MS Westerdam-Sail-Away, Feb. 15, 2014

Greetings from the MSC Divina!

 

We are supposed to sail at 7 pm from Miami. We made it out of New York Wednesday night before the storm. One did not make it and another drove down from New Jersey. Lots of stories to tell!

I'm glad that you made it! Anxious to learn your opinion of MSC Divina inasmuch as she is one I have considered. I have thought about MSC for some time.

 

Have a great cruise!

Peter have a great cruise and enjoy the warmer weather. Maybe (hopefully) it will be more Spring like after your cruise.

 

Bon Voyage!

Checking back in for the Diva. Looking forward to your stories Boytjie.

[Boytjie]

It will be a different experience :)

 

At least I can use my little Indonesian with the crew.

 

Boarding was really good so that started well. Cabins are smaller, but nice decor.

Nope. I am still here. Multi-tasking as I do so.

[rafinmd]

Guess Crown will be before Divina. Looks like a nice moon on the Miami webcam.

I am here also, toggling between Princess and Divina

Looks like Divina will not make the 7pm time.:D

[PathfinderEss]

Good for Crown, some nice tooting.

[rafinmd]

3 nice toots and a bonus for Crown. On to Mimi webcam.

7:29 P. M.

 

Crown Princess did not disappoint. 3 Normal Departure Toots and one Short Toot.

 

Worth waiting for and again shows that there is no "noise after a certain time" restriction when the cruise ships depart Port Everglades.

 

Thank you, whomever is the Master of the Crown Princess.

[PathfinderEss]

Thanks Chief, Lou and Dave for an awesome sail away.

[lka1012]

I think the Divina is moving.

[rafinmd]

I think the Divina is moving.

 

Sure is.

Will Boytjie be waving?

[rkacruiser]

Good night to all! MSC Divina is on her way and I hope those guests as well as all of the others sailing today, on another very Wintery day in the U. S., will have a most pleasant cruise!

[rafinmd]

Pretty well out of sight now. Bon Voyage, Peter. Thanks for the thread, Chief. Thanks for the great cameras, Lou and Dave.

See you tomorrow

That was MOST impressive. I'm not a HAL cruiser (yet) - is that one particular Captain, or do they all do it? :)

 

At the moment, it is this particular Captain, Rens van Eerten! He's even got last year's reigning champion, Captain Henk Keyer, beat by a landslide! :)

Sorry I had to miss it all but with confessions Mass and dinner...
