Checking in .... thought I'd missed it!

[Boytjie]

I think for charter cruises they tend to be more accommodating on departure time.

 

It would depend on the itinerary a bit. But then again, if one of the main entertainers are not on board yet, they will wait. I think we waited for Thelma Houston one year.

get the bus for the crew straight to gangway and they'll do the security. :eek:

 

Shore side: can't do that but we'll get them there ASAP :eek:

Thanks. :)

 

Let's go Mets!

 

How about those Mets?!! Let's go Mets!

 

Have been popping in and out trying to get my first batch of Christmas (I know no-one wants to hear that word yet) cookies made and put into the freezer. I make so many different kinds I have to start in October to get them all done!

Glad Westie is delayed!

[Boytjie]

That's baseball, right? :o!

 

Yes, World Series.

Captain van Eerten trying to speed things along.

[Scrapnana]

Maybe the weather in the area delayed the arrival of planes. They cut it kind of close sending in the crew so late, otherwise.

[Scrapnana]

A toot from someone.

[PathfinderEss]

Warning toot from the Westerdam.

[Mumsysailor]

Captain van Eerten trying to speed things along.

 

Sounds like it. He knows we're all waiting.

Where can one find out who is playing in the piano bar onboard?

 

Smooth Sailing! :) :) :)

 

I don't know, Ger - I checked Jimmy Maddox's website for his schedule.

[Vict0riann]

Looks like smoke coming from her funnel?

[PathfinderEss]

black smoke

[CowPrincess]

I see smoke from the funnel (or smokestack or ???)

[Lizzie68]

That's our Captain! She's about to go.

[Scrapnana]

What was that "another 20 minutes until"?

[dfish]

Looks like it is clearing a little.

[AV8rix]

Be quite a while yet. That "Mongoose Hunter" container ship is inbound in the channel right now. Likely be a while until they get that one berthed.

[65 Gator]

Zoom, Zoom... Por Favor...

[Boytjie]

black smoke

 

White Smoke, Pope; Black Smoke, Nope.

[pv girl]

boring, waiting

 

even the kitties on the kitty cam are sleeping now, so no action there either

 

glad I am not in that weather - would be a drowned rat just getting from airport or hotel to port

 

OH GOOD - just heard 4 and 2 - they are going

[dfish]

Looks like it is clearing a little.

 

Spoke too soon.

[Mumsysailor]

Looks like we could do with a lense wipe - pretty please. Followed by a nice zoom ready for the white truck- pretty, pretty please. :) :)

[Scrapnana]

Dropping lines, at last.

[PathfinderEss]

White Smoke, Pope; Black Smoke, Nope.

 

Your funny.........:D:D

 

Lines are coming down.
