I think Stein sent out a E-mail to the Captains last night.:D

[KNOT2L82SAIL]

Thanks Chief. I wonder if they only do the Love Boat as they leave here? No matter. Love it.

And Nieuw Amsterdam.... great job with the toots too.

I am a happy addict now. Got my fix! ahhhh

If he did, it certainly worked. That was a double WOW especially after the last two days of silence.

Brand new ship...latest technology.

[Scrapnana]

Was that just more from her?

Possible HAL tune for the newbuild: the opening notes of "Sailing" by an artist whose name is, I think, Christopher Kraft.

The Disney ships play their horn songs every time they leave a port. And, if they pass another Disney ship while at sea, the ships play a battle of the horns.

Was this the pink towel (although it looks orange to me)?

The Nieuw Amsterdam went out right behind the Royal Princess. She cast off her mooring lines before 4:15PM I believe Mass is art 5PM so the priest could watch the sail away. I hope that is true in two weeks.

yeah that looked orange to me as well.....but I could not spot anyone else waving

[FONT=Comic Sans MS][SIZE=4][COLOR=Blue][B]Lisa, how is Tom? And HOW are YOU faring? I know you are probably run ragged but hope you are doing ok?

Yep, our Capt Henk has returned to prove that the Horns have not been quieted by anyone except untrained Captains:)

I counted at minimum 66 toots from Eurodam and 10 (some super super long) from Nieuw Amsterdam.

Got to say I think I was MORE impressed by Royal Princess Playing "A Time For Us" on her horns:) Now THAT was awesome:)

We were on the Fantasy and passed the Magic or Wonder and there was not a peep from either. We could see her but maybe we were too far apart for a battle of the horns.

Three weeks for us Father. Wish we could have met you. Have a great cruise and thanks for your Service.

[Scrapnana]

Here comes Seabourn. Wonder if she will have anything to say.

Great that you joined us Joanie. Welcome.

Loved that BIG HAND waving from the bridge. The Captains and crew I have talked to are well aware of the web cam.

Nieuw Amsterdam has a really raspy voice! But I enjoyed all the tooting. DH came in and made me turn down the volume! Spoil sport.:)

Three blast Allure is all that is left. Maybe She will succumb to the Dam pressures.
