Thank you for the reminder.

Unless Veendam leaves late, I will miss both Dam sailaways tomorrow.

 

Also K'dam on Wednesday - what a lousy week for sailaways for me. 😞

The Veendam just arrived.  Webcam froze on me so this was all I got.  I should be around for sailaway; I think dinner is 6:30 St. Maarten time.

Thanks for the information!

Celebrity's newest, Celebrity Edge is suppose to arrive at 0800 but got here early and is doing circles off the coast. We'll get a good look at her when she does her grand arrival.

[POA1]

Edge on the way in. You can see the spray from one of the tugs to the right of the frame.

Wait until you see the bow.

 

[ski ww]

Well she made a great entrance. Don't think I've ever seen a bow like she has, that's different. What's that orange thing, an elevator that goes up & down?

[POA1]

Here's the bow. It's like an office building. 

 

[POA1]

Hopefully this will upload. The thing that is on the starboard side is a lounge / entertainment area, according to an article DW read. It can be raised and lowered. 

 

It also does a disco light show. Don't know if you got to see it on the webcam or not. 

[POA1]

Sorry the disco lights video of the Celebrity Edge is only 3 seconds long. I wasn't sure of the video file size limit and I didn't want to waste time uploading a longer version to YouTube.

An artist's concept video of the "Magic Carpet" on the Edge.

Titanic had a bow like that, I guess the design is making a return for some.

This is a lot rounder than the Titanic's bow.  It kind of reminds me of a cross between an X-Bow and a Straight Bow. (We get a lot of side views of ships as they pass by. )

I have seen neither bow in person so I'll take your expertise on this and thank you. When I saw the straight bow on the front, it reminded me of pictures of the Titanic. Thanks for the link.

From what DW tells me, this bow style is the wave of the future. The new RCCL behemoths and Carnival's upcoming new big ship will sport this style.  It will definitely give more room along the waterline.  There's a bulb on the bow, like you'd normally expect, but it's below the waterline.  We could see it, but we're looking at the ship from around 120 feet in the air.
