It's out there. What fun to watch!! Yay!

Just saw it leave! Very cool. Something normal.

Huh, OK. I wonder if they have moved up their regular sailing time. Hope to see the same sight in person, in the near future!!

do you think the smaller boats on either side of it lit up were a send off as first cruise ship out? The other cruise ships were lit up sitting there. Very pretty. A feeling of some return to normal. 🥰

I wondered if they left then as everyone was on board?

We sail Holland America and when you register you get a plastic room key which is scanned when you go aboard. Anytime you get off they scan it so they know at all times who is and isn't aboard from the ships passenger registry. I'm sure all cruise lines do the same procedure.

My seat mate on CTL to SXM leg was going on the cruise. He said they all had to be on the ship by 3 or 4 PM (can't remember which).
