Checking in!

No toots?

[seagarsmoker]

Yep, no toots... 😞

Caribbean Princess video cut out just as she was approaching tooting zone.

[Denise T]

She must be grumpy. No toots.

X is moving

[St Pete Cruiser]

Well, so much for princess today.  Who is next?

[Happily@Sea]

And Ascent is moving - with a Zoom!

[Denise T]

Ascent backing up now. 

 

[Happily@Sea]

No PP for Ascent.

[rafinmd]

Not sure if it's for real but NS at 0.3kt.

Looking at the Ascent, I still find the bow and profile NOT to my liking.  I need to read more about the design and if it can handle the heavy seas that most Holland America ships encounter sooner or later.

[Denise T]

Toot. 

[ger_77]

To me it just isn't a pretty ship at all.

[St Pete Cruiser]

One early toot.

[Denise T]

Looks like NS up next.

Not too sure how I feel about the "balcony".  How do you keep the AC stable if the window is open?  Is there another door inside?

There is another door inside. I have heard people complain it gets rather warm though. 

[leerathje]

NS on her way.
