I doubt I'll be up for sail-in, but I plan to to be here for the 4-DAM ships sailaway. I don't remember ever having 4 before - 3  a few times.

[seagarsmoker]

Thanks for the post and looking forward to seeing the ships at port Everglades in the morning!

[erewhon]

Watch for the New Zealand flag  - Volendam, midship, port side, promenade deck. ☺

I wish I was in Ft. Lauderdale to witness the event!

Will do. It is not a flag seen very often in FLL.

Checking in, Veendam next about 7 miles out.

[Krazy Kruizers]

Thank you for the reminder.

 

It has been a long time since 4 HAL ships have been in Ft Lauderdale at the same time.

[Krazy Kruizers]

Sorry I missed the Rotterdam arriving but 4 AM is a little early for me.

[rafinmd]

Oops, I forgot to change my watch last night.  I might make an arrival or two, but will certainly miss sailaway (possibly Volendam, I wouldn't be surprised if she's quite late going for the 30-day itinerary.  Wow.  3 HAL ships I have sailed plus my next HAL ship all in PE the same day.  I'm pretty sure that's a first.

Is the Oasis OTS supposed to be there?  In addition to or instead of Majesty?

Morning all,

[Krazy Kruizers]

Veendam is getting closer.

According to the Marine traffic map yes, both.

[puppycanducruise]

Thanks for the reminder, hope I got here in time.

[Krazy Kruizers]

Veendam has arrived in Ft Lauderdale.

[seagarsmoker]

[puppycanducruise]

There's the Veendam, all lit up.  She looks great.

[ski ww]

Veendam arriving.

[Krazy Kruizers]

Zuiderdam is not too far out in the Atlantic.

[rafinmd]

Of course, as Veendam arrived I got the pulsating circle.

I thought this ship was in port yesterday.

I'm wondering, just back from drydock and a deadhead transatlantic, perhaps she stayed overnight.

[rafinmd]

Pilot number 5 appears to be headed for Majesty, so Zuiderdam likely already has her pilot.
