Equinox in Port Everglades today!

[mac_tlc]

I miss watching the port webcams on the weekends. Here are some shots of the Equinox pulling into Port Everglades today. It was the last cruise ship we were on in January 2020. First Sky Suite. Loved Luminae. Sigh……..

Oh thank you for posting.  I live in Ft Lauderdale and just booked on Equinox next year so this made it feel like a real possibility. 

[mahdnc]

Thanks for posting, we have a cruise booked on her for next year. 

 

For anyone who wants a current live view, here is the Port Everglades webcam

 She is scheduled to depart at 5 this evening according to the port schedule. We are doing an Equinox cruise next April so I will be watching the port cam. 

[cltnccruisers]

Encouraging.

Love that ship, sailed on her once before, can't wait to get back on next year!

Equinox was our first Sky Suite as well.  It spoiled me.

Yes an awesome ship. Loved sailing on her and happy to hear that ships are coming into ports and at least being seen in ports.

It’s so exciting to think about cruising again. We got a cruise booked  on Equinox January 3, 2023. I know it’s along ways out but it gives you something to look forward to. We will be cruising before that hopefully!!!

Happy Cruising!

Thanks for posting the pix.  It looks strange to see nearly all the balconies empty of furniture.  I assume the ones with furniture are occupied by crew.

[cltnccruisers]

I imagine most folks would find these webcams about as exciting as watching paint dry.  I fond them to be very relaxing.

I see Edge has docked at Terminal 19.

It looks liked Edge is bringing on more crew. Several of the entertainers have posted in the past day or two as well that they are now onboard.

Looks like Edge is not departing PE until Saturday 5/22 @ 1700. 

 

Reflection is also in PE today, departing tonight at 1700.

 

They are joined by their cousin Mariner of the Seas.

 

Plus, there are 6 ships in Miami today and the Disney Fantasy is in PC. Been a while since the Florida ports had 10 ships in one day. Hopefully, lots of vaccines are being administered!! Good sign!

Cape Kate joins Edge again next week. She provides a lot of insight to what's actually happening onboard.

 

I wonder how many crew that have on so far. They are supposed to be limited to 50% right now unless they have their 2a agreements finalized. Maybe I'm being too hopeful, but it's possible they are staying in FLL a few days to get more crew on? If the rumblings from RCL and Celebrity hold true they are announcing restart plans any day now. Once the Phase 2a stuff is out of the way, they can finish staffing...

Thanks for the pics. So looking forward to boarding her for December’s holiday cruise.

Wouldn't that be great and I'm dying of curiosity to hear which ship is going to be sailing in Alaska waters in a couple of months! 😎

There is a elegance to the older ships that the Edge can’t have.   The ship architects should have found a better way to hang a bar off of a ship.   The color orange also sticks out like a bad blemish.   I am sure it is a fine ship to cruise on but that one side is very ugly.

Princess sure didn't waste any time announcing Majestic goes on sale tomorrow. We'll see how long Celebrity takes to follow.

The Edge tonight….. more cabins with lights on that I expected.

I think the lights spell "Screw U Coronavirus".  At least that's what I see--maybe it's a Celebrity Rorschach Test, I dunno.

For folks booked on the longer Equinox cruises in August and beyond, good news appears to be coming from the CDC.
