MS Westerdam Sail-Away-November 15, 2014

Hi Lizzie68. When's your next cruise?

Here to watch the sail-away. Hopefully she'll sail on time so I can get on to other things that need attention. Thanks for the link to the Key West webcam. Will be on MS Eurodam in two weeks and one day.

 

We will be with you on the Eurodam that week!

 

I am here and am hoping to get our dear friends to join us (on line) too. Told them about the Westerdam horns! They will also be with us on the Eurodam in a couple weeks! They live in WA and we all miss each other and are looking forward to this cruise!

Good afternoon Dam Cruisers. Thanks Melodie for the schedule.

 

Take a nap or toots is the dilemma?:)

Now Chief you know you will be listening to the toots.

Hopefully it will start on time today.

Yawn!

Checking in. Just need to get the sound working on the laptop. :eek:

For best effect it would be great if I could get this via my TV with surround sound :cool: but I haven't a clue how I could do that. :rolleyes:

I just woke up from my nap! I set the alarm on my iPad so I would not miss sail-away.;)

Port sounds are OK, but not as much marine radio traffic as usual.

Gees, your radio is working.:D

Maybe I spoke too soon. Hearing radio check messages from some ship. Oh, and there is a pilot's voice and then someone else from a ship.

Black smoke from the Caribbean Princess.

There's a safety drill happening.

I am still trying to figure out how to change from the left speaker to the right and back so I can hear more of the condo noise at sail-away. I was given good instructions but my laptop is not set up in the same way.

 

I see we are going to be missing each other in Southampton by a couple of hours again. Do you know Maggiemou who will be on the Southampton-Hamburg-Southampton cruise with you?

BTW any West Coasters that hanker after a slow boat to Hawaii. Our Dec. 2 Circle Hawaii has dropped prices significantly.

We may miss each other in a southampton but we can make up for that in April
I don't know Maggiemou. At last look there were only us and one other couple on the Roll Call. :rolleyes:

It's a beautiful day in Fort Lauderdale today. Hopefully more the the same tomorrow. Just sitting here watching the ocean:)

Caribbean Princess is a nice ship.... she paid me and my FIL to take a cruise on her back in Sep. of this year to the Yucatan Peninsula.... :cool: Edited November 15, 2014 by 0bnxshs

Yep. We sailed her in August and she looked fabulous. Great crew too. She is all fixed from her stay in Philadelphia. It's be our 3rd trip on her, more by accident than intent, but we are looking forward to it.

18 days, getting back the 20th. But you can always linger in San Diego. Just checked. Insides are available for under 1k for 18 days! Outsides not much more. Edited November 15, 2014 by shrimp56

What a fantastic day here in Fort Lauderdale for a sail away! Wish I was going. Tomorrow we are doing a Bon Voyage Experience on the Regal Princess, so that will be nice. Edited November 15, 2014 by metairiegal
