Thanks for the heads up!

[Vict0riann]

Thanks, Peter. Unless she is late, I don't think I will be here, :(, but I'll check in later and see how it all went. I think Nanner is on this cruise, but I don't know if anyone has requested a wave.

[kftw]

Thanks for letting us know. Hope to be there.

Brain faster than fingers. Left out a word.

[Krazy Kruizers]

Thank you for the reminder.

I will try to be here for sail away tomorrow.

[Aussie Jeep]

I am keen to follow the return journey from Rio as I have this same itinerary booked on the Veendam next Feb (2017)

[65 Gator]

Thanks Peter... Look forward to this and wish we were on the cruise...

[Scrapnana]

Thanks for the reminder, Peter. A bonanza of sail-aways coming up for the addicts!

[erewhon]

Thank you for the reminder, hope to be here for sail away.

...And the Maasdam on PEW. With 2 tugs - Broward and St Johns.

[ger_77]

I'd be happy to be on either of the itineraries!

 

Smooth Sailing! :) :) :)

Our friends Ski WW are on the cruise and I believe their is a gathering for the sail away. I am hoping for a 4:00 departure otherwise I will probably miss it.

I have just requested a wave for the 24th - NA. Because of cabin changes (upsells) I have now sent in 3 requests about the change. At the bottom of the form it states that an email confirmation will be sent shortly. I still haven't received an e from my first request over 2 weeks ago. Can anyone add insight? Thanks.

G - I requested a WAVE for my April Maasdam cruise and received an email acknowledging same. ;)

Have a great sailaway. I'll miss the sailaways but not enough to stay home.

I may not make it today. One of my dogs is at the vet having some tests done. I may have to either pick her up and bring her home, or send her over the Rainbow Bridge. Please keep us in your thoughts.

Checking in for Maasdam departure at 1600.

Anyone having trouble with the FLL webcam? If I can get it to load it immediately freezes up but most attempts result in it not even getting to the picture (the ads still come up, however:D).

The tweet on the bottom of the page states: FtLauderdaleWebcam.com has connection gremlins again!

Hopefully you will be bringing her home.
