Nieuw Amsterdam in Port Everglades on October 23, 2023

[leerathje]

So, this is a bit different….Due to an azipod that needed repair, ms Nieuw Amsterdam arrived on Saturday, so this will be a sailaway only.

 

ms Nieuw Amsterdam is at pier 19, departing at 8:00 am, and she is leaving on an altered itinerary, now a 5 day Caribbean.

Next up:  Nieuw Amsterdam and Eurodam on Saturday, October 28, 2023.

One of the pax on board reported the captain said 8:30 am tomorrow, so maybe adjusted by the morning. I'll still plan for the top of the hour anyway,

She’s getting ready to leave. Nice closeup on the webcam. People are out on the bow.

She moved ... and then stopped.  She may be waiting for uncoming traffic to clear ?

Just walked in from my morning walk.

She had a little traffic to avoid.  Hoping all aboard will still enjoy this shorter cruise.

She is moving.

Toots!

[rafinmd]

Great toots, sadly about 36 hours late.

I have such memories of Nieuw Amsterdam. I will sail on her sister ship in 2025. 

[rafinmd]

I guess nobody onboard is sleeping late.

And she's gone.   Two threads for one port call might be a first.  Thanks Leanne, Lou & Dave, and fellow addicts.

I hope when PTZ says the webcam on the Pier 66 hotel will be back online in 2024 they don't mean December 2024!  I miss that view!

 

So nice to see this unusual morning departure and hear so many nice long toots!

[Happily@Sea]

I slept in too late. I did get to see the last few seconds of her sailaway.

 

But I did need the sleep. Thanks, Leanne, for the threads.

 

We get the Signature sisters on Saturday.

I also miss that view.

I wonder if it was the seal on the azipod like the Nieuw Statendam experienced last April 2022. That was due to inactivity during the Pandemic which allowed  sea life to burrow into the seal thus leaking.

I've been wondering about that view.  I watched Rotterdam go out yesterday and would've appreciated that view for the basin turn.

I was on that sailing of the Nieuw Statendam in April 2022.  Not only did they replace the seal, but it didn't hold and they had to do it again.  We left a day late on a cruise that had already been been shortened by two days due to scheduled maintenance on the azipod.

My favorite HAL ship, unfortunately we had a pretty lousy cruise on her last December with bad food and entertainment. 

[KAKcruiser]

I agree.  We sailed in November and it just seemed that things were off with service, etc.  Also, the ship seemed to be in need of maintenance.
