Only 1 other ship will be departing Ft Lauderdale today:

Liberty of the Seas

For our first time ever, we will actually be ON a ship instead of watching it leave. So excited to be boarding the Noordam and our Panama Canal cruise back to our home port of Vancouver. Since we had to cancel this cruise 2 years ago I'm also thankful our son is doing so well after his stem cell transplant. Life is good.

Where can we look for you? Have a great cruise...

Happy to join this and see where Copper will turn up today. Never know where he will pop up...

Have a great cruise. Glad to hear that your son is doing so well.

I hope to be here.

Bad storms are to move in this afternoon.

My husband (6'4") and myself (5'4") will probably do the sail away from port side upper deck close to the Noordam name. I didn't request a wave as we never really know where we will be!

My husband just found out about his surprise when we put our luggage tags on. I had secretly upgraded us from a Signature cabin to a Neptune suite! The king size beds are much better for his height.

We will look for Copper on board since my hubby is a retired police officer too. Would be nice to meet him in person.

Bon Voyage!

I am definitely going to be watching you today my friend as you and hubby sail away heading for Vancouver... AFTER your stop over in San Diego to pick us up!!!:D

Smooth Seas and Happy Cruising!!!

Almost forgot to ask before hitting the submit button.....Did your suitcase show up???

Joanie

Yes, it finally showed up yesterday thank heavens. I could survive a couple of days without it but certainly not a 19 day cruise!!

I hugged my suitcase when it came but scolded it for having its own adventure and worrying me!

Hope to be here. I certainly enjoyed the Noordam when we were on her in November. Wish I were sailing on her now!

Have a wonderful holiday! I will be boarding the Noordam in Vancouver for our 1st trip to Alaska.

Yippee!! See you in San Diego! :D

New departure time -- 4:35.

She has to load a lot of supplies for her long journey through the canal and up to Vancouver.

Thanks for the reminder KK.

Canadianbear, hope you have a wonderful cruise, will look for you on the upper deck, next to the Noordam sign. Glad you got your suitcase.

It was a very sad day watching the Ryndam leave yesterday out of Tampa for the last time sailing under the Hal flags.
