That's OK Mumsy. I usually wait till 5 for my Guinness of the day but am opening one now in your honor...

 

Why thank you. Your very good health!

Sorry that Westerdam is delayed, but glad I made it home in time!

Me, too. We arrive three days prior!

 

that's a plus. Our usual modus operandi.

 

We are leaving 9 days early for the next one to do some visiting in other areas in Spain but will be in Barcelona two days prior ;)

 

thanks to your posts on your hotel in BCN, we are trying Colon and really looking forward to it :)

Our favourite captain doing his usual. :) :)

 

yep, I can still remember him saying (yelling) that on our cruise, brought everyone to attention, including me.:D:D

We have dinner tonight at a "Supper Club" gathering at one of the resident's homes. In our new over-55 Del Webb community.

 

I have to go make my appetizer...brie with cranberry hot pepper jelly wrapped in puff pastry. But will leave the webcam volume on high! May be back...

We always travel at least 2 days prior - we had an incident where we were the last ones to board the ship (running, not walking) and the gangway was pulled up behind us. We swore never again. Even when we were working full time, we just added it onto the travel itinerary so we wouldn't ever begin another cruise totally stressed out.

 

Smooth Sailing! :) :) :)

[Crazy For Cats]

Back from errands in time to watch the sail away.

1745 departure so it will still be light.

I have to check into that. I can't book the Hawaii/South Pacific cruise...too much time away. But Alaska is doable. Would love to cruise with you again!

 

Wonder if Jimmy Maddox is on the Westerdam yet?

 

Hey, Sheila, that would be great! Check out the Nieuw Amsterdam sailing from Vancouver, May 7th 2016.

Wow! I think the SW cam needs a windshield wiper! I imagine there are not a lot of people out on deck.

My DH wants to go on that one, too!:) We'll have to see if we can do it very last minute.

[CowPrincess]

Wow Oasis is huge!

[Boytjie]

Sad to report that South Africa lost to New Zealand. :(

[PathfinderEss]

Did the Oasis go out not tooting?

[Mumsysailor]

Yay! We'll keep everything crossed. :D

[CowPrincess]

Sorry to hear that Boytjie!

[Scrapnana]

Anybody else lose sound?

[Mumsysailor]

Did the Oasis go out not tooting?

 

We didn't hear a thing. :(

[seadrifter]

Anybody else lose sound?

 

Yes, hope it's back by the time Westerdam sails.

[CowPrincess]

Did the Oasis go out not tooting?

 

I have the sound turned off, after scaring our poor cat last week :eek: Hopefully someone can tell you :)

[Vict0riann]

Anybody else lose sound?

 

All is quiet here!:confused:

Not sure what happened. I lost all video feeds from PTZ but it just came back on

 

Audio is popping in and out...

Glad to know it was not something I did to my SIL's computer. I borrowed his since the sound was so bad on the iPads. Luckily, it is back now and, hopefully, will stay on for Westerdam!

[ger_77]

Wow, on the FLL SW cam it looks like there's a major weather system closing in.

 

Smooth Sailing ! :) :) :)

[PathfinderEss]

I have sound, I think she just didn't toot. Hey POA, did she toot?
