According to cruise ship tracker

[Krazy Kruizers]

I gather you are saying that she is heading to Boston???

[sail7seas]

This was already posted in two other threads. Perhaps they could be combined?

 

Veendam is en route to Boston. :)

Saw the Veendam going down the Delaware River from the Wilmington, Delaware area this morning at 11 am. I had to look it up since cruise ships are a rare sighting in this neck of the woods. I would have taken a photo but it is not allowed at my place of work. Enjoy your journeys!

She's almost out of Deleware Bay, making 14.6 knots, destination Boston

[PathfinderEss]

Great news, especially for the passengers doing her next cruise.

[PathfinderEss]

Good to hear she is repaired and on her way to Boston.

VEENDAM about to round Cape May and head up the Jersey shore. The other blue boat is the Cape May Ferry.

 

[Krazy Kruizers]

Always like hearing good news.

Great news!

Thanks for letting us know.

AIS now has Veendam directly North of the tip of Cape Cod headed directly for Boston at 16.7 kt, ETA 22:30UTC (18:30 Eastern time).

 

She would probably be docked if she could fit under the Cape Cod Canal bridge.

What a magnificent sight that would be, Roy (Cape Cod Canal).

I was pretty sure the Veendam wouldn't fit because I think it's taller than the Symphony. I was talking to Symphony's Captain one night and he confirmed Symphony couldn't make it. My second ever (1994) was on the Regent Sun and we went through the canal. It was very interesting.

 

You asked on the Bermuda thread about the tracking site I used. It's http://www.marinetraffic.com

 

Dave an Lou use the site's data in the little map at the bottom of their screens.

So if I have this right, the Veendam will depart Boston tomorrow at 4:00 pm, after which it will sail between a hurricane and a hard place. Should be interesting...fasten your seat belts.

[Jim Avery]

Being on the West side of the storm and many, many miles away, once out at sea, the Veendam should have following seas/winds. A day out, it looks pretty good.:D

[GTVCRUISER]

I cruise on the Veendam Nov. 8th 2014 to Mexico
