Or wind, she did try to leave before.

Winds are now 20 mph gusting to 25 directly on the starboard foreward quarter which holds her against the dock.

And I think it is actually the thrusters that push them away. From what the Captains have said in their talks.

Maybe I'll start an azipod thread.....😁 hahaha

NA may have been the only one where this was a problem. Plus it looks like that rain squall has passed.

Check out the video of the Grand Celebration entering the port at Palm Beach.  Talk about a rocky ride.  Never saw anything like that, that close to shore,

[Krazy Kruizers]

Remember that I mentioned that she had 2 tugs this morning.

 

None of the other ships used tugs this morning or this afternoon.

There was quite a bit of rain at the Port of Miami about an hour ago; that squall--probably with wind--moved North.

[bozemanman]

Sorry but looks to me like something's not working the way it should 

[Krazy Kruizers]

The tugs are helping her make the turn into the channel.

Checking in just in time to see NA leaving. 

[mocruzer]

NA pulled out by the tug.

[travelnap]

Nice long toots from the Nieuw Amsterdam.

[mocruzer]

3 long toots from NA. 

[leerathje]

Well, she may need help getting out, but some pretty good toots!

 

L.

 

[Krazy Kruizers]

Wishing all the Nieuw Amsterdam passengers a great cruise.

[bozemanman]

She can sure toot tho!
