Thank you for the reminder.

Hope I am up at 5:30 to see the Oosterdam arrive -- I have been sleeping in a lot lately.

Looks like Oasis of the Seas is returning tomorrow a day early.

 

too many sick passengers on board.  So another ship in FLL tomorrow.  I suspect they won't sail until Sunday though to allow for deep cleaning?  They weren't on the sailing list for tomorrow.

Isn't  one of the symptoms of Noro extreme diarrhea?  I can't imagine getting off a ship after getting noro and needing to fly home.  I wonder what people who get off will do.

[Krazy Kruizers]

Oosterdam way out in the ocean.

[Krazy Kruizers]

Noro -- yes extreme diarrhea and vomiting.

 

I would not want to be trying to get home with that -- not by car or flying.

Checking in.

Especially since Oasis is back a day early.  Most people's flights would be set for the day of scheduled disembarkation or later.

[Krazy Kruizers]

Oosterdam getting closer.

[Krazy Kruizers]

Oosterdam about ready to enter the channel.

[Krazy Kruizers]

We should see the Oosterdam soon.

[Krazy Kruizers]

Oosterdam has arrived in Ft Lauderdale.

[puppycanducruise]

There she is!

[Krazy Kruizers]

See you all this afternoon.

[puppycanducruise]

Have a good day.

Hope to be back by sail away.

Looks like a busy day.
