Lots of people prompting for toots and a response although the first few notes sounded a bit off.

[Krazy Kruizers]

Yes -- Love Boat toots -- but they are a little off!!

[Happily@Sea]

There you go, Roy. At least, one note is flat.

Are the winds still up that the Nieuw Amsterdam needs a tug?  Or is she still having problems?

They are having rip currents and 15 mph winds according to earlier information.

Pretty sure she is still on one Azipod.  Seems to be cruising pretty normally but tug required in US ports.  Veendam had tugs coming in as well and I'm not quite sure why.

I read that this morning -- was hoping the weather had improved.

[ger_77]

Wow, that was a quick swing-around with the current and the tug!

[Krazy Kruizers]

Wishing all the Nieuw Amsterdam passengers a great cruise and a Happy New Year.

[St Pete Cruiser]

NA looking good.  I thought she went to Freeport to repair the azipod???
