I hope she does sail at 4 pm and not the 10 pm that is still on the schedule. No idea why she would have to sail that late.

I missed that! I went by the CruiseTimetables.com and Olivia websites which both list it at a 16:00/4:0 PM departure.

 

I think I have head of occasions when charters have a performer the first night of the cruise but they disembark after the show, hence a late departure.

 

I will be unable to be here for the sail-away as I have some church duties and then bar tending later at a party (gotta love Episcopalians).

Thanks Peter,

Should be here for sail away.

Great!!

[Krazy Kruizers]

Thank you for the reminder.

If it is at 4 PM I will try to be here. It has been a rough week and last week with the snow storm, we didn't get to go out for dinner.

If it is at 10 PM -- I'll be asleep.

[wandb]

Hope to join you here. Maybe this time, I'll get to have sound AND picture at the same time!!

Hope to be here. Thank you for the reminder Peter.

[Vict0riann]

Thanks for the invite, Peter, but I will be at a funeral - unless she does leave at 10, then it might work for me! Hope all the addicts have a great time and Westie toots magnificently.:)

[Scrapnana]

I plan to stay from at least 4-5 pm to see the usual Saturday ships sail away and if Westie doesn't leave until 10, will be back for that although it will be very strange to see her leave silently.

[Boytjie]

Looking at the Olivia website for the cruise I noticed this on the itinerary: "*All aboard is 4pm."

 

That makes me suspect they have an show/entertainer that will be disembarking before sail-away and could in fact depart at 10:00 PM.

I doubt that you'll hear any toots at 10 PM.

[Krazy Kruizers]

Maybe I will try and stay up to 10 PM to see her sail away.

[Krazy Kruizers]

I doubt that you'll hear any toots at 10 PM.

 

 

I agree.

Horning blowing at that hour would wake up too many people -- especially children.

In 2013 when we were doing a repositioning cruise on the Westerdam, we left at 7 PM and there was no tooting.

[Mumsysailor]

We shall be here but can't be staying until 10pm FL time - that's 3am our time! 😱

[erewhon]

Checking in.Sailing time will be 4pm here.:D

[Lizzie68]

Checking in (with grilled cheese sandwich:D) but sadly will not be able to watch the Westie leave at 10 as I won't be home then.

 

 

Wow, check out the PE webcam!

Chatting to myself.:D But that was interesting, watching a paddle steamer coming in at quite a speed. Sounds like the fishing derby is still on.

[Scrapnana]

Something very noisy just went by but my internet picture froze so I could only hear it but could not see what it was.

[Mumsysailor]

Not talking to yourself Lizzie, we're here. Didn't see the paddle steamer as DH is in charge of the laptop with the pictures. Lurking whilst we wait for the parade to begin.

[Scrapnana]

Thought I heard a departure toot from someone but no movement yet.

:) Bad mistake - that's worse than letting him have the remote control for the TV.:D Tell him to check my response on the NA rc.
