Thanks Peter... Kinda strange not having the Eurodam with her.

I hope they take care of her this week. We are on her next Sunday- headed for the Panama Canal. 8 days until our sail away. :D:):D

Have you requested a webcam wave? We will all wave back at you.:D

NADM is backing in on a rainy day in FLL. Forecast for this PM is not too pretty and may be a "tug" day unless winds drop... Right now they are 13 gusting 23...

Bon Voyage to Ms Nieuw Amsterdam & all her passengers. I hope they have a sunny debarkation day. I hope the sky clears & winds die down for them.

I see Gator explained, so I do hope you do it. So many of us watch the sailaways and if you request a wave the cam op will find you and focus on you as you sail out. You just have to tell them where you will be.

I'll be there for the sail away. I signed in last week but had to miss it. Hopefully I'll get to watch this afternoon.

Lizzie makes a good point but I want to also urge you to tell US where you will be on the ship so we can try to take some screenshots. Let us know if you will have a flag or banner and what else you might have to identify you. Sometimes POA will log in and he has been known to make photos from his balcony...

[retiredkid]

oops wrong thread....

 

I'm just too excited. I don't leave until NEXT Sunday (10th) I will post there. LOL

Checking in from a very windy New York.

[65 Gator]

cool. We will be on port side Cabin 8100 balcony. Look for Canadian flag pennants.!! YAY!

 

I looked back at the postings and didn't see WHEN you were sailing. Is it today?

 

Also, we leave in 3 weeks from Ft. Lauderdale heading for Montreal on the Veendam.

Checking in - looks like a pleasant 77 degree day in FLL.

 

Smooth Sailing! :) :) :)

Thanks for posting that. I can only go back and forth between CC and the port easily when the URL is in the CC message. I don't know why.
