MS Eurodam,Nieuw Amsterdam, Prisendam Sail-Away, Jan. 5, 2014

[LAFFNVEGAS]

Good Evening a Little Cold Bird told me that the Prinsendam was still there and you were all waiting for a Late Sail Away so thought I would pop on and take a peek. She does look nice all lit up in Port Ever Glades.I take it they are also waiting for late arriving passengers.

Such a late sailing for the Prinsendam? Two weeks ago, I was on the Eurodam and the Nieuw Amsterdam and Prinsendam were with us in Port, just as today it seems. We left and the Nieuw Amsterdam was right behind us but the Prinsendam was docked for as long as I could reach with my camera's long lens. I thought it was odd but I guess not. She joined us the next day at Half Moon Cay. Have a couple of friends that were on it and got back home today but have not talked to them just yet, was going to ask them what time it sailed.

It's nearly 11 pm, has anyone seen a white truck at the Prinsendam?

 

She still has lots of lights on.

[PathfinderEss]

No, she was waiting for crew, but they should be on now. She should be leaving soon.:)

Appears to be no activity around the ship. I wonder if she will still sail on time.

[Scrapnana]

Somebody was dropping a line but that could be a cargo ship. Did not sound like the voice I heard earlier.

Still too many lights, it looks like a delayed departure. The lights must be out several minutes before sailaway to allow bridge crew's eyes to adjust to the darkness.

If they are still waiting on crew members, I wouldn't want to be them.:eek:

[PathfinderEss]

Maybe the crew members have not arrive yet......:)

[erewhon]

Is the Prinsendam embarking on a long voyage?

[sail7seas]

I just heard them give order to let go the lines.

[LAFFNVEGAS]

Welcome back, Lisa.

Thanks Roy :)

[sail7seas]

Maybe it is crew that is joining and their flights are delayed? Hope it isn't crew that are late returning from some time off. :eek:

 

[erewhon]

The port schedule now lists the Prinsendam departing at 2330 hours.:(

Is the Prinsendam embarking on a long voyage?
