Rare VMax1700 Posted January 22, 2020 #26 Share Posted January 22, 2020 Bit of a rough ride in last night and this morning, however we have enjoyed our 10 days on Koningsdam. Looks chilly this morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Djptcp Posted January 22, 2020 #32 Share Posted January 22, 2020 2 weeks from today we'll board the Veendam - hope it warms up by then. It was 32 degrees in Lakeland FL (near Tampa) this morning. We have family visiting us this week from Minnesota - it was about the same temp there this morning. But as my BIL said, No snow and it's sunny here!

Himself Posted January 22, 2020 #33 Share Posted January 22, 2020 It is rather cool in Fr. Lauderdale today. It will not be too crowded in Ft. Lauderdale today with only two ships in port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare rafinmd Posted January 22, 2020 #35 Share Posted January 22, 2020 Koningsdam “confirmed” for 1630. It should not be long now, although I don’t have the internet speed to watch. Roy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krazy Kruizers Posted January 22, 2020 #36 Share Posted January 22, 2020 I doubt if she will leave at 4:30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aliaschief Posted January 22, 2020 #37 Share Posted January 22, 2020 Muster Drill is over. Captain stated we are taking a new route through Old Bahama Channel. This to avoid the low pressure system on original course and 15-20 foot seas. This will not affect any of our ETA’s. The sail away party has been moved to indoor Lido poool. We are on our way. Enjoying from the warmth of Tamarind bar. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShipsAreTheBest Posted January 22, 2020 #39 Share Posted January 22, 2020 Veendam still has gangway attached and it looks like a “cherry-picker” working the upper starboard side. Also (although a little hard to tell from the distance and camera resolution) doesn’t look like the radar scanners are turning yet, so no imminent departure yet.

It sounds like that will be the day's action if the Veendam leaves silently again. Roy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
