Correct-Summit. She just had a brief "tune-up" in the Bahamas, and is apparently picking up staff & supplies. No passengers yet.

Thanks to everyone for this thread. Now I understand why I keep seeing Nieuw Amsterdam.

 Noordam has not returned to service. It is being used as a quarantine ship for Holland America crew that test positive for Covid. If you watch the Marine Traffic app you will see the ship doing circles off the coast between West Palm Beach and Fort Lauderdale. The Nieuw Amsterdam which had a few charters canceled is doing the same circles in the Atlantic Ocean. The Carnival Liberty and Royal Caribbean’s Symphony Of The Seas are doing the same thing until they return to normal passenger service.

The Nieuw Amsterdam has staff aboard, both from Princess and from HAL.

The Nieuw Amsterdam has staff onboard because three consecutive charter cruises were canceled and rescheduled later this year. It doesn’t make sense to send their crew home if they return to service next month.

Checking in. Rotterdam scheduled for1600 and NS 1640 departures.

Checking in.  Looks like a cloudy and cool day at PE - only 64F...
