MS Noordam Sail-Away-Jan. 6, 2014

[Copper10-8]

She's staying pretty close to the dock

[KNOT2L82SAIL]

There appears to be quite a few people out on the deck, watching the happenings. Nice.

the Noordam was the first HAL we cruised on - just finished our 4the cruise on the N in November - love that ship!

[Copper10-8]

Two strings of dressing lights from her stack

It's probably the early diners out for their post-dinner constitutional.:D

[kazu]

as much as I prefer day light sailings - she is very pretty all lit up - especially with the lights in the background.

 

Loved the ship when we were on a few years ago.

or the main diners enjoying the view before they eat :D

fm5175 said they would be on the upper deck as close as they could get to the big name sign. I doubt that we'll see them!

[Copper10-8]

She appears to have a whole bunch of fireflies onboard

[OVgirl]

I do see some people standing just to the left of the big "Noordam".

[KNOT2L82SAIL]

Wahoooo.... we have the right sound on. Now it is all up to the tooter on the Noordam to deliver! :D

Thank you, guys, for working late tonight.

[gigianne]

The oordam needs to get the N fixed!!

[startwin]

Good horns, I wasn't sure we would hear any at all. Nice responses from the condos, too.:)

 

And what a gorgeous shot on the Ft Lauderdale webcam.

:D

 

Thank you!

[lka1012]

Yea, we had toots. Well it's back to soup.

Did you wave at them?:)

People were waving with a torch alongside the big Noordam sign.

[kazu]

Well done indeed :D

 

have to go Mascot Master Marley needs to go out and as sure footed as he is - it is just too plain slippery so I am out with him.

 

Thanks Lou and Dave for a great webcam and thanks for working overtime.

 

See you all at the next sail a way:D

I saw them too, I wonder if it was them. Guess we'll find out next week!

 

Thanks all, especially Lou and Dave for staying around to give us a good sailaway!

[lka1012]

Well worth the wait. Kazu, at least I can shove my crew out the door.

[aliaschief]

I never want to hear again that there is a PE noise ordinance. Good job Noordam.

[KNOT2L82SAIL]

Beautiful sight to see, with those extra deck lights strung and on. Have a wonderful cruise.

 

Thank you, guys, for having the sound on... and thank you, Noordam tooter, for the toots.

 

and see you all later.

[erewhon]
