Rare BermudaBound2014 Posted June 26, 2021 #1 Share Posted June 26, 2021 (edited) After a very long wait, today we officially return to sailing from the USA! Even though this is a Celebrity Ship, I think the entire cruise community can breathe a collective sigh of relief. We have much yet to overcome, but when it all shakes out, we are all here because we love cruising and IMO today is a day to celebrate. We should be able to see the first passengers onboard shortly and I know I'll be toasting at sail away. Here is a link to a live webcam for those of you who aren't watching already.

MorganClark Posted June 26, 2021 #4 Share Posted June 26, 2021 (edited) CHEERS to Celebrity Edge and that pioneer Capt Kate for leading the way back! How appropriate is it to have Capt Kate leading the way back?! Edited June 26, 2021 by MorganClark 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How appropriate is it to have Capt Kate leading the way back?! OMGOSH........ I couldn't agree more! I've been cruising since 1987 and she is absolutely my favorite. Ironic that the Equinox is shown in one of the webcams, because that was where I had the pleasure of meeting Capt Kate. Exceptional. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustAPilot Posted June 26, 2021 #7 Share Posted June 26, 2021 And what is NCL waiting for again? Starting their first Caribbean cruise in September during the peak of hurricane season and when everyone is most likely returning to the office/schools? Celebrity, RCL are eating their lunch and they decide to start with Alaska out of all the choices lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaftingJeremy Posted June 26, 2021 #8 Share Posted June 26, 2021 Drove by on my way home last night and the edge was all lit up. Even this afternoon it looks beautiful. Can’t wait to be on the encore in august 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare BermudaBound2014 Posted June 26, 2021 Author #11 Share Posted June 26, 2021 The webcam is zoomed in on the Edge. You can see people out on their balconies and walking around topside. I wish every single person on that ship the absolute best of times! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare BermudaBound2014 Posted June 26, 2021 Author #25 Share Posted June 26, 2021 She has made the turn and is sailing out of the Port Everglades channel. Tug boat still spinning and the horns still blowing. That was a VERY long one year, three months, & three weeks to wait, but the day is finally here!! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
