Just a tad envious when I see the temperature in FLL right now.  We're in the midst of  winter snowstorm that dumped 11 inches on us yesterday and we're expecting another 9 before tomorrow morning.  There's at least 3 feet of drifted snow on our driveway, so it's really nice looking at palm trees and cruise ships for a little while.  Notice I haven't used any metric measurements?  LOL

Gerry, we feel for you.  We have had a strange winter here this year.  Yours has been much worse.

Buffering has started on my computer - I hate to refresh - because of the ad delays.

Caribbean Princess to finally get our parade moving today.

[JazzyV]

Looks like Princess will be first.

[Cruise Suzy]

Princess moving

[Vict0riann]

Made it in time!  I'll be waving at @0106 !

Marine Tracker showing Carribean Princess coming. Let's hope we get a toot or two from someone today. 

[Cruise Suzy]

Can see Princess

[Happily@Sea]

There she is backing out.

There's the Carribean Princess.

Looks like a nice day for a wonderful sailaway

Skies are black and it’s thundering. Ascent is dropping their lines. NS is next.

Has anyone else noticed that Caribbean Princess has her handle on the rear of the ship instead of the side of the ship like the newer Celebrity ships, or is it just me?

Reminds me of a grocery cart.

That class has been around for awhile. They have always reminded me of a grocery cart,

Doesn't matter checking in late as I see she's not on time.

[Denise T]

Someone's toots.

[Happily@Sea]

One early toot.

The wheels must be below the waterline.  A few toots though.

That's exactly how people describe the old Princess ships.  Skywalkers Lounge is up there inside that shopping cart handle.  And they have the escalator going up to it.

[Vict0riann]

That is a large ship!
