MS Prinsendam & MS Westerdam Sail-Away January 3, 2014

[mollyanne]

I stand corrected - it IS coming back to port. I hope it's not a serious situation for the passenger involved.

I doubt I will make it until midnight to see the P'dam go.

 

But I am sorely tempted even if it is at night.

 

I wish she would go more in the daylight, but she is a special ship with her own special itineraries.

 

Thanks to Lou and Dave and Chief for starting the thread.

 

Thanks for the great pics.

 

It was a nice break from my work on halfacts.com.

 

Have a great night all

You took a break?!:eek:

[PathfinderEss]

From the map Oasis is on her way back in.

Interesting she is only traveling at 12.1. Seems a little slow to me but then what do I know.

Maybe I'm wrong but I just looked at Marine Traffic and the Oasis OTS does not appear to be returning to port. I am interested because we have friends on it.

 

My dentist is on board too.

[Vict0riann]

You can see her coming in very slowly on the webcam, lit up.

[PathfinderEss]

Here she comes back into port.

[PathfinderEss]

It's so eery to see them come back into port at night.

[Copper10-8]

Let's see how long she stays

[Scrapnana]

The first thing you think of is medical emergency which makes you think she might go faster but it could be anything.

Opening break/shell door #9 on Oasis

[Scrapnana]

OK, must be medical with an ambulance.

Medical issue - ambulance standing by

[Scrapnana]

Copper,

 

Not to be totally morbid but if there had been a death would they have returned to port?

[PathfinderEss]

Just keeping good thoughts that the person will be ok.

Totally depends on the circumstances surrounding the death; all of the modern cruise ships have morgues

I imagine they would have to, wouldn't they? -if it was that soon after departure - and the deceased's family, or people travelling with him would probably want to disembark, too.

[PathfinderEss]

A few weeks ago she had come back in and I heard that the person had passed away on board. They were back in port quite a while.

[esimon]

the buzz is a medical emergency

[Copper10-8]

This is a medical emergency/disembark, not a death! There would not be a Fire and paramedic rig standing by if it was

Thanks! I would expect returning to port is an expensive proposition.

[PathfinderEss]

I had heard the last time that there were about 6 policeman that came on board.

[PathfinderEss]

What we couldn't figure out, maybe Copper knows, last time and this time she was almost down to Miami. Why didn't she go into that port? Is she to big to go into Miami or what?

I was wondering the same thing.

[PathfinderEss]

Took this off the RC board "A Facebook friend is on this ship and said there was a drowning in the pool. So sad!"

 

How true, who knows but if it is, really sad.
