MS Westerdam & MS Nieuw Amsterdam Sail-Aways 3/17/13

[aliaschief]

Eight cruise ships in Port! MS Westerdam and MS Nieuw Amsterdam are on the schedule to depart at 4:00 PM Eastern (DST). In fact the majority of cruise ships are scheduled for 4:00 PM.

 

So we will have to wait and see if the schedule changes. Your reminder to join us.

Good morning, Chief. I think they have to fill in the space for departure with a time so it's guess work on their part. Or maybe the ships request that time....when in actuality it's not possible to all leave at once.

Good morning Chief - I should be here for part of it at least -

 

Please remember to behave yourself today:D

[rafinmd]

Unfortunately (sort of) I will definitely not be around today. Instead of the awesome sounds of the Westerdam leaving Port Everglades, for me it will be the awesome sounds of Saint Saens and Poulenc on the mighty organ at the Myerhoff Symphony Hall. I'll certainly have a look at the thread when I get home, and hopefully the Westerdam will end up on Lou and Dave's archives.

 

Bon Voyage to all sailing away today.

Wow - 8 ships in port and the last time we will see/hear the Westerdam until the fall.

[496and706]

I'll be here. Unless I'm drinking tea.

 

Did anyone find out what was happening there yesterday with all those blinking lights? Did they find someone trying to take snorkel equipment or smuggling a pair of flippers in a backpack or something? Was everyone sober? Thank goodness is was around 3 p.m. and not 3 a.m.

It definitely wasn't flippers or snorkel equipment smuggling:D

[sapper1]

I'll be here too. I'll be sober. Promise.

 

Jacqui, my friends and your friends/neighbours will be on the Westerdam. We will have to look for them.

 

We have other friends getting on when it gets to San Diego for Hawaii.

[innlady1]

I may be here...but maybe not - going to our daughter's for dinner for St. Patrick's Day (everyone's Irish today!).

Wonder if she'll serve green tea? :p

[496and706]

I'll be sober, but I'll still be a hippie. :D

 

No tie-dye today because none of them have any green in them.

[dobiemom]

I won't be able to join the fun today, but want to wish everyone a Happy St. Patrick's Day!

 

[gigianne]

Sapper - and I too have friends on the Westerdam. They will be the ones waving the bright pink scarf!!

[monina01]

I'll be here. Oh no.....the last Westerdam sailaway until fall :(

[startwin]

Good morning Chief. Well you'll have an easier time of keeping control today because I can't be here:( But I sure hope it's as much fun as the past couple of days. Happy Sailaway, everyone.

I haven't seen Brenda in a dog's age (too cold for her and her dog I suspect).

 

I knew she was doing HAL but didn't realize it was this sailing.

 

Thanks Bobbie:D

LOL - we Canadians sure can be bad:p:D

[LordSpain]

The Westy is in an unusual berth today.

[496and706]

I can be very, very good. I can also be very, very bad.

 

 

I try to behave, but then someone makes me a tea or a rum and coke.

[sail7seas]

Hi,

Hope to be here for sailaways. :)

 

[aliaschief]

We will miss you.:)

 

A little bit!:rolleyes: LOL

[innlady1]

Change of plans...so I'll be here. Oldest granddaughter is sick with a temp. so we're not going to their house for dinner.

I was thinking the same thing. Don't remember seeing a HAL ship in that berth before. The Ruby Princess is certainly blocking the view on the webcam.

[mamaofami]

We have dinner plans with friends, but if the ship leaves on time, we'll be here.
