Nieuw Amsterdam & Westerdam Port Everglades Sail-Away Mar 24, 2018

I THINK Eurodam and Neuw Amsterdam will fit through the old canal (pretty sure they're twins of QE and QV which do) but the new ships would have to be the new one. I wonder if they'll clear the Bridge of the Americas.

Good morning Roy. Did you have a good breakfast in Lido?

A boat captain just said the NA is dropping her lines.

Pinnacle class ships are too big - won't pay the additional money to use larger locks - all passed on to pax. No longer an economical cruise.

[jhannah]

Toot one!

[erewhon]

Departure toot ?NA.

Good morning Roy. Did you have a good breakfast in Lido?

For the 2019 Alaska season, Princess is moving Royal Princess to the West Coast. In order to be competitive, one of the Pinnacle Class vessels may end up in that market as well.

[erewhon]

Lots of flags and banners.

[dfish]

Happy Cruising to the Nieuw Amsterdam.

[kazu]

Good toots.

 

Hope the Westie wants to regain her Queen of Horns title ;)

[erewhon]

The monster backing out.

Sounds like it'll be a long time 'til Westie gets under way. I'm gone. Thanks Peter, Lou, and Dave.
