MS Westerdam & MS Amsterdam-Sail Away-Jan 4, 2014

[erewhon]

Wow! There are 130 of us watching!

 

What is your local time now?

[rajkr74]

you can hear the communication between the ship and the harbour master.

 

I was not hearing the communications. Refreshed and now I do. Thanks.

This is more interesting then anything that is on TV tonight!!!

A couple of double posts - I think we were all trying to post at the same time. I am actually rooting for these 2 passengers. (Not sure whose fault it is - hopefully lesson learned and better planning in the future)

 

Or maybe they were supposed to fly in two days ago and their flights were cancelled. Of course in a situation like that I think I would rent a car and start driving.

Good evening, all! Just got back from dinner with friends and am so glad to see that I'm not too late to see the Amsterdam set sail!

I was trying and trying to post and it would freeze up. So I copied and pasted and added a sentence... like are those the lights of the little white truck??

 

So it is my fault for the double post. No patience... all being used waiting for the Amsterdam to sail. LOL

I had the same thing happen.

 

 

 

I hope they are not going to Miami!!!

[KNOT2L82SAIL]

Now that was funny... on their way to Miami.

Ooooohhh, fair warning given by the Captain - 5 or 6 minutes and he's leaving.

[PathfinderEss]

Captain only waiting 6 or 7 more minutes.

[gigianne]

That's Captain Mercer speaking - "if they aren't here within 6 minutes we are going!!"

[rafinmd]

OUCH!!!!! Can you imagine being that close and missing the ship?

Looks like the captain is not going to wait...:eek:

[erewhon]

Captain sounds annoyed at having to wait.

[Scrapnana]

Sounds like they made it.

[alibabacruisers]

here again...can't believe someone is late....hope they make it...

[gigianne]

It sounds like they have got someone from housekeeping to help them with their bags - gosh I hope they have made it to the ship!!

[erewhon]

Someone arranged to help with their luggage.

[cruisin crazy in Michigan]

THis is so interesting watching the webcam and reading all the posts! Do you know if anyone's doing a live thread for this cruise?

I followed one last year and it was awesome!

[KNOT2L82SAIL]

People just went up the ramp at the front of the ship! workers?? or the cruisers???

Well, now I know. It was workers as they late arrivals are going through security now.

The viewing audience is now up to 147!!!

[rafinmd]

Do you suppose the cabbie was rushing and got delayed by a speeding ticket?

[ger_77]

[Scrapnana]

Security screening done. I hope they passed!
