Thanks for the hint. That did the trick for me.

Point Of interest:

The bridge that you see is Erasmus Bridge (Dutch: Erasmusbrug) which is a Cable-stayed bridge across the Nieuwe Maas, linking the northern and southern regions of Rotterdam, Netherlands.

Thanks for the link….They have some strange looking buildings there.:D

[cruisebirdie]

Very artistic buildings....to modular builds too!

[Clarea]

I sincerely hope this is sarcasm. If so, you have not made your point clear enough :). Cox and Comcast are not available in Europe.

 

Also, no the IT department is by no means shut down during drydock. They just have reduced workload with no need to support revenue-generating systems such as POS. Shipboard internet and e-mail is still required by most departments and IT is definitely keeping that running during drydock.

 

Further, on RCI the satellite TV is delivered by the Broadcast team which doesn't even fall under the IT division; it is part of the Entertainment team and the Head Broadcast Technician reports directly to the Cruise Director. This person is in charge of all TV content onboard RCI ships and has little to do with what is going on in IT land.

Don't know if they still do this, but some of the TV channels were streamed via Internet, so the IT people get involved with receiving the stream and delivering it to the broadcast people for conversion to a TV channel.

When does she actually set sail on her TA cruise?

[Clarea]

When does she actually set sail on her TA cruise?

The TA starts today in Rotterdam. Picks up more passengers in Southampton tomorrow. I think there's one stop in Vigo, Spain, and the next stop is Florida.

[FLACRUISER99]

When does she actually set sail on her TA cruise?

Today 10/14

[Paulette3028]

Today 10/14

 

I think Rotterdam is 6 hours ahead of EDT, so it is mid afternoon there, 3:15 pm or so. Muster will be soon and then her Sail Away party....and then another Sail Away party for tomorrow.

[Paulette3028]

We should depart in 83 minutes

 

I will be at work by then, and without access to the webcam to watch it 'Sail Away'.....enjoy.

[Sunny AZ Girl]

Muster must be over. I can see people coming out on the top deck for sail away.

[Sunny AZ Girl]

Not yet. Muster is planned for 4:30pm

 

OK - my time calculations must be off.

[Paulette3028]

Not yet. Muster is planned for 4:30pm

 

Then tomorrow they have another Muster Drill for those passengers that come on board then. That must be unusual. And those passenger deserve another Sail Away party!!

What webcam are you watching? The Oasis Royal Caribbean webcam is still stuck on same pictures as last several days.

If anyone can get a picture of the new grand suites on 12, I would love to know how the balconies are configured. I have one for February and hope I haven't made a mistake.

I may be wrong, but I don't believe the suites on decks 11, 12 & 14 are completed yet. They have relocated the passengers who were already booked in the last few cabins on those decks through early December for ongoing construction issues.

[ladyariadne]

Thanks for the info. I see the cabins in the pictures and it does look like they have more than one way to access the balcony. I hope they are done by February.

With the Boardwalk Donuts now the Boardwalk Hot dog House, do they still have donuts somewhere?

Yes, in a kiosk on the Boardwalk.
