Oops.....wrong day....sorry.....:)

[Krazy Kruizers]

Thank you for the reminder.

[Krazy Kruizers]

7 Ships -- really a busy day.

[erewhon]

Hope to be there.

[ski ww]

Hope to be here. Looks like a very busy day, a good day not to be at the airport. 

[Krazy Kruizers]

For the early birds who like to watch the ships sail in, here are the arrival times:

 

Zuiderdam -- about -- about 6:15 AM

 

Nieuw Statendam -- about 5:30 AM

 

Nieuw Amsterdam -- about 5:45 AM

Umm, I don't think the Eurodam is sailing away from San Diego today. My parents are on the ship currently and it's still making its way from Hawaii to Ensenada.

[DAllenTCY]

Yes, she arrives on Wednesday Feb. 20th for a return trip to the Hawaiian Islands.

 

Hopefully Mother Nature will be kinder to this voyage.

Fingers crossed for you (and/or anyone else on the next trip). My parents have actually had a good time. This is their third time doing this itinerary and while they were sorry to miss so many ports, the cruise was really for them to have 2 weeks of doing nothing with no demands on them or their time, so for them, the cruise was just what they wanted. I know many other passengers do not feel the same about this voyage.

Apparently I have erred (what else is new? 😉 ) and the Eurodam does not sail until Feb. 20th.  Sorry addicts.

No worries! EUDM went to Hawaii as opposed to her more regular seven-day Mex Riviera itinerary out of the city of the Padres

I'm sorry if my comment came across as an accusation. I really meant it as a joking comment -- more along the lines of "do you know something I don't know?" I meant to point out the mistake, but more in terms of a clarification.

Another insomniac morning, so I will watch sail-in
