Nieuw Amsterdam moving forward towards the channel.

Departure toot from Indy of the Seas?

[Krazy Kruizers]

Wishing all the Nieuw Amsterdam passengers a great cruise.

Indy of the Seas is underway as well.

The funnel of the Pinnacle Class ships is different as well.  For me, that is also rather distinctive as is the increased number of decks above the Bridge.

They also have only 1 smoke stack instead of the usual two.

 

Yep, but I tend to notice the missing black column up the middle first. I will remember that little fact too when I have only a stern or bow view. Thanks.

 

Number of decks of above the bridge isn't as noticeable - but still another feature.

That's what we've been waiting for . . . toots (but just one?) !!!!!

[Vict0riann]

Not as many people outside as I would have thought there would be.

Nice long toot from NA,  But only one, what's up with that?

[Krazy Kruizers]

No toots from the Nieuw Amsterdam.

Well we got a small raspy toot

That may have been a goodbye toot from Independence of the Seas.

Just 1 long one.  Kind of a disappointment.

It is also time for the first seating in the MDR...  Just  guessing...

 

[Happily@Sea]

She is doing a charter.

 

[Krazy Kruizers]

See you all tomorrow for the Nieuw Statendam and Zuiderdam.

[St Pete Cruiser]

Guess the Captain was busy with coronavirus issues and announcements.

[lka1012]

Probably will not make it tomorrow filling in for someone at work on the 6 am - 3 pm shift

5:15?  That's too early for us, even for early seating.  When we were on the Nieuw Statendam in January, because of the 5:00 and 8:00 seatings, we opted for anytime dining.  It worked for us.

 

Smooth Sailing!  🙂🙂🙂

I don't think so; it was too loud for a departure toot from the other side of the bay. 

 

BTW, what charter is on the NS right now?

 

[ger_77]

Now THAT's some tooting!!!

[travelnap]

At least we got three of the rumbling toots from IOTS today, otherwise not much of a tooting day.

[travelnap]

I am not going to wait for Island Princess.  Thanks Kathi and the rest of the sail away gang.  Good night.

JoCo 7 days.

I think that's it for me today; we're supposed to be getting a snow storm tonight, so it's time to hunker down.  Thanks everyone, see you tomorrow.

 

Smooth Sailing!  🙂🙂🙂

[Vict0riann]

I'm off, too.  Thanks all, and see you tomorrow.
