Koningsdam  is backing up...  ZOOM...

 

I think the camera operators are tuned into the Super Bowl a little early today.

Checking in

Looks like the Statendam is dropping some lines as well.  Maybe we will get a short HAL parade and a toot off.

I asked, on the facebook page, why the wave requests, etc. weren't happening and this was the reply: 

 

This is a chronic issue with Comcast which we will address with them for the 100th time. However, until we can get a satisfactory resolution, coverage of sail-aways will be limited with little or no wave-request zooming. Apologies to those we miss.

 

 

[Krazy Kruizers]

Getting a bit of a close up.

Koningsdam backing up.  No send off toots from sister ships?

I have been wondering about the "waves" as well.

 

Thanks for getting an answer for us.

[travelnap]

Let the toot off begin.

[ski ww]

Nice farewell toots, battle of the toots. Have to go, Bon Voyage fair winds & smooth seas.

[Krazy Kruizers]

Much better close up.

[St Pete Cruiser]

Ok, that's better. K'dam and S'dam with sisterly toots.

[luvteaching]

You're welcome on getting an answer. All those toots! My DH said it was the "Back up horn"! We have the Fort Lauderdale camera on the TV (ROku stick) and the Port Everglades on the computer. It works!

Statendam dropping all lines and will follow her sister out.

[Krazy Kruizers]

The 2 HAL ships are saying good bye to each other.

[Krazy Kruizers]

Koningsdam is moving forward.

[St Pete Cruiser]

K'dam looking good on FTL cam.  Of course I am just a little prejudiced.

[Krazy Kruizers]

Wishing all the Koningsdam passengers a great cruise.

[travelnap]

Nieuw Statendam is underway as well.

[65 Gator]

I'm not sure why Comcast is to blame.  For sure, the constant buffering is because of low bandwidth but the focus on WAVES is for the camera operators.  I thought they were PTZ employees...  Guess I don't understand the dynamics...

[Krazy Kruizers]

3 long toots from the Koningsdam

[travelnap]

Nice long toots from the Kdam.

Nice to see the Pinnacle sisters tooting and leaving port together - they're clearly the best looking ships in Port Everglades!

Good job K'dam.  Now it's Statendam's turn.

[Krazy Kruizers]

We should be zooming in on the Nieuw Statendam.
