Got up just in time to watch her come in.

Good shot. Thanks.

[Happily@Sea]

I plan to be here later.

Have a great time on a classic ship, Chief and Mrs. Chief

RNB, Part Deux.

 

Look for the HUGE hand wave from Deck 6 just north of glass elevators on the Oosterdam. Sorry y'all miss me last week. By the way the hand has no middle finger; no explanation required.

Just turned on the FLL webcam and I thought I was watching Juneau with all those raindrops!😉

We are on-board. 8 minute process and walked directly on. Looking good outside and inside looks like we left her in Aug 2007. Pools have not been cleaned but she is decked in Holiday Gala.

 

It is pouring rain so hope it clears for sail away.

Oh I hope it does clear for you Chief.

 

Probably hard to clean the pools in the rain 😉

 

Hope to see you sailing away.  Bon Voyage!

They are treating pools but they look a little green. The EE has aged more but with class. Of course it’s quite a change from walking around Koningsdam. It’s a love story!

I was happy on her in May, Chief!  And happy to be going back.  I envy you on the Holiday cruise.  I bet the decorations are absolutely beautiful.

 

You're right, it is a love story ❤️   Have a fabulous time on her.

Prinsendam now 16:30 and Oosterdam 17:00

Not looking good on weather. Foggy and rainy and 4 PM 100% chance of rain forecast. Pouring right now. We may have to move to Promenade for sailing. Cabin on starboard!

 

That submarine keeps on going up and back along the Atlantic. Not sure if web cam has covered it. To hazy right now with rain.

That's ideal Chief.  We went to the area behind the MDR for our sail a way with a concern about weather.  Worked out great and less sunny (not that it is a problem for you).  We'll be watching for you.

Evidently they, subs as well as naval surface warfare vessels, are there to conduct electromagnetic signature tests which are recorded by multiple fixed, in-water electromagnetic and acoustic measurement sites at various depths and controlled from a secure range house on the Naval warfare center property located south of Coast Guard Station Ft. Lauderdale

Just had Mariner Reception. Per HD pretty low count of 4/5 Mariners on-board. Drill has started.

Rain drops on the camera lens.

Looks like I am going to miss another Prinsendam sail-away.  I am going to watch the grandkids at 4:30.  Hopefully she will be late leaving.

Don't know what happens when we run out of alphabet for patrol boats.
