ms Nieuw Amsterdam Port Everglades Sail-Away October 23, 2016

[ski ww]

Will be there to watch her sail out. It's a cold, over cast autumn day here so it'll be nice to see sun & warm weather.

We are onboard and will be waving from the port side penthouse

 

Cheers

Now scheduled for a 15:45 departure - leading the parade. Subject to change, as always.

[sandij]

Go out on her in 86 days, good to see her in the Port so close.

Sitting in the terminal waiting to board her.

Someone on your Roll Call reported it was the worst embarkation ever. Any problem you're aware of?

 

(I noticed the Roll Call when I was looking at mine for next April so enjoyed reading this last few days' anticipation and excitement.)

[the2ofus]

My first sail-away of the new season. So glad I have an NA cruise booked, I was seriously into cruise withdrawal!

I have been listening as the ladies who work at the terminal have been talking over the radio. One of them earlier mentioned that the day had been a "fiasco" (her word). I have also heard some lost luggage reports, a missing person, and someone who needed to get an ID. :eek::eek::eek:

I can lurk again! As I commented on a sailaway thread last week, I'm unwilling to install the Flash Player (required to view the port webcams) on any of my working computers.

So I dug up an old laptop, cleared it out, reconfigured the browser to IE, and installed Flash. Now this laptop is dedicated solely to the sailaway thread. It'll never be used for anything else.

I'm glad to be back. Love to watch the ships and see what y'all are saying.

Glad you have found a way to join us. It is not only fun but educational!:D

[the2ofus]

Yay, Susan! Creative solution to a vexing problem.

Glad you fixed an computer and can now join the sail aways.

I see that Nieuw Amsterdam departure time has been changed to 4:15.

[Scrapnana]

Four people just checking in.:eek:

[Scrapnana]

Anybody else watch this site for sailing times? https://pevvesseltraffic.broward.org/webx/

 

I don't like the new format where you can only see two vessels at a time. On the old one you could see the whole days' arrivals and departures.

Does Apple require Flash or do they use something different?

If you are using an Apple phone or iPad, you can get the Port Everglades App that shows all days and all ships.

No Flash on iPads. It says "Mode:HTML"

[ski ww]

Got back just in time. Had to blow the leaves out of our eve troughs, we have our own fall colours up here. Calling for lots of rain over the next couple of days, wanted to get it done.

[Boytjie]

Checking in for my first Caribbean sail-away of this season. :)

[dfish]

[TiogaCruiser]

Checking in from drizzly SoCal. Its a good day for a sail away and sewing. It looks like some of you got a double header today:

Sail in and sail away.

OMG! So why do we folks with Windows OS have to install the damn Adobe thing? If Apple can get the site to work with HTML I wonder why we can't?

I envy you.

You do know you're going to have to do it again after all your leaves drop ;)

 

The joys of "Fall".

Which Windows? I'm running the latest version of 10 without a problem.

(I just checked and it is under Flash 23).
