Interesting... I have never seen a Princess ship back out from that berth. This is going to be a challenging turn.

Is the Princess BACKING down the channel? :eek: I sometimes hit the gate backing up, I'd probably hit a few other ships if I tried that. :D

[musicismylife]

She must have a good back up camera ;)

[Love the beach]

That is a sight to see!

[FONT=Comic Sans MS][SIZE=3]I thought she was going the wrong way. Never saw one back out in that direction before.[/SIZE][/FONT]

Me too! I would need a steering wheel on the aft end if I were backing out like that.

Round of applause I think! :):)

That is one amazing turn by the Princess ship.

[FONT="Comic Sans MS"][SIZE="3"]I just checked my flights...we usually fly in 3 days early. This time, we're flying into FLL 1/23 and cruising on the Maasdam 1/27. Four nights in FLL. That gives us plenty of time to drive if the weather reports are grim. I, too, would be a nervous wreck cutting it this close.[/SIZE][/FONT]

Does it look like the Westie lines are down?

Wow Rich :eek: You can't help but wonder about the riders when you see this damage :eek:

[startwin]

Captain of one of the ships sounds mighty annoyed.

[innlady1]

Is everyone on board now?

One has to wonder, if those people in the cabs are thinking "OMG, let's never leave it this late again!", or if they're thinking "Oh, this is easy, we can do this again, we know the ship will wait for us."?

Celebrity Eclipse captain not a happy camper ;)
