Did not realize we were back to Sail-away season. I have missed it and everyone here.

The Westerdam and a Princess ship - lot of toots and the Love Boat Theme - can't get any better than that!!

Lucky you! I will be here for my favourite ship, favourite captain - sailaway is always a treat with him on the horn.:D

Good morning Copper, thanks for the sailaway notice, should be around for the Westerdam tooting.

Nice to see some regulars returning;)

 

Hard to resist the Westerdam with the right captain at the helm ;)

After yesterday's silent departure from the Oosterdam it will be the best to hear the Westerdam remind me of the sound of the best tooting!:)

[Vict0riann]

I will do my very best to be here for sailaway (Fooled you, Autocorrect!:cool:). I usually stay at the hospital until after 1, but I will put my watch on my other wrist to remind me to leave in plenty of time. I don't want to miss any of the fun. It really is a darned nuisance getting old.:eek:

Hope you have a great cruise. Would you mind checking, please, on what the internet is on board? Last Spring there was a great deal which worked out at under $10 a day, just wondering if they are still doing that.

Unlike Wednesday, Westy is starboard side alongside today. Her staff captain, Geert-Jaap, must have wanted his sailors to do maintenance/wash down on that side. She's going to have to be thrown in reverse all the way to the turning basin on departure today. Backing up with no rear view mirrors ;)

Thanks for posting this Copper. It's how we know what we're looking at out our window. (Seriously.) The itinerary is a nice touch, too.

Sadly, only the Royal Princess and Regal Princess have the musical horns.

Lots of wild donkeys on Grand Turk Brian! ;) Looks like a bit nicer day compared to yesterday
