The gang way is still in place and I am going to bed. Good night my friends.

It's ok Mamaofami, the west coast will cheer them out tonight! :)

 

PathfinderEss and I are here; maybe more?

 

Yes, we'll cheer them out tonight. :D

Chief have a good rest tonight, safe travels to Seattle.

POA, you like to stay up late, don't you.

.....and Vict0riann is going to hang with us.:D

[PathfinderEss]

Are they still working on muster drill?:eek:

[Vict0riann]

Definitely hanging :D Nothing happening on the ship - her bow is still all lit up, so we'll know she's getting ready to go when her bow goes dark! Hopefully soon. I hope everyone is finally on board and fed!

Departure now showing 2am - 6pm here.:D

Just got an e-mail from Cruisinetta but it was written an hour ago; she said no muster yet.

 

Might have happened by now though; I lost the cam and haven't been able to get back in yet.

We just finished muster and people were still boarding. In spite of the delay, there are not many people complaining. Our paperwork says we will depart at 12:00pm. Hahaha

 

We have been offered champagne with dinner, $50obc, and 15% of fare paid on this voyage towards future cruise. Tomorrow instead of hmc we will have pool party and free bloody mary or mimosas.

 

This sailing is definitely off kilter but we are on vacation and my time with my honey will not be spoiled.

 

Ship looks great from the limited time we've been here.

 

Ready to crash and not sure we will be awake for sail away. Zzzzzzz

I'm pretty sure it did. We heard the abandon ship signal at around 10:30 PM. It was the PA and not the horn.

Don't know if I'm going to be awake then! HAL seems to be doing nice things for the cruisers, hope everything goes smoothly from now on. Maybe they are still loading yummy lobster tails!

Reminder to self. Never book a post dry dock cruise.

 

Nor the 2nd post dry dock cruise. Ours on the Maasdam in January was not that great.

What a great attitude! Enjoy your time away.

I will be watching your sailaway now set for 2 AM.

Don't say that we're on her next week to Canada. Did a Prinsendam holiday cruise right after her Amazon cruise post dry dock and the crew said it was a mess.

They're now leaving at 12:30 AM...not 2 AM? Maybe I can manage to stay up another 45 minutes...or maybe not.

[erewhon]

Now the port schedule lists departure time as 0030.

 

Guess we have to wait and see:D

[KNOT2L82SAIL]

This is turning into an fun adventure. What time will she really sail? AND will the guys be up and about to work the cams for us???? :D

[Vict0riann]

I'm still here.:D I can stay awake for a while longer! I wonder if she will toot.

Would be great if they do work the cams for us:D:D

[KNOT2L82SAIL]

We need their number so we can call tell them that we are up and watching the sailaway. LOL Oh, I am so bad.

[mllewis48]

Oh I think they will work the cams

I have my doubts that they will be awake to operated the web cams. Tooting, no tooting.

[mllewis48]

Probably no toots too late, might wake up the condos

[KNOT2L82SAIL]
