You betcha! And with a snow day in NYC today, I am ready to start packing!

[Krazy Kruizers]

Thank you for the reminder.

I will try to be here tomorrow.

[erewhon]

Hope to be there.

[Scrapnana]

Still have one ship to get out tonight! See you all tomorrow!

[easyboy]

Thanks for the reminder.

[Happily@Sea]

At 6:15, everybody was already here, but X, and she was just outside the channel. All here now.

Looking forward to waving at Cruising-along as they set sail... Hoping for "on-time" today.

 

Weather forecast is a little "iffey" with 64 degrees and partly cloudy. 18% chance of rain and 19 mph winds from the north...

[Happily@Sea]

Koningsdam's having trouble scanning people off - something to do with the computers from having visited Key West yesterday. We all know who was at Key West yesterday, and of course K'dam's first visit. When they visit again on the 21st, everything should be 'old hat'. :D

 

There's been quite a bit of chatter, I didn't realize it was K'dam - until they mentioned Key West.

I was on her last month and I was not that fond of it.

I will be watching the Sail Away here from home rather than being on board. My roll call did request a wave, so we will be looking for a banner that says, "The Royals sail The King.". Deck 4 towards the aft just past the lifeboats.

Are you still on Zuiderdam??

[Scrapnana]

At least for right now, the weather in south Florida is beautiful. Hope it stays like that for sail-away!

[Boytjie]

Are you still on Zuiderdam??

 

 

No, John just got off the Westerdam - a vacation cruise. He left the Zuiderdam just before Christmas.

Morning all! Celebrity Silhouette OOW talking to Koningsdam OOW, both scheduled for 1600 EDT

Edited January 8, 2017 by Copper10-8

[Scrapnana]

Celebrity and Koningsdam just discussing departure times. So far it sounds like everything is on time.

[FlyingFishy]

So happy to see Koningsdam today! Thank you for this post OP.

 

3 more weeks until I board. Can't wait! :D

[Scrapnana]

Princess said 1700 and the other guy said, "And it begins." More delays to come?????

Now it is probably the weather, I can't imagine them cancelling flights 2 days out from the tragedy at the airport.

[Scrapnana]

Celebrity wants to go before her scheduled time. Once again the ship and port agent do not seem to be communicating.

In the meantime it looks like the Prinsendam is in the Miguel Lock:
