ms Oosterdam Sail-Away January 18, 2016

[Krazy Kruizers]

Salmon is in the oven, so I have a little time to watch her sail away!:)

 

 

 

Salmon -- oh our mouths are watering -- I told DH about this.

What are you having with it?

I was on the Oosterdam. Around midnight the captain was asked to participate in a search and rescue. He continued until our ship was released at 5:00 am. We had strong winds and choppy seas last night and this morning as well as going very fast to make up time. Ad of the time the ship left the search area no ship had been found.

 

I was in the last group to disembark from the ship and that was around 1:15 this afternoon. Guests were given free use of the Internet and telephones to change their airplane reservations. If you booked through HAL they did it and notified you in your room as to your new time.

 

It is now 8:45 and I am in the Hyatt Pier 66 watching our ship which has not moved and no smoke coming out of her smokestacks. We were told by someone local, and I do not know if it is true or not, that if she doesn't leave by 9:00 she will be spending the night here.

 

The ship was two sea days after it leaves here.

 

Thanks for the first-hand account.

 

Good she was able to get away tonight.

[Krazy Kruizers]

The tug is really staying beside her.

Wild caught I hope.

[Krazy Kruizers]

She is turning towards the channel.

[Scrapnana]

Looks like she is the Oos er am.

[PathfinderEss]

They look so pretty lite up.

[Krazy Kruizers]

This has really been a rough last night and a wild day for the Oosterdam.

Don't know if we will hear any toots.

I don't see anyone outside behind the Crow's Nest, so I guess the roll call decided to go to dinner instead!:)

I imagine so; it's after 9PM on the ship.

 

That's it for me, goodnight everyone!

 

Smooth Sailing! :) :) :)

Here is wishing all the Oosterdam passengers a great cruise after a "rocky" start.

Hope she doesn't have any more problems.

[PathfinderEss]

and there she goes. Hope everyone has a great cruise.

Great picture!!

[Boytjie]

With all the time I spent watching the Oosterdam saga today, It was just not meant to be for me to see it sail in or out!

 

Got called away again with the building issues we have and I come back and she is out at sea.

 

Oh well... Bon Voyage Oosterdam, finally!
