Looks like she also is headed for the Freeport area, but not maybe to port there.

There's the Love Boat Theme!

[travelnap]

There are our Love boat toots.

[Vict0riann]

Love Boat toots!  Yay!

Staff, I guess, trying to make it look like a regular sailaway..

[Krazy Kruizers]

Love Boat Toots.

But, kind of sad too.

[ger_77]

It's great to see the crew out on deck for sail-away; something they don't get to do very often!

[ger_77]

An encore!

[leerathje]

And a second set of Love Boat toots, just for good measure!

Very concerned about ms. Amsterdam.  She has been in Australian waters for over a week.  Do you have any word as to whether she will be allowed to dock in Fremantle?  I know you are not in Australia, but I thought you might have some newer info...

I believe she will be deemed to be in Australia already.

Copper wrote a bit ago, that she may be heading for Cambodia...

A very melancholy sail away for me.  Just found this a few months ago, and now....I will certainly miss it!

For the next several weeks life onboard will be different for them and many others like them

[St Pete Cruiser]

Some of the people on deck looked like entertainers or family?  Must be strange to be on a huge ship with no guests.

According to AIS marine traffic it looks like Silhouette is headed for anchorage in Tampa Bay.  They are going to have ships parked all over before they get every ship parked.

They were all crew; there will be no family onboard

[rkacruiser]

Finally made it to this sailaway!  Internet connectivity issue; modem had to be rebooted.  That's a first for me.

 

Good to hear the Love Boat theme!

[St Pete Cruiser]

A Celebrity farewell toot?

[ger_77]

Just read on FB that the Covid-19 test came back negative, so everyone is now able to disembark the Niew Statendam.

As I say fairly chaotic. Seven Seas Navigator disembarked pax in Tauranga yesterday the bussed them to Auckland to fly out. 

Golden P. who were awaitng test results was stuck in Akaroa and is now heading to Melbourne. Azamara journey left Dunedin and heading to Auckland rather than Australia. Noordam still laid up in Tauranga.

I imagine a lot will have missed their flights...
