Usual 3 gruff blasts from Oasis, and no response to condos.

[Seafoam Green]

She is definitely not graceful looking. Doesn't have a sleek look (which I like in a ship).

 

I agree.

 

My neighbor has been on the Oasis and now she's going on the Royal Princess - not surprised!

Connie pulling out.

I'm out - things to do:( See you all next time. May check in later to see if the Westie is still there.

Have fun Lizzie. Whatever you're off to do. 🙂

Don't work too hard Lizzie. I doubt I will make a 10 pm sail a way, but never say never ;)

[Scrapnana]

I heard lots of toots but not sure which ones came from Connie.:confused:

[Mumsysailor]

A few nice toots from Connie.

[Mumsysailor]

A muster competition perhaps. Who can get done first?

[Scrapnana]

Tugs ready to take Coral out.

 

Bunch more toots. Sounded like muster drill but they did it twice.:confused::confused:

[Scrapnana]

Good close-up of white truck on FLL webcam.

[Mumsysailor]

She looks about ready to go.

[Seafoam Green]

Quite a closeup of the white truck!

[Scrapnana]

Lines down. Tug in place.

[Scrapnana]

Darn internet cut out for the second time in the last 45 minutes! Doesn't it know there are no interruptions allowed during sail-aways!:D:D

[Scrapnana]

Harbor Master not happy with "Coral Coast" in the channel.

[Seafoam Green]

Harbor Master not happy with "Coral Coast" in the channel.

 

I can't believe he mouthed off to the harbormaster.

 

He is taking a lot of time to get out of the way.

[Scrapnana]

Six toots from Coral. Not bad!

[Mumsysailor]

This has to be the last on for us. 🙄

Early start in the morning.

See you all soon. 👋🏻

[Scrapnana]

Off to get a cartridge for my printer and have dinner. For those who are coming back at ten, I'll see you then.

 

Night, Mumsy!

[geoherb]

Thanks for the updates. We have beach neighbors on this cruise. I was wondering why the ship was still in port.

[Scrapnana]

"Westerdam set 2130."

[Lizzie68]

"Westerdam set 2130."

 

I might make it back after all, then. I wonder why the late departure? For sure there will be no horns at that time.:(

[Krazy Kruizers]

Remember what Boytjie said in an earlier post for the late departure:

I missed that! I went by the CruiseTimetables.com and Olivia websites which both list it at a 16:00/4:0 PM departure.

 

I think I have head of occasions when charters have a performer the first night of the cruise but they disembark after the show, hence a late departure.

 

I will be unable to be here for the sail-away as I have some church duties and then bar tending later at a party (gotta love Episcopalians).

[Krazy Kruizers]

My DH is already asleep so I don't know if I will be up much longer.
