Are there any Passengers.  I thought that all cruises were over?

 

No passengers. All crew as far as I know.

[Yodalicious]

Thanks!

I'm bummed. Both ships left and the camera was frozen or buffering or timing out. Not my day  I guess. Hopefully it will clear up for the next ships.

Caribbean with good toots.

Well, with just about 20 minutes to go (theoretically) you'd expect to see something from Rotterdam's funnels or the longshoremen's white pickup truck, wouldn't you?  Wonder if she'll really be going at 1830?

I'll believe it when I see it.

Zaandam departure changed to tomorrow at 16:00

[VMax1700]

We are all waiting to see those trucks!

Anyone else having trouble with the web cams?  I finally have a live picture on the Ft Lauderdale web cam, but could not get any live pictures for the last 30 minutes. (Not on Port Everglades either). So missed some sail aways, but hope to see our 2 ladies leave.

The birds are certainly making a racket!  I wonder if they are nesting on top of the webcam...

Cameras are fine for me.

wouldn't you just love to be able to pick up a phone and ask why?

[VMax1700]

Rotterdam vocally confirming departure for one eight three zero!

Yes, that communication to harbormaster was certainly a hopeful sign.

[Vict0riann]

That's a little white truck, right?  I only noticed as it had passed by.

 

It is parked now, by the forward lines.

It's a real spring like sound.  Sweet. (unless you are a shift worker trying to get some sleep!)

Since I fell down today would you like to start the thread for Zuiderdam and Zaandam (and Coral Princess) for tomorrow?

I did apologize on yesterday's thread for jumping in, but I just wanted to make sure that all the sailaway gang knew that there were Dam ships to be watched!

If you wish I will be your deputy and start tomorrow's thread! 😉

Yes, Boss ☺️

Maybe she's waiting for the container ship to get through first...

 

Washington Express needs all the help she can get!

The container ship is ahead of her on the schedule, so that's likely.

[VMax1700]

White Trucks!

No mask on the tug driver.  Is he alone?
