Oh yes the mid week departures. I don't know that they repositioned this early for the European / Med cruises.

Thank you for the reminder.

Each year it seems the ships are leaving the Caribbean earlier and earlier.

Thank you for the reminder, hope to be here for sail away.

Yes, I think it is too early to reposition to the Med as well, but the Caribbean fares are low. Carnival and Royal seem to do fine with the family trade, but not so much HAL and the senior lines.

I am up waiting for her arrival.

Missed the K'dam sail in.

Veendam running very late, on the tracker she is even with Miami area and she is supposed to be docked now.

She's moving right along - maybe a search and rescue or some really bad weather - though I haven't heard of any. The waves are really splashing up in the channel and on the beach.

ETA: Port schedule has her arriving at sea buoy at 8:30 am

Thanks for the reminder.

Veendam is not arriving until 0845, hope to be here.

Maybe Easter and Spring Break being early - has something to do with it, also. JMO

Traffic shows Veendam jut south of PEV but a way off shore, so - 15-20 minutes until in camera view in channel.

A container ship first - I thought it would be Veendam.

I think I saw Veendam off shore of the channel when FLL-SE started panning.

Veendam just about to enter the channel.

Veendam just outside channel.

K'dam is doing some 'port side diving'

Veendam on PEV screen

Nice close-ups on PEV camera - as Veendam sails down the channel. With a tug following.

Good view of her 'ugly butt'

Nice zoom on the Veendam pulling in. I'll be here to watch her sail away this afternoon.

Allan

Something tells me she will not leave on time this afternoon - but she does have fewer pax - so maybe not affected that much.

PEV camera is doing a wonderful job this am.

Great pictures from the Port Everglades Webcam.

Hope no one has an early flight.

This is why I like my 4-star perk. I usually get off late, but if something like this happens, I can get off as soon as they call the 4/5-star, suite people.

Thanks to the camera person - that was great sail-in coverage.

Veendam now scheduled for 1700/5pm
