The sick Oasis of the Seas has arrived in Port Canaveral.

 

On the news the other night - they identified it as Port Everglades - so its switch to Port Canaveral has even the locals confused. Or at least their graphics department.

 

I will be here for Oostie - I will be up close and personal on her next sailaway. 😄

I'll be watching the sail away!  My sister is on board the Oosterdam today!

I can no longer get the feed from Pt. Everglades, does anyone have and suggestions. 

I contracted Noro on the Ryndam, spent the night in ship hospital with Ivs. This was the sickest I have ever been and I am a RN who carted around the hand sanitizer, wash hands, etc. I think the previous passengers in our cabin had it because I found a note on one of the books with the hospital hours and phone #. My husband and I were confined to the cabin for the last 3 days of the cruise, it was awful. We went with family out of Tampa and had to drive back to Orlando after returning, I made it, barely. It took me a week to recover. I now wash down our cabin, remotes, etc. when we board, before handling anything. This is a terrible virus and you do not develop an immunity as there are so many strains. HAL did refund some of our trip cost and our insurance paid all the bills.

Good afternoon from a rainy L.A.

[lka1012]

It is cold and rainy here in Memphis. The dogs keep going to the door, when I open it, and the cold raindrops hit their noses, they look up at me as it to say, "Well make it stop Mommy"

We had drizzle here in Manta but it has stopped.

It rained when I walked my usual pups, afterwards I chased them around the kitchen trying to dry them off... Poor things...

Quick pop quiz; how many former HAL ships are still sailing as we speak? Can you name them?

[IllinoisGirl1978]

Ryndam and Statendam one was moved from P&O to another line

Yes, P&O Aussie, but there are two more, not counting hotel/museum ship Rotterdam V............

Actually, they're both with P&O at this moment.

Add Rotterdam V now a hotel in Rotterdam

Marella Celebration, formerly Noordam

Marella Dream, formerly Westerdam

and do we want to include Prinsendam, now owned by Phoenix Reisen?

 

Any other nominations?

You even win from far away, Roy! 

 

Yes, I was looking for Noordam III (Marella Celebration) and Westerdam II (Marella Dream), still operating for Marella Cruises. The former Nieuw Amsterdam III (Marella Spirit) used to belong to that group but is currently being broken up in Alang, India. The ship you're on is still HAL property until July this year and Rotterdam V isn't going anywhere

Which Princess will be first away? Royal at different berth today.

Copper, do you know if Nath is the actual SO on the Prinsendam or just a member of the staff?

Oh, and Pacific Eden will go from P&O Aussie to new owners, Cruise and Maritime Voyages, and will sail as Vasco da Gama for another German company, Transocean Kreuzfahrten in May this year
