Yes, 2200 EST/1900 PST

5 hours is a pretty big delay, especially when the port isn't too busy.

 

Does that kind of delay usually happen due to logistics with store delivery/load-in?

[rafinmd]

I'll try to watch Oasis as I sail away on her twin tomorrow. If I make it out of bed at 5am I'll check to see if the Veendam's left yet.

Oasis pushing away from the dock.

Could be a myriad of reasons, anywhere from a mechanical issue, (contract) maintenance arrival/ETAs, waiting for parts delivery (like you mentioned), you name it. Could even be related to her missing Charleston, SC and her subsequent unscheduled stop at Port Canaveral yesterday

[PathfinderEss]

Oasis doing 3 deep toots.

[rafinmd]

It will be tough getting used to those raspy toots. Thanks Copper and good night all.

 

Roy

[erewhon]

Usual gruff toots from the monster.

I'm back, ready for my lunch! Copper, I didn't see anything at Ogden Point, or anywhere on the water this morning - completely socked in! Little clearer now, 'cause it's raining. But I still can't see the water from where we are.

Oh my goodness, what a day - hubby's physio appt., lunch with friends, a business appt., and now back home. I was so disappointed when I realized the time - but when I looked at the FLL webcam, there's the Veendam! I hope everything's okay!!

 

Another meeting this evening; hopefully I'll catch the late departure.

 

Smooth Sailing ! :) :) :)

The port schedule has the Veendam down for 20:30 now. She looks pretty all lite up.

May I ask where you find the port schedule?

(please don't say it's as simple as portschedule.com) LOL

 

Smooth Sailing! :) :) :)

I wouldn't say that........go down to the bottom of the webcam page you are watching on and there will be a listing for port schedule. You will see the listing of the different ships, telling you when they arrived and down the list further when they will leave. Hope that helps.

Just returned from an early dinner and see that the Veendam is still in port.

Doubt I will hang around until 2200 Eastern =1900 MST here in AZ

While we're waiting for VEDM's departure, a heads up; I'm done hosting this Sail-away thread after today since I'll be in Hawaii effective tomorrow afternoon.

You've done a great job! Hope Hawaii is a vacation for you or are you boarding another HAL ship?

You deserve the time off and so does the "child bride"... Thanks so much for all of the commentary for the sailaways...
