ms Nieuw Amsterdam in Port Everglades January 8, 2022

[Scrapnana]

UPDATE:  I just read on Facebook that this cruise was canceled.  She will have to come into port to disembark the current passengers.  Not sure if her departure time will change.

 

Nieuw Amsterdam will be at pier 26 (starboard to) from 5:30 am - 4 pm.  She will be sailing off on a 7-day Western Caribbean cruise.

 

Also in port are Sky Princess at pier 2 (4:45 am - 4 pm), Emerald Princess at pier 21 (6 am - 4 pm), Allure of the Seas at pier 18 (5:15 am -4:30 pm, and Celebrity Apex at pier 25 (6:15 am - 4 pm).  Carnival Paradise will be at pier 19 from 3:45 am - 4 pm (I believe without passengers).

 

With five ships set to sail at 4 pm it may be a slow sail-away day.

Next up:  Rotterdam on Sunday, January 9.

cancellation is not covid related.  They are repositioning the ship.

So charters are more important than providing the experience that those displaced guests were expecting?

the charters were displaced  as well. Did you even bother to read what I posted?

and yes, charters make a lot more money for HAL than regular cruises.

So I just got a new cellphone, and have downloaded some new-to-me apps. One of them is a marine tracker app. Unfortunately I know NOTHING about it, nor have I even begun to figure out the legends.  However, it appears the Noordam is out there making her way into Port Everglades??

 

 

@ski ww, I see you use an app....is that what you see?

Looks like as it often does Noordam will anchor outside the port and exchange crew by tender with the Neiuw Amsterdam.  It may be visible on the FLL SE cam or one of the FLL beach cams at  times.

But they are repositioning the ship BECAUSE the charters postponed.  Which may well have been a COVID-inspired decision.  The Country Music Cruise scheduled on Jan 15th had some Big Names playing, and those folks may have refused to go on board because of Covid.

I live in Florida, where I usher at a performing arts venue, and we have had quite a few acts cancel January bookings because of the Covid surge.

Checking in. NA listed for 1630 departure.

Apex about to get underway.

Checking in.

Apex not wasting any time today.

[rkacruiser]

Please correct me if I am wrong, it is my understanding that the Nieuw Amsterdam is being repositioned.  If so, to where?  

[erewhon]

3 toots from Apex.

I think repositioned is a misnomer.  Today's cruise is cancelled; charters for the next 2 weeks are postponed.  No new cruises for NA have been anounced. so repositioned to limbo.
