Peter, thanks for posting that site for the sail aways. Just viewed my Maasdam 1/13 shots for the first time.

Joanie, Welcome back. Glad to hear your back from you appointment. See one of the last post last page!:D

 

Front lines are gone!!! She should be leaving soon!!

 

I got caught up in reading all the posts now

 

But that is weird, I do not see anyone moving on the ship anywhere:confused::confused::confused:

 

Going back to full screen of my next ship:D:D

Thanks, Joanie. Yes, my grandson's name is Ami and he calls me Mama. His mother is celebrating her birthday.Weather is so awful here tonight so we changed dinner to a different night.

When I watched the replay of our sailaway it was interesting to see very few people lined up along the sides of the upper deck :) We had a big Bon Voyage party of the Lido deck aft and most people were there.

Now I just showed it to Jim! He said "Amazing"!

Still a pretty sunset - hope Noordam sails soon.

[mamaofami]

Judy, Sam just watched it too. Seems like ages ago.

[cruisinjudy]

Carol, yes so long ago. It has been cold here! Well not like the east but compared to the Caribbean!!

[Koshlong]

Does anyone know what that flashing light along her forward hull indicates?

[Koshlong]

And she's off!

[mamaofami]

She's moving.:)

Het Marnie!! I was wondering about those and the Emergency lights mid ship......

 

Oh well, Looks like she is leaving now!! I HOPE!!

[aliaschief]

And she's off!

 

You won! The first post that She is finally on Her way. :D

I am surprised to see the Noordam leaving so late. Is this sailing a Charter?

I have Tom here he has never see this before so we are watching it together. :)

Thank You!!!:)

I think they are leaving late due to extra deep-cleaning after previous cruise when Noro was reported.

Tom & Lisa, She was delayed because of Clean Down for She had Noro cases on-board last cruise.

Always nice to see the Dam Ship lit up at night. Something we don't see when on-board unless we are passing another ship.

[fatcat04]

Okay I didn't miss it... whew. :)

[Koshlong]

Yep, I do win! And the prize is that I'll be another one who is boarding her the next time she docks at Port Everglades.

Thanks, I had not heard that. Tom works on Saturday and Sunday so he misses this. Somehow I do not thinkg that the Noordam will give quite the Horn Blowing show as the Westerdam does. :D

[aliaschief]

If we were on-board we would be getting ready for a cocktail in the Oceans Bar and then off to the Neptune reception before late fixed upper seating. Hmmmmm! We miss cruising!:(

May be quiet horns due to the time of departure.

Noordam looks beautiful sailing after sunset - one of our favorite dam ships:).
