Good views from the webcams.  It is a beautiful morning here in St Petersburg, so I am headed out, but will look for a replay later.  Amsterdam forecast is for rain and colder tomorrow, so hope they are not delayed.

Thanks for the link; as the camera opened, I was able to see people walking through the jetway (is it still a jetway if it's connected to a ship, or is it a shipway?) onto the ship and my heart skipped a beat, I was so excited for them!

 

Smooth Sailing!  🙂🙂🙂

I can also see her live on the webcam May she have a long and safe "sailing career" for HAL. I look forward to boarding her through that "jetway" on June 19 next year.

In front of the ship it looks like one of the tenders in the the water. There is one missing on portside.

Bon voyage to our friends onboard, Marty and Gail, and Jeff and Joyce.

Right .. it is port side. My mistake.

Thank you! Great webcam views!

[NavArch64]

One more question ... why isn't Rotterdam (and Eurodam) starting to show up on the CDC CSO ship status chart? Can they berth at PEV without being on the chart?

[NavArch64]

Excerpt from CDC ...

"With the exception of cruise ships operating in Florida, all cruise ships operating in U.S. waters, or seeking to operate in U.S. waters, must comply with the requirements of the CDC Framework for Conditional Sailing Order (CSO) and Technical Instructions, even when outside of U.S. waters."

Thanks very much Ine for the links 🙂

Looking forward to boarding in January !

Thanks for the links’s.

Finally looked at the longer distance view of the ship ... now I see the missing portside lifeboat in the water just alongside of the bow. I should have looked at this view first ... all would have been clear.

The captain just announced we are not leaving until at least 10:30 PM this evening. We will also miss the stop in Zeebrugge  tomorrow and go right to Le Havre.

I don’t seem to be able to get the webcam.  It just says “Currently Offline”. Could you post the link again?

It's looking more like leaving on a hospital ship...

Thanks, Ine!

Too bad the departure is delayed till 10.30 pm local time. Of course it will be dark by then,!!  Anyway to those on board, have a great cruise.

[atexsix]

So it's not leaving for another 5 hours?

Because of the wind no doubt. Larger ships are not allowed through the IJmuiden locks with side winds above force 5 on the Beaufort scale and above (17-21kts). Wind is far higher than that, until late at night, when it dies down a bit.

And have a feeling that this won't be only port to be cancelled.
