MS Volendam in Port Everglades, Wednesday, April 22, 2020

[rafinmd]

The Volendam is making another of her stops in Port Everglades for refueling and reprovisioning.  She is due to meet the pilot at 06:30 and should come on camera roughly 7AM, going to pier 26, port must.  She will be preceded by Island Princess a half hour earlier going to pier 19.  The 2 Carnival ships are still in port at terminals 2 and 4.

 

Departure is scheduled for the Volendam at 16:30, Island at 17:00, and Carnival at 20:00, almost certain to be changed.  Both the Volendam and Island will eventually be making crew repatriation voyages to the Philippines, Indonesia, India and South Africa.

 

I just looked and the Fort Lauderdale webcams are still out of service so the only cam available will be the main Port Everglades one:

Good morning @rafinmd, are you usually up and about this early?

 

Can you check if the PE cam is working for you as I am getting the message 'This content is currently unavailable'?

[rafinmd]

The camera is ok for me at the moment.  I'm usually up between 5:00 and 6:30 in the morning.

Good morning.

The webcam did not work for me at first, but after 2 or 3 attempts, I got it!

That was an interesting vessel... what was it?

[VMax1700]

Star Luster - cargo ship.

Island Princess will be appearing any minute................

[rafinmd]

Port schedule indicates Star Luster was carrying yachts.  I didn't see the arrival but the yachts may have made it look a bit odd.

Yeah, couldn't sleep so here I am. Rarely do I get to see a sail in. 🙂

[rafinmd]

Any second now.

Thanks for the pictures.  My webcam froze up and I almost missed her.

Got here just in time to see her coming into the picture!

She's beautiful.

Our first cruise, many years ago, was on the Volendam.

Keep healthy everyone.  Hope we are cruising again in the not too distant future.

[dobiemom]

That's it for me. Going to try to try to get a couple hours shut eye. Maybe I'll see y'all this afternoon. 🙂

Thanks for the reminder, Roy. 

[VMax1700]

I hope to be back this evening for sailaway.  Off to the supermarket now for some groceries!

Stay safe everyone.
