It is. Port Everglades has a dredging project on the schedule. If it goes through, I expect more large ships. The project is mostly for container ships, but a deeper, wider channel will impact cruising as well. 

 

Thanks for the hot tips this morning, Brian.........working on it!

KK, when you open a "reply" box, there is a ribbon along the top of the box - each letter or symbol is for some change or other  - B is for Bold, I is for italics, U is for underline, S is for strikethrough, etc., then towards the end of the line, A is for colour, and then there is a box for size.  If you click on that, you can go up to 72 for size (just scroll down the drop-down menu a bit).

 

I guess you have to set the size, etc., each time you post.

I don't have those options.  Just the B for Bold, I for italics, U for underlining, a silly thing for "link", '' for quote, the smiles, insert/remove for Bulleted List, insert/remove Numbered list and Preview.  No "A" for color or anything for sizing.

Ships in Aruba tend to leave a little early, hope that is the case today.

Am I missing something or is there no read first unread post at the top of a thread anymore?

[Happily@Sea]

POA1 has a thread about this - but it is the blue star next to thread title, on the main page.

Thanks!  I guess I would have figured it out eventually but you saved me some time.

Each page now hold 40 posts instead of old 20.

I don't have it either when I reply, KK.  At least, not on my Ipad.

But, when I started the Bon Voyage threads, it was there.  

But when I reply, nothing, nada, bumpkus.

Monarch leaving from Aruba, maybe cam will go back to NA.

Thanks for the heads up. Seems like yesterday Alaska season started. I always look forwards to Port Everglades season.

[fatcat04]

Yep, back on NA in Aruba.

It sounds like you are being served the medium toolbar. See my post here, and please let me know what kind of computer and screen size you are using.

OK, next dumb question.  I was quoting Jacqui and was going to answer but then I saw POA1's post.  Now I can't get rid of the entire quote (I can backspace and delete the text but not who I quoted) to make a new reply.  I tried closing the entire thread but when I opened it again the same reply box was back.  What do I do?

[SJSULIBRARIAN]

Nice closeup and it's raining in Juneau. (I watch that webcam year round). Will miss the sail away as have an appointment. Bon Voyage to all aboard the Veendam.

Pax gangway still connected

Green Fast looks tiny but Margarita looks like it might even be neoPanamax (40 meter beam).

Yes, MSC (same co, as the cruise line) Margarita comes in at 66,500 GRT, she's a big girl

[Copper10-8]

Oops; it's not MSC Margarita being moved but much smaller container ship 'Deneb J'

I'm not sure. It just sticks in there until you backspace over it. It's even worse if you added an image. 

You're "draft" post will even be there if you log out and log back in. Moreover, it will follow you from PC to phone and back again.
