Thank you for the reminder.

I think the departure time tomorrow is 1700 hours (5:00) rather than 1600 (4:00).

And another Dam leaves the southern US. I plan to be here.

Not your normal week end departure, don't know if I'll be back in time, thanks for the heads up.

Won't be surprised if she sails late today. Just coming out of drydock lots of provisioning to be done.

Checking In

But doubt if I will be here as I see that Oosterdam right now is scheduled to depart at 5 PM.

[erewhon]

Was hoping to be here for Oosterdam departure but this is now 1715. I have a community committment that will keep me from sailaway. Veendam tomorrow.

We already know on Zaandam [Apr 14] we will be boarding late. Got an email yesterday - Full Coast Guard inspection, plus 'very thorough safety inspection, requiring theparticipation of all crew while they exercise their emergency duties'. Boarding will not start until 1 pm.

Singling up

[AV8rix]

OK, it's now her scheduled departure time and not a word from the bridge to the harbormaster, not a puff of smoke from the funnels. I'm outta here. Thanks Peter, Lou, and Dave.

Who is singling up? I did see some smoke from Oosterdam's funnels a few minutes ago and now nothing.

[rkacruiser]

I now see that it's the Oosterdam! Bon Voyage! Have a successful season in Europe!

The pilot said at the time Oosterdam singling up - I didn't figure any one cared about the other ships at this time.

[Happily@Sea]

I didn't hear a departure toot, hope that is not a sign of things to come. :eek:

[Boytjie]

Checking in - in the nick of time!

[rafinmd]

I still can't get the webcam. Wishing all the Oosterdam passengers a great cruise.

We only saw her a few times [left coast through Panama Canal] but she will be back in FLL next season starting at the end of October.

 

See you addicts tomorrow for our third day in a row of sailaways. Actually, 5 if you count our regular days of Sat & Sun.
