MS Prisendam Sail-Away November 20, 2013

[aliaschief]

A rare visit by the Prisendam. She and two other cruise ships all scheduled for a 4 PM departure.

I would recommend this sail-away for tooting purist.

ha! ha!

 

Not a tooting purist, but always a pleasure to see the Prinsendam.

 

Can't miss her:D

I hope to be here for the Toots. And I hope one day to sail on the Pris

[BumperII]

Checking in for the Prinsendam. I have never seen this ship in motion before, she is one of seven HAL ships we have not had the pleasure of meeting. Yet!

Hope she leaves on time. I have to pick up friends at the airport at 5:15 so I can just watch the sail-away at 4:00 (if it happens then).

Since she's starting a 28 day Amazon cruise, I would be very surprised if she leaves on time. It usually takes longer to get her loaded for long trips than it does for 7 day loops. Or maybe they're just often in no hurry to get going with 2 sea days before the first port. :) Edited November 20, 2014 by jtl513

Thanks Chief! Always love to see the EE sailing. I should be here! :D

That's what I was thinking. There have also been quite a few late departures so far this season. I will be pleasantly surprised if I get to see her leave.:)

Seems there are about as many reasons as there are cruise ships in PE for late sailings. On our 31 day cruise on Prinsendam out of PE in May of 2013, we sailed pretty much on time. We were the only ship in port that day though, which may well account for that.

Have sailed on the Prinsendam in the Med. and transatlantic. Love that ship. Have never seen her at a sail-away so I will be watching today. Hope she sails on time as I have a meeting this evening.

Last year when we left on the Prinsendam for the Amazon cruise we didn't leave port until almost 9:00PM. We were scheduled for I believe it was 5:ooPM not 4:00PM at that time.

 

We had a great cruise, late leaving didn't diminish our cruise at all. Love the Elegant Explorer".

Boarding today started at 12.30 pm. There are rumours of an inspection having occurred, although I can't confirm that through a Google search. The mandatory safety drill is at 3.30 pm. Like others. I'm hoping we leave on time.

Hi Michelle,

 

how are you doing? I wouldn't be surprised if there is an inspection. She often gets inspected when she comes to FLL as it is so rare.

I remember that late departure. I'm hoping that we see her go in daylight today. We seem to have missed out a few times!

Fond memories of our 2 cruises on the EE - one as recent as 8 weeks ago. I will be here for the sail away - wouldn't miss it!!

Hi Chief, just checking in to make sure that the Prinsendam toots don't cause her to run a ground taking out the Condo's and all inhabitants.
