Nieuw Amsterdam and Zaandam Port Everglade Farewell Sail-Aways Apr 14, 2018

[erewhon]

Zandam now 1730.

[travelnap]

Looks Like Conquest will finally get the parade started today.

[rkacruiser]

Zandam now 1730.

 

After being in dry dock, no doubt there are lots of supplies to load. That all takes time.

[travelnap]

Didn't hear any toots from Conquest. Harmony next to go.

[Vict0riann]

Harmony backing up - she looks very top-heavy!

Or could there still be some dry dock construction teams still on-board?

[ski ww]

Those RCI ships are so big compared to the HAL ships.

[travelnap]

Harmony with her low deep rumbling toots like usual.

[erewhon]

3 toots from the Monster.

[rafinmd]

Harmony sounded a little less raspy than usual. I guess that's all for me today. Thanks Peter, Lou & Dave, and fellow addicts.

 

Roy

[Vict0riann]

Toots and a Canadian flag!

[travelnap]

Those RCI ships are so big compared to the HAL ships.

 

They're big compared to almost everyone else's ships. NCL has some big ones too but nothing like the RCI Behemoth of the Seas.

[erewhon]

?Departure toot from FOTS.

[kazu]

I just keep staring at the temperature! It is dreadful here in Southern Ontario - oh to be on one of those HAL ships!

 

Hope (but I fear) you are getting hit with the ice storm.

 

I guess we get it for 4 days next week :(. I'll take any warm weather FLL wants to give us in May ;)

You got that right for sure. Can't fathom being on those. I know lots like it but I don't want to be on a city on the sea :halo:

[rkacruiser]

Or could there still be some dry dock construction teams still on-board?

 

Hi Chief!

 

Had not thought of that possibility!

[aliaschief]

Hi Chief!

 

Had not thought of that possibility!

 

For the passengers sake; I hope not.

 

Hope all is well with you.

[erewhon]

Zaandam now 1800.

[travelnap]

You got that right for sure. Can't fathom being on those. I know lots like it but I don't want to be on a city on the sea :halo:

 

I totally agree, my idea of a relaxing cruise is not me, and 5,500 of my closest friends. The size of the HAL ships is plenty big enough for me to relax and enjoy. I don't cruise for the ship itself.

[rkacruiser]

For the passengers sake; I hope not.

 

Hope all is well with you.

 

I agree! The stories and pictures posted on line about the Norwegian Sun's guests recent experience of a "wet dock at sea" surely would not fit HAL's current slogan of "Savor the Journey".

 

I'm well; thanks for asking. Next cruises are the Royal Princess' 12/29/18 sailing and a b2b on the Nieuw Statendam sailing on 1/6/19.

 

And Mrs. Chief and you?

[aliaschief]

I’m pretty much multi tasking. What’s the sailing plan for Nieuw Amsterdam?

[aliaschief]

:D

Sue is out in Napa on business trip and the days are busy with New Orleans convention and the month of May in Kauai and Maui.

 

Woke up this side of the grass so doing well thank you.:D

[travelnap]

Departure toot from someone.

[erewhon]

Another toot. ?FOTS this time.

[travelnap]

Looks like Freedom of the Seas is underway, so the delayed parade resumes.
