MS Noordam - Sail Away - Apr 20

[PathfinderEss]

Here we only have 2 ships in PE today and the Liberty is blocking our view of the Noordam, darn!!.:(

 

I'll look for you - and I'll try to be enthusiastic with the air horn.

 

Oops, now we know who has the air horn, gave yourself away - - POA.:D

New departure time -- 4:35.

She has to load a lot of supplies for her long journey through the canal and up to Vancouver.

 

Not only that but I suspect they made the cupboards as bare as possible for the drydock. Not just going from normal to fully stocked but going from empty to fully stocked.

Making this one today

Looking forward to sailaway this afternoon! But, sorry to see Noordam go. Who knows when we will see her back in Port Everglades.

[rafinmd]

What was THAT? Anybody else hear a strange horn?

I think POA is testing his air horns. LOL

[Krazy Kruizers]

I also will miss the Noordam doing Caribbean cruises.

You never know what HAL has in mind. She will be downunder next year along with Maasdam.

Even though they use generators for when the power is turned off -- refrigerator food lasts only so many days.

We are losing so many of the ships that we like.

I have a feeling that we will soon not be cruising or moving to another cruise line.

Maybe the Liberty of the Seas or it could be the SF Alhusemans over at Pier 1, it is, I believe, one of the Bahama Express ferry.

 

Joanie

[wishful thinking]

Signing in, though looks like I'm early!

[summer slope]

Nice sailboat.

Looks like smoke from Noordam.

Hard to tell, there is a big white blob in the way :D

I've never heard that from Liberty and it doesn't look like Bahama Express leaves until tomorrow morning so I don't think it would be them. I'm now thinking they may have been moving one of the container cranes near one of the microphones. It was kind of a sound like they make.

 

I guess you have a vested interest in this sailaway, with the ship on it's way to San Diego.

 

I'm going to try to be watching tomorrow when Queen Victoria visits. I think the next time it visits Ft. Lauderdale I'll be aboard.

I know:( But you can see the Noordam's stacks just to the right of Liberty's stacks.

 

It was easier to spot when it first started.

Hope she goes soon as weather is turning to poop... Winds south at 15 gusting 21 and large cell of thunderstorms sw of FLL less than an hour away...

Greetings everyone.

Rather cloudy in Fort Lauderdale today. But the sun is shining for us with a Blue Hulled sail-away.

But we are excited that they are coming our way.:)

Medical on LOS?

When will you be on QE Roy? I do not see a clock for it so gots ta ask:)

 

Oh Oh....Just heard someone say they might have "a medical in the next few minutes":(

 

Yep Gangway going back into place.

 

OK, time to shut up and wait.

I have heard that strange sound before and am pretty certain that was the signal to begin Muster Drill on Liberty of the Seas.

[Krazy Kruizers]

Looks like a lousy day in Ft Lauderdale or my computer is going bad.

[erewhon]

Ambulance called for.
