Rare POA1 Posted May 3, 2016 #1 Share Posted May 3, 2016 Hope this isn't a duplicate, but I didn’t see a thread for the Maasdam today, but I can see her in the port. Scheduled departure is, 4:00 PM Eastern. (Please note how much better Boytjie's announcements are?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boytjie Posted May 3, 2016 #2 Share Posted May 3, 2016 (edited) OK, OK... I didn't have it posted a day before!

Rare POA1 Posted May 3, 2016 Author #6 Share Posted May 3, 2016 If the camera is panning, check out the Navy and Coast Guard vessels. Also check back after dark. The ships were very nicely lit up last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Copper10-8 Posted May 3, 2016 #7 Share Posted May 3, 2016 Looks like at least one U.S. Navy warship in port; amphibious assault ship Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare POA1 Posted May 3, 2016 Author #8 Share Posted May 3, 2016 OK, OK... I didn't have it posted a day before! Sheeshhhh :D Thanks and no worries. My wife and I looked out the window this morning, saw the familiar blue hull, and said, "I wonder which HAL ship that is?" We kinda guessed Maasdam based on the stack. I fired up CruiseCritic on my phone but couldn't find a sail away thread. I posted my own little lame attempt, but yours is of such higher quality. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare POA1 Posted May 3, 2016 Author #9 Share Posted May 3, 2016 Looks like at least one U.S. Navy warship in port; amphibious assault ship USS Bataan. There are some sail in links and video here http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=2350472 I messed up the Wikipedia links in my post, but the pictures should be fine. I didn't get the USCG Cutter Robert Yered because I had work to do, but I got the Navy ships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare POA1 Posted May 3, 2016 Author #12 Share Posted May 3, 2016 Should be interesting to see them depart :) They got more shoreside air horns than the cruise ships usually do. The salutes started at around 6:45 AM. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare POA1 Posted May 3, 2016 Author #17 Share Posted May 3, 2016 Nice wakeup call :D We were up anyway because I had to take my camera outside so the humidity could normalize. We'll have to get ourselves a flag to wave for these occasions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare POA1 Posted May 3, 2016 Author #21 Share Posted May 3, 2016 Nice wakeup call :D Glad to hear you had a good world cruise. Welcome back! It's probably a bit of an adjustment. The location is less exotic now, but the sleeping quarters are HUGE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
