Now THAT'S some tooting

[rafinmd]

Well, NA beat the Eurodam in quality, if not yet in quantity. Sheila, your ship is doing great.

Nice L-O-N-G toots, NA. Good job! Nice and crisp and clear too. :D

[PathfinderEss]

Very nice tooting, wow and more........6 total, very good Nieuw Amsterdam.

That looked like a house flag someone had in the aft area there!

[seadrifter]

Good toots NA. Well done!

[Scrapnana]

Best tooting of the year (so far...)

[LAFFNVEGAS]

That definitely was some excellent tooting :D

[mamaofami]

That I heard, and it was music to my ears too. Great shot of her cabanas.

 

Night all. Getting ready for a wine and cheese party at our new place.

 

Thanks Roy for doing this for Chief, thanks to Lou and Dave, and see you all next time.

And as she sails off into the sunset (well actually she is sailing away from the sunset) I must go and meet some friends. Toot-a-loo!

[monina01]

well....this has been totally great!

Thanks Roy for hosting the sailaways!

 

Good night....time for sleepie sleepie :D

[KNOT2L82SAIL]

Thank you, ships, for the great toots. Thank you, sailaway fanatics, for a wonderful afternoon.

[LAFFNVEGAS]

Yes, thanks Roy for Hosting today, and I want to wish you a very special Bon Voyage for next Saturday :)

[seadrifter]

Thanks Roy for hosting. And we are off to a great fall and winter sail-away:).

[rafinmd]

I'm not sure if anybody (including me) will be back at 22:30 but it's been an awesome parade. Thanks all for the opportunity to fill in, and thanks Lou and Dave for the great cameras.

What a great sight to watch. Love that ship!

[seadrifter]

Roy, have a wonderful time on your cruises. Sounds spectacular:D.

[Vict0riann]

I must away, too - gotta cook. Very nice sailaway party. Thanks, all. See you next time. Roy, have great cruises! We'll be watching for reports!

[rkacruiser]

I think I saw a difference in the philosophy of a ship's Master.

 

The hatches to the bow's open deck on Deck 5 for the guests were not open on Nieuw Amsterdam; a hatch was open for the crew to have access to that area. I saw what appeared to be 2 crew members. There were many crew on Deck 4 at the bow, which is normal.

 

On the Eurodam, those same hatches were open for guests to access that area on Deck 5 and people were there.

 

When I was aboard Nieuw Amsterdam during her Inagural year, that open deck could never be accessed by us guests during a Caribbean cruise.

I'm not sure if anybody (including me) will be back at 22:30 but it's been an awesome parade. Thanks all for the opportunity to fill in, and thanks Lou and Dave for the great cameras.

Being a night owl I will probably watch but still have to get QM2 out of NYC.

[rkacruiser]

It has been a great sailaway!

 

Looking forward to many more in the coming weeks!

[rafinmd]

Not much of a vacation for the Chief. Looks like the Zuiderdam sails tomorrow.

I had to go sort something out so I missed the NA departing. Just popped back to say thanks so much Roy for hosting another great party, and to Dave and Lou, of course. See you all next time.:)
