MS Oosterdam in Port Everglades, March 30, 2019

Thanks Copper, I know they would not actually collide, but it is fun to speculate. 

[Scrapnana]

Thanks for the info!

I am just reading an article in a sunday paper about a pax on Noordam complaining about HAL ripping off pax over cost of Shore excursions!

Looks like Conquest will be close behind.

Checking in.

Nice toots from Caribbean Princess.

[erewhon]

Conquest now racing for the channel.

Checking in from cool Chicago.

Majesty seems to be chicken.  She was the first off the pier but now two have gone before her (at least it looks like Conquest will beat her).

Compensation anyone? 🤓

[mocruzer]

Majesty taking her time...

[Vict0riann]

A lot happening!  KK, so sorry about the health problems, yours and your DH's.  And Kathi, I understand about the laundry.  I'm up to my ears in it, too.  I have finally got everything else put away now, though.  I don't have to think about cruise stuff for 6 months!

So I am guessing this pax has never cruised before.  The cost is high on all lines that sell excursions.

I think someone suggested she may be picking up a lifeboat, although I don't see any evidence of that on the AIS data.

Majesty was slow to move last week too, so Conquest will beat her out.

I have only emptied one suitcase.  The other two and the box are sitting and staring at me.  I have nine months to unpack.😁

Conquest heading out...

Exactly, and that was pointed out. Not surprisingly HAL refused to comment.

That was the reason given last week for the double back out - Majesty picking up life boat.

Going to be impossible to tell since she has all her port side lifeboats/tenders housed

[Scrapnana]

The Canadians are present in their matching t-shirts.  Nice toots.

[erewhon]

Good toots and good waving.

[travelnap]

Nice toots from Conquest exciting the Canadian spring breakers.

[rafinmd]

I haven't heard webcam toots for a long time.  Just noticed my speakers were set on 67%.  Better now.

I saw the lifeboat in water starboard side.
