The Port Everglades schedule shows the Royal Princess arriving at Pier 2 at 8:30 PM. According to the Princess board it is returning early due to medical emergencies. It is coming from Aruba and one would expect if it was such an emergency the evacuations would happen sooner and somewhere along the way.

Denise:)

I'm supposed to be on a beach but it is likely we won't be able to tender tomorrow so I might make it.

Hope to be there.

Thank you for the reminder.

Got up in time to watch her glide silently into harbour. Hope to be here for sail away.

Thanks for the reminder, hope to be watching the sail away.

Veendam in turning basin right now.

Checking in.

Harbormaster just stated 2 cruise ships would be clearing port about 1630/430, so it sounds like everything is still on time.

FLL camera is swinging so far north, you can see downtown Ft. Lauderdale :)

Somebody - not sure who - delayed until 1830

Possibly 'Pelagic Express', a cargo ship at #17

Right on the money ;)

?Departure toot.

Don't believe that was one of the cruise ships; that would make someone 30 min early. Pretty sure that was the Carrie B, acting big ;p

There are two commercial vessels coming out with their pilots communicating with each other; Overseas Nikiski and Green Fast

And a 15 min delay on Zuidy, according to her female pilot

More horns!

Did I hear 15 minute delay on Zuiderdam?

Also on Veendam?

Tug Vicki McAllister earning her money on Overseas Nikiski. Keep having to think about the Great Lebowski

Beautiful day for a sail away. Looking at the weather for where we used to live, this is a good day to be in Fort Lauderdale.
