Silly question.... how is Zuiderdam pronounced?

 

 

Is it like Zigh-Der-Dam? (sounds like cider) or more like Zweee-Der-Dam? (sounds like wheat). Or is it something else?

Dutch friends told me Zai-der-dum.

Magic FINALLY heading out...  

[St Pete Cruiser]

Zuiderdam to quickly follow NA.

After all that effort Magic only had enough energy left for a single toot.  Maybe there will be more as she regains her strength.

[leerathje]

Is there a lifeboat missing on the Magic?

[St Pete Cruiser]

Over 30 minutes for Magic to leave; she needs to be last every week.

[Krazy Kruizers]

Nieuw Amsterdam heading towards the channel.

[travelnap]

A second toot from Magic after taking almost 30 minutes from departure from the pier to making it out of the channel.

[Krazy Kruizers]

Zuiderdam is following her out.

[Vict0riann]

Looks like we're due for a head-on collision - who will make it out first, NA or Zuidy?

 

NA is the leader..

Zuide is underway as well so we should have a HAL parade of two today.

[Krazy Kruizers]

Wishing all the Nieuw Amsterdam passengers a great cruise.

Nice long toots from the NA.

Great job NA 😊

[Happily@Sea]

Must not be any musical performances right now. Good tooting, NA

 

And a few more.

[leerathje]

And a couple more for good measure!

The ships are talking to each other.

[travelnap]

A  few extra toots from the NA.

[dfish]

Great tooting from NA.   Shades of the Queen of Horns.

[Happily@Sea]

Adventure looks to be close behind.

As slow as she is, if she left last she would get in the way of tomorrow’s arrivals.
