Checking in.

 

One year from today I will be in Fort Lauderdale boarding the Koningsdam. Sooooo excited!!!

Nice zoom on PE webcam.

 

Thanks Scrapnana, I always forget to look at that one.

[Lizzie68]

A Ploughman's Lunch!

 

Absolutely!:D

[Krazy Kruizers]

That seems to have been a short lifeboat drill compared to the ones we have had the last couple of years.

Yay, I made it with time to spare. Busy morning running errands, them home to take down the Christmas tree and put decorations away. Now in front of the screen with a cup of green tea ready to wave to those on the Oosterdam.

 

Smooth Sailing ! :) :) :)

Turn on your PE webcam - great closeup of the ship.

I see that - great view! Pilot is onboard - shouldn't be too long now.

 

Smooth Sailing! :) :) :)

Great webcam view - we sail 9 weeks from today - that's a lot of winter!!

[ger_77]

Don't you just love the sound of the chimes prior to an announcement? It makes me feel like I'm on the ship again.

Zooms on both webcams. The joy of being the only ship in port!

[Krazy Kruizers]

With only one ship in, it shouldn't take long to start our tiny parade.

[Lizzie68]

Fascinating watching the tug push the cargo ship into place.

 

And yes I love the chimes before announcements, too.:)

It'll give you something to look forward to. :) There were years in Maine when looking forward to a cruise was the only thing that got us through February.

2 views going - yippee!

 

The dealer just called - my car will be ready in an hour. So, here I'll sit, watching the parade of one...

 

:D

Ditto up here on the 'frozen tundra'. 2 weeks from today we leave the snow and ice for the sunny warm climes of FLL.

 

Smooth Sailing! :) :) :)

[ski ww]

Got back just in time.

[Vict0riann]

I see smoke - shouldn't be too long now!

[Scrapnana]

Singling up and lots of smoke!

[RMLincoln]

The PE cam shows it looking pretty stormy. I hope they have a good ride starting out tonight. Love the itineraries! m--

[Krazy Kruizers]

Looks like some lines are down.

[Happily@Sea]

Last bow line let go.

[Vict0riann]

"Let go all:, and the final line is dropping!

[ski ww]

At least it's warm there, but it sure looks grey and over cast. Bon Voyage, fair winds & smooth seas. Just heard the horn blow.

Checking in - and out.

 

Unfortunately I cannot stick around for the sail-away, nor does t look for being here for the next two sail-aways! :(

 

Well, I heard a toot! Bye for now; enjoy.
