Nice toots from Caribbean Princess. Helped make up for Carnival.

another silent departure from Carnival. Princess next in the parade, hope she does better.

Carnival Sunrise next to go. Will she toot this week or another silent departure?

Nice long toots from Zuide.

Zuide saying goodbye to the NA.

Need a zoom on Zuide so we can watch her better.

More Toots. We may have a good tooting day today.

Nice long toots from Equinox. Good way to start the parade.

Checking in just in time for the Equinox.

Thanks for the pictures Roy.

Jacqui, I can't agree more. I did a TA on the Rotterdam out of Rome one year and just loved that library. The old Ryndam had a very good library too. I doubt if the new Ryndam will have anything close to a proper library on it when she comes out. Those libraries were one of the reasons I chose to sail on HAL and I do miss them.

Both Aquahound and Shmoo here are correct. I was on the Eurodam in early November and the "Library" is pretty much as they described. They do have the travel books and a few other reference books as Aqua mentioned along with some interactive tables with electronic maps that can be used to explore the ports. The port side is the swap a book area that you find on most HAL ships. There are two sets of shelves with books on both sides of the shelves as you walk into the Crows Nest. I like to read so I usually bring 6 or 7 books with me and then leave them on the ship when I finis

Thanks Kathi and the rest of the sail away addicts. Have a great week and a Happy Thanksgiving. Good night.

The two newest ships must have been detooted or something. We need to let HAL know that we are the toot fest club and HAL is letting us down this year.

There goes that last line and she is underway.

Looks like she is down to one line and is just singled up. She should be going shortly.

Looks like the Nieuw Statendam is dropping lines.

It just wouldn't be a HAL cruise without a Canadian Flag or two. Still waiting for some toots. Let her loose Kdam.

Kdam entering the channel. Will the NS be right behind her?

The usual low rumbling toots from the Behemoth of the Seas.

Kdam is underway and will follow out Allure.

Sounds like the Kdam is dropping lines. Just announced clear aft.

Allure of the Seas edging away from the pier.

Love Boat toots from Regal. They must have fixed that sour note that they had last year.

Regal Princess is on the move. Next in the parade today.
