Have a great sail-away, everyone!

Rain still going strong early am. Hope it calms down for The Oosterdam Sailaway!

Thank you for the reminder.

Should be here for the sail away.

I can see the Veendam from my room at the Embassy suites.

It’s cloudy and about 68 here now.

I requested a wave. I plan to be on my balcony portside , 1st deck of verandas.

I have a white flag to attach to the railing.

Thanks for the reminder - hope to be watching!

I’m currently waiting to debark the Oosterdam. I’ve gained a million pounds. The staff was fantastic, the food was delicious. I wore shorts in January, got sunburned, had real Mexican food, and a good Margarita.

Walked through with my bottle of wine, no one stopped me .

That's what you would call a meager ;) day for cruise ships in PE today; only VEDM and, behind her, Pearl Mist in town

I will try to be here - Dr appt this afternoon.

Checking in.

Just recd a flyer in the cabin, they are in the process of transitioning shops on select ships to include more iconic and local products. Including Veendam.

Bottom line. The shops will be open this evening for a few hours and will be fully closed by the end of the day on Jan 12 and will remain closed for THE REST of THE VOYAGE !

Special close out offers tonight.

Just a quick reminder on that form. There's a 7-day deadline for submitting it so not a big rush yet but will be happy to have it accomplished.

Erewhon, you are set.

I'm back - let the mini-parade of one commence. :D

Thanks Roy, looking forward to it. At this stage it looks like a full house at Pt. Chalmers with Sun Princess and a container ship as well as Crystal Symphony.

Looks like she is almost ready to leave.
