Rare POA1 Posted May 2, 2014 #1 Share Posted May 2, 2014 I know I'm jumping the gun, but I have a packed day and don't want anyone to miss the final Holland America ship of the Winter / Spring season. The Maasdam is in Port Everglades today and scheduled for a 4:00 PM Eastern Daylight Savings Time departure. (Technically, the Maasdam is still a ways off shore as I write this, but I'm feeling confident.)

aliaschief Posted May 2, 2014 #8 Share Posted May 2, 2014 Enjoy the Sail-Away, flying to Kauai today. Thanks for all the fun times this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Vict0riann Posted May 2, 2014 #9 Share Posted May 2, 2014 Hope to be here. She looks like the only cruise ship in port. Everybody moving north? I must say, it was like summer here yesterday. Today we're due for a change, and some rain this afternoon. But the weatherman is not always right! Must go and walk doggy now, and then we have to take some screens in to be repaired - it'll soon be insect season, too! I'd rather be cruising. Maasdam will be our next ship, so I'm anxious to see her sail - must make sure she is seaworthy!:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BumperII Posted May 2, 2014 #10 Share Posted May 2, 2014 With the Maasdam headed for the Canada - New England run, we might run across her in person while aboard the Veendam. Only four more weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

innlady1 Posted May 2, 2014 #13 Share Posted May 2, 2014 I should be here...and I will try to figure out when they go by us here on the way North! We're south of Boston...only a mile from the water...anyone know the website where one can check marine traffic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gigianne Posted May 2, 2014 #14 Share Posted May 2, 2014 Love seeing the Maasdam - the ship looks lonely in port today! Hope to be back to watch the departure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare POA1 Posted May 2, 2014 Author #15 Share Posted May 2, 2014 And then there were none. The Maasdam graces us with her presence - the last Holland America ship until mid October when the Zuiderdam steams back into town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare POA1 Posted May 2, 2014 Author #16 Share Posted May 2, 2014 I should be here...and I will try to figure out when they go by us here on the way North! It's our turn to be jealous of you. It's starting to get a wee bit toasty here in South Florida. Can't wait to get back to Maine for summah. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alibabacruisers Posted May 2, 2014 #19 Share Posted May 2, 2014 (edited) Thanks for the reminder POA! Looks like a nice day too for a sailaway. Chief, have a wonderful time in Hawaii (Kauai)!

rkacruiser Posted May 2, 2014 #20 Share Posted May 2, 2014 Checking in. After the Veendam sailed yesterday, I watched the other two ships sail. The Liberty of the Seas provided a bit of interest. Shortly after she left port, there was radio traffic between the Harbormaster and Liberty. That was unusual. She had to return to port becasue of a medical emergency. She docked at Pier 25, using her thrusters, I believe, to hold her against the pier. I saw no lines deployed. After about 10 minutes, off she went again.

Rare Vict0riann Posted May 2, 2014 #22 Share Posted May 2, 2014 In honour of it being the last sail away, and the Maasdam, at that, I am having a grilled cheese sandwich for lunch while I watch, instead of my usual cottage cheese salad!:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
