Thanks for the updates, Kathi.

Marine map identifies it as 'Royal Clipper'

Independence OTS which was originally supposed to be the last one out is now scheduled to be the first out - at 1630.

[travelnap]

Checking in.

[Krazy Kruizers]

I see that the schedule for the Oosterdam is now 5 PM.

 

I won't be here for her sail away -- grilling time.

When I click on that, the screen remains blank or should I say blue.  There is nothing there, neither twitter feed nor map.

 

Mine has been doing that for a couple of weeks as well.  I just click on the link  as mentioned above, and it usually opens up both the twitter feed and the port map, but sometimes it does take a while.  Other times they pop up fairly quickly.

Wishing all the Oosterdam passengers a great cruise.

Independence of the Seas is singling up so the parade should start soon.

[Scrapnana]

Finally, some action!  Independence singling up.

Pop Quiz; Rotterdam, Amsterdam, Zaandam and Volendam all belong to HAL's "R"-class however, easily could be sub-divided into two different classes. What's the primary physical difference between these two "sub-classes?"

[Happily@Sea]

Since I was Juneau cam [where we had 3 of the 4  'R' ships]  - I'll let someone else answer this.

[travelnap]

Another early low rumbling toot from Indy.

[Copper10-8]

Bet ya going down that water slide in the back will be interesting

[rkacruiser]

The funnels on the Amsterdam and Rotterdam are different from those on the Volendam and the Zaandam.

[travelnap]

I think the web cam operator on the PE cam dozed off.  I take it back, he just woke up.
