Is Celebrity actually moving? I haven't seen much evidence.

I thought they said Celebrity was leaving - doesn't look like it to me.

 

Black smoke from Oostie, so maybe she is going to get away.:):)

It's been 15 + minutes since they announced it - she should be halfway down the channel by now.

She changed her mind, it seems.

[kazu]

Glad to see I wasn't too late to miss her.

 

Greetings all.

Greetings all.

And, greetings to you!

[Happily@Sea]

Hey, Jacqui - glad you could join us.

[Vict0riann]

I guess those two Quebeckers don't know anyone is listening!

[ger_77]

Checking in!

 

Smooth Sailing! :) :) :)

[kazu]

And, greetings to you!

 

Hey, Jacqui - glad you could join us.

 

Thanks :).

 

OMG on the "conversation" we are hearing :').

[Happily@Sea]

Thanks :).

I don't understand them, so I couldn't be influenced. :confused:

[Krazy Kruizers]

Guess we are having another late sailing.

[Vict0riann]

Thanks :).

Hi, Jacqui - seems they finished their "chat".;)

 

Finally, a zoom!

[erewhon]

Finally Celebrity away.

Sounds like a shortage of immigration/customs officials again. Capt Albert spoke of it when the Westie was late the other day - after coming in from Europe.

Good point. That's very possible again.

[rafinmd]

Good point. That's very possible again.

That's apparently why we were to leave HMC early, to get in early for a slot with immigration.

Saw that on your LIVE thread Roy. I was kind of wondering if there may be a CDC inspection too? P'dam isn't in FLL very often.

[Vict0riann]

So no one knows when Oosterdam will be leaving - "It could be two minutes or two hours!"

Likely both CDC and Coast Guard. I've seen some extra cleaning and checking as well.

[Vict0riann]

Three respectable toots - I guess that is all we will be hearing from now on!

 

Zooming in now on Oostie - we should have a good view of any little white trucks.

Roy

 

Thanks :). It crossed my mind when you said they were coming in early. That stuff takes time.

[rafinmd]

My first toots of the season but with no real Oastie ETD I'd better get back to packing.

Good luck with the packing Roy. May it be quick and painless.

Looks like Serenade of the Seas is about to pull around and depart.
