Marine Traffic has the ship with an eta around 5am CET which will be 11pm EDT/8pm PDT. https://youtu. be/nFozEhYTEMo Thanks for this. The 5 am arrival most likely means the pilot station (near Hoek van Holland) so it may be awhile after that before she is visible on this camera. Ships mark arrival with the end of the sea passage rather than when they will be alongside. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marine Traffic is showing the ship moving at 10kn and it will be starting its navigation into the harbor in the next 2 hours. Here is a site with all the cams available to watch its journey. You can also scroll down to the official port arrivals and departures listing and 6:15am CET (12:15am EST) is currently listed for the ship. https://www.portofrotterdam.com/en/experience-online/webcams# Edited April 18, 2023 by Destiny0315 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Vict0riann Posted April 18, 2023 Author #510 Share Posted April 18, 2023 (edited) Yay! We are here! Just a beautiful sail in. We were up at 6 to participate as we slowly, silently backed all the way in. But first, yesterday. We had a quiet morning, went to lunch in the Lido, and headed for our tour as advised on the Navigator, waited a little while in BBKing’s. Our bus lefts just a few minutes late, and Robert, our guide, was very interesting and had grown up in the area. Our tour was a 4 hour tour to the Medieval City of Rye, the drive there took about an hour and a half, and judging by what the guide said about the timing of our tour, I figured we would be late for the 6:30 all aboard time. The guide assured me we would be alright, as the route back to Dover would be different and shorter. And it was. We were the last bus back, though, and by the time we boarded it was 6:32…. Captain waited for us. A few scenes from Rye. We walked around and then had a “son et lumiere “ presentation in the Heritage Centre.

Rare Vict0riann Posted April 18, 2023 Author #511 Share Posted April 18, 2023 We went for a kir royale in the Ocean Bar before dinner, and saw a familiar face - Captain Albert was sitting there, with his wife and friends. How nice that they could be on board for the arrival in Rotterdam! We chatted, and took a few pictures. His new book on HAL should be coming out soon. Dinner was in CO with Martha and Tony. Menu and a bit of food porn follow…. (Sorry for the shadows) 15 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Vict0riann Posted April 18, 2023 Author #512 Share Posted April 18, 2023 Another hour’s time change forward meant we went to bed quite late - and woke early for our 6 a.m. sail in (Tony said he was up at 4:30!), and I went out on the verandah to take pictures in the cold. It was very impressive as we backed into our parking space. 12 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Vict0riann Posted April 18, 2023 Author #517 Share Posted April 18, 2023 We had lunch in the Lido, nothing extra special on the menu. People are coming and going from tours. We are going off about 4. They are setting up the Lido pool area for the ceremony at 8 tonight, thousands of tulips. Filling the hot tubs with tulips! 20 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dropframe Posted April 18, 2023 #524 Share Posted April 18, 2023 Hope ours turns out OK. We had to skip LeHavre where all the food and gala goodies were supposed to be on-loaded. They had to scramble to get supplies for the gala in Zeebrugge (Bruges) on the 17th. They closed Pinacle and Canaletto last night saying they needed their staff to prep for the Gala.

Can you see what is above this? Maybe I have to do them one at a time, but it takes ages. Maybe I’ll try tomorrow in Ireland! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
