The NS is moving at a good clip compared to the behemoth that just passed us.

That is one big ship! I looked and passenger capacity is 6780!! That's way too many people for me! 

 

 

I would agree, about 4,000 to many for me.

Toots!

The Princess ships DD DH and I have done were in the 3000-3500 range and I felt they were almost too big. Give me the Eurodam or Westerdam at about 2000 and I'm in my happy spot!

Toots were long and strong.

Still moving at a good clip.

Not many toots but better than the last few BHB departures.

It's a charter, isn't it?  I can see so many people with matching lanyards.

Wishing them all a wonderful cruise.

Thanks to all my fellow addicts, to our cameraperson and an extra thanks to Leanne for the thread and pictures.

Ruby is blowing her nose.  Sounds like she's congested.

[JazzyV]

Thanks all.

[travelnap]

Thanks Leanne and the rest of the addicts.  Have a good night all.

Just one toot from Ruby.  Thanks Leanne, Dave, and fellow addicts.
