Can't believe I just got off the Oosterdam a week ago...and now this is the last sail away for a while. Amazing how things have changed, lives have been upended in just one week.

Indeed a strange day. No more ships allowed into NZ. 2 ships in port here today and I woud guess a number of pax trying to get off.

[1ANGELCAT]

Do we know where NADM is heading to ?

[travelnap]

I wonder how many ships will stay in port and how many ships will anchor offshore.  It looks like the Equinox is headed for Freeport but the AOTS is headed for anchorage off PEV.

Wasn't sure anyone was watching today.  So many lives affected!  They even closed our condo pool today.  Curious where the ships are going for 30 days.

My thought, too.  All the ships just won't fit into port Everglades.  I envision them all lined up side by side, like some of the riverboats in Europe...

NA looks to be underway ?to where.

[Happily@Sea]

NA leaving.

[St Pete Cruiser]

Yes, she is away from the dock.  I'm going to watch.  Toots???

[travelnap]

Nieuw Amsterdam is underway, backing towards the channel.

[Krazy Kruizers]

Nieuw Amsterdam is backing up.

Initial reports were that they would be anchored off of Port Everglades...

 

[St Pete Cruiser]

I did a cruise to nowhere from Tampa my first cruise.  They just went out into the Gulf for 2 nights.  

[erewhon]

Looks to have lowered a lifeboat and now going back to dock.

[leerathje]

Is it my imagination or is NA heading back to the pier?

[Vict0riann]

Back deck looks empty.😢

 

Something has gone wrong!

Yep.

[richwmn]

Nieuw Statendam is going to Freeport for a "Wet Dock", no information on what work is to be performed

 

[Vict0riann]

Looks like she is just sitting there....

Can't decide where to go!

[Krazy Kruizers]

Tug has arrived to help the Nieuw Amsterdam.

[St Pete Cruiser]

No hurry to go anywhere.  Hope there is not a problem.
