dryers are in working order :D;)

And I think you can the the Star on L&D's webcam, far in the distance
