Someone on another post who was on board yesterday heard they may have struck a whale?

Wow, coming in as late as I have, I certainly didn't expect to see the Nieuw Amsterdam still in port!  

 

I started posting Sunday's sail-aways and was very surprised when I checked the port schedule.  She does look very pretty all lit up and a zoom on her.

Do you have a link?  Hard to search on a cell phone.

Another travel adventure for the good ship Nieuw Amsterdam's guests!

NA now listed on Port Everglades / Broward County vessel traffic website to depart Port Everglades on Dec 16 at 11:11am from Pier 21 with next port listed as TBD.  Looks like the NA will see sunrise, sunset, and another sunrise before she sails...

Looks like a bunch of Police boats around her on the webcam

At 10pm tonight, she is listed to be moved from Pier 26 to Pier 21. Maybe the pier move is taking place?

I saw the police boats around her.  She will lose a port or more.

Any update from the ship on anticipated departure?

FYI, the above Broward County website shows scheduled vessel activity at Port Everglades. NA had been scheduled to move piers at 10pm tonight but that was changed and is now scheduled to be moved to Pier 21 at 2am tomorrow.

I won't be staying up that late.

She is finally headed to pier 21.

Transfer to her new pier is almost complete.  Only took them 45 minutes to do it, but she is there.

A potential (alleged) whale strike would have more than likely impacted her bow and not her azi-pods

Must be a lot of up set people having to spent extra time in port  waiting to get fixed, wonder if they opened the bar for free or Happy hour booze? 

[iamwiz82]

We just got the following letter.

That letter was a very good letter. I wonder if the repair will require a dry dock to properly repair the Azipod?

Looking at several weeks of cruises. 

[ger_77]

At least the passengers are being apprised of what has been happening.  Best wishes to all; I'm sure it's a a big disappointment to everyone, whether it's a lengthy delay or a cancellation.

 

Smooth Sailing!  🙂🙂🙂

Good eye; I didn't catch that one.  That'll be costly, if it has to be taken out of service.

I think they could get it done in a few days.

I wonder who her Captain is.  

Just disembarked her yesterday. Captain Tuvu, a.k.a Captain Bye Bye is at the helm
