Sorry, I'm not familiar with "plowing" or a "snowplow" 

 

I envy you 😄

NA confirming 1700.

I'd never risk flying in day of. I'd like at least a day, maybe more before the ship sails. For our upcoming cruise, we will be in Fort Lauderdale with plenty of time to spare.

And here in Virginia very few people know how to drive in snow.  

 

We get that down here when it rains

[Krazy Kruizers]

Even Pittsburgh has cancellations because of Charlotte having so many cancellations.

When we lived in Maine, you'd still see people off the road or crashed following the first storm of the season. It's like people forgot over the three weeks which we called "summah."

Which one of the Princess ships will lead the parade today?

We always fly into the embarkation ports 3 days early.  But a few years ago that didn't even work for us.  Atlanta and Charlotte were closed for 4 1/2 days.  And we have no direct flights to anywhere.

I hope the Regal -- love to hear those "Love Boat" toots.

3 weeks (to the hour) since my last port of call.  Grandeur of the Seas again sailing off into a beautiful sunset in St. Maarten.

NA looks so small with all those huge ships around her.

[travelnap]

Love boat toots so the parade should be starting soon.

[Krazy Kruizers]

No one moving.

[erewhon]

Loveboat farewell toot.

[kazu]

Love the love boat toots 😄 

[Scrapnana]

For some reason I turned off the mic and missed the Love Boat toots.😞

Have you watched the Ashland train cam today?  

[travelnap]

No one wants to leave today.

Yes, they had their first freight through about 4 pm and regional #195 is due in about  20 minutes.

[Copper10-8]

So time for the pop quiz; which was the first HAL ship equipped with Azi-pod propulsion and for the bonus, what is she, the ship, named after?

[rafinmd]

I have Caribbean Princess on AIS at 0.1 kt.  I wonder if that's artifact or if she is starting to move.

[rafinmd]

Isn't it the Amsterdam, named for the largest city?
