Sunday, December 15, 2013 - Nieuw Amsterdam Sail-Away...

[kazu]

Somebody has passengers arriving at 5 from the airport. Weather related delays?

 

most likely - I am actually surprised at how many flights are going today.

 

None out of here and 1,000's cancelled yesterday so some are very lucky indeed!

[Scrapnana]

That's why I said Scrapnana should be official photographer for the roll call!

 

Screen captures are easy on the iPad. I have to admit that I take many, many pictures on a cruise.

[gentlemancruiser]

Can anybody tell which ships is waiting for their Air/Sea passengers?

[mamaofami]

. Lots of flights delayed and cancelled.

Normally I would have made a comment about flying in a day early but these people might have had reservations for yesterday or even before. As much of North America as this storm affected there is no telling.

[gentlemancruiser]

I see Royal Princess is now sailing.

[Vict0riann]

Royal Princess on the move. To toot or not to toot, that is the question - at least there's music!

 

Gotta love those toots!

so true

[Chelly]

just woke up to the toots

[kazu]

Listening to Royal Princess is enough to make me give Princess another try :)

[gentlemancruiser]

what a horn. I think they might need some fine tuning……

[erewhon]

Three beautiful renditions of the "Love Boat" theme.

[innlady1]

Listening to Royal Princess is enough to make me give Princess another try :)

 

"Love...so patient and true...come on board...we're expecting you..."

Isn't that how it goes? I keep thinking they're going to finish the song....lol!

[Scrapnana]

I would have thought that the Love Boat theme was automated - push one button and it plays but each time they play it, it sounds a little different. The first time each week always sounds off-key in places to me (and this is from someone who can't carry a tune in a bucket).

[Vict0riann]

DH made reservations at the Pinnacle for our anniversary next year at the old price. Yay!

[Scrapnana]

"Love...so patient and true...come on board...we're expecting you..."

Isn't that how it goes? I keep thinking they're going to finish the song....lol!

I always want them to finish it, too!

[kazu]

Well, it is nearly 6 pm here - so although Master Marley did not send good enough vibes today - he still has to fed ;)

 

I'll try to slip back later but for the time being the dogs have to be taken care of.

 

thanks Sheila for starting the thread and to Lou and Dave for a great webcam as always.

 

And of course to my fellow sail a way addicts who make this fun:D

 

signing off for now from our snowed in part of New Brunswick - as the snow keeps coming down!

[Vict0riann]

I would have thought that the Love Boat theme was automated - push one button and it plays but each time they play it, it sounds a little different. The first time each week always sounds off-key in places to me (and this is from someone who can't carry a tune in a bucket).

I was wondering the same - if they just push one button, or if they play the music! I imagine it's just one button, but the horns have to warm up!

 

I think I had better get on with things, too. Can't spend all day dreaming about cruising! See you next time, and thanks all, and Lou and Dave.
