I really didn't think she would leave at 4 pm. She always seems to sail later. If she goes at 6 it will at least still be light.

Prinsendam at pier 4, just visible on the far right. I remember a few years back, HAL had scheduled the Amsterdam to leave on the World Cruise and the Prinsendam to leave on the Grand South America on the same day. The Prinsendam was also at pier 4. I don't know why pier 4 today, but it is an easier sail out and the little P'dam does not have as powerful thrusters as the the larger HAL ships.

I can’t see her...only the monstrosity of the seas:p

She is tucked in at the far right on the Ft Lauderdale webcam....:)

Checking In and Checking Out.

I see that the Prinsendam is now scheduled to leave at 4 PM.

The air conditioning man has been here and all is fixed so we are going out for dinner -- rain free day so far.

Oh there she is! Basking in the sunshine. Thanks Rowsby!

In plenty of time to watch the second largest monstrosity of the seas departing.:D

The Harmony looks awful top heavy, wonder what she rides like in heavy seas?

[St Pete Cruiser]

Apartment of the Seas on the way now.

[St Pete Cruiser]

The wide beam should stabilize the Harmony, but there still is a great deal of ship above the water versus under.

[Scrapnana]

Raspy Harmony toots.

[ski ww]

Don't know if I would like to cruise on a ship that large with that many people. Bon Voyage fair winds & smooth seas.

I'll admit to being a bit distracted but I did pull up the webcam just in time to hear the rasps. My taxes are now completed.

Power was out, just came back on. May see it afterall.

[1of4]

Those mega ships are my nightmare!

[1of4]

Double post. Sorry.

 

It is a dizzy day so not sure how much longer I can stay.

[Scrapnana]

We were in port with Harmony 10 days ago in Puerto Rico.

 

Here is a picture of the Amsterdam, Carnival Magic, and Harmony.

 

 

And here are the passengers using the three gangways.

<lurking.....should be packing>

[Scrapnana]

Oh there she is! Basking in the sunshine. Thanks Rowsby!

 

I can see my cabin!

[1of4]

You picked the right ship Kathi! I just can’t imagine....

[1of4]

Will you choose it again Kathi or switch it up in 2020? On the Amsterdam I mean.

I wouldn’t mind having the same cabin but I think I will have to go with a cheaper cabin. I have an F guarantee right now.

She is smoking...should I stick around. Is 5:30 likely?
