[quote name='PathfinderEss'][COLOR="DarkRed"][SIZE="3"]Wonder what he will do for his last tooting on Saturday? Could be interesting.[/SIZE][/COLOR][/QUOTE]

[FONT="Comic Sans MS"][SIZE="3"][COLOR="Navy"]Today might have been his 'goodbye for now' toeters since the other captain is joining Monday. He'll still be onboard next SAT so you'll never know. Depends who's got the conn that day[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]

I was thinking that, as well. Westerdam won't be back in FLL until 2017 so he won't have a chance to do his thing for the condos and us for a long while.

Officially Methodist/Presbyterian but comfortable with most Protestant. Staying at Marriott Brooklyn Bridge. Was at First Presbyterian last time but would enjoy something earlier than an 11AM service.

Some problem with Carnival????[/quote]
Might have to transfer captain to another ship to compete.

Another great performance!
I'm confirmed on next Saturday's Westerdam cruise, but have not gotten room assignment yet. Booked a verandah guarantee , and still hoping for a port side room to hang my "Queen of the Toots" banner.

Nothing wrong with her horn. That was some fairly lusty tooting for any ship not named Westerdam. ;)

[Krazy Kruizers]

[quote name='RocketMan275']That's what I normally do but I just wanted to make sure I'm doing it right.

Wife and I really enjoyed that.

Only 70 days to our first HAL cruise and our first Westerdam cruise.[/quote]


[FONT=Comic Sans MS][SIZE=5]Stick to what you do normally for the tooting, etc.[/SIZE][/FONT]

Very true! Connie is one of the few ships (other than the two "Love Boat" Princesses) that give us more than the standard three toots.

That's it for me today. Eurodam and NA tomorrow. Thanks Boytie, Lou and Dave.:):):)

I'm confused. Westerdam is leaving FLL on March 12th for our PC cruise.

First Presbyterian in Brooklyn, I assume?

Even though I live in Brooklyn, my parish and my work place are both on the Upper West Side of Manhattan so I don't know the Downtown Brooklyn experience as much. Most bigger services in the city are at 11 am

Trinity Wall Street may be interesting and they have a 9 am service; 2 stops on the subway from the hotel.

[FONT="Comic Sans MS"][SIZE="3"][COLOR="Navy"]No worries! You're good to go with a different captain then today's. Westy has seven more departures from FLL in 2016 prior to yours[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]

[rafinmd]

Connie now up to 7.3 kt.

Correct on Brooklyn. Thank you. I think I'll stick with what I know.
