    What a conundrum! We have various sources telling us different things!
    This is posted on the site that follows the ship signals:


    Data according to itinerary:

    Current position of M/S Veendam: St. George/Bermuda Islands


    • Time since arrival 27 min from New York/USA (at 08:00 h local time)
    • Time until departure 22 hrs 33 min to Kings Wharf/Bermuda Islands (at 07:00 h local time)
    • Traveled distance since New York: 682.34 nm (1,263.70 km)




    As Norman, said, we'll just have to wait till Veendam arrives at the new port.

    I am just wondering if the schedules have been changed due to Kings Wharf not having a berth till in the morning.

    In any case we are only guessing.

    Report still shows the departure time to be 07:00 tomorrow morning.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p>

    Looks as if we may have to ask Earl to return, anyway whether the ship moves tonight or in the morning, Veendam is in Bermuda and looks as if the weather is nice.<o:p></o:p>

    Very nice weather, indeed!

    I wonder what Earl has been doing today? Does anyone know?

    I still have Veendam at St George, and departing at 07:00 local time. Three sources tell me that is her position, so I am now going to presume she will arrive a King's Wharf at 09:00 local time today.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p>
    <o:p></o:p>
    Norwegian Gem and Celebrity Summit are both due there today, both before Veendam. As Norwegian Gem has a bridge cam may be able to solve the saga as where the ship is.<o:p></o:p>
    <o:p></o:p>
    It seems from the original schedule a slight change has been made, because I cannot see three different sources being wrong.<o:p></o:p>

    I see that the Norwegian Gem's bridge cam seems to be facing seaward so perhaps the Veendam will be seen sailing in.

    We will see when Norwegian Gem arrives at Kings Wharf. Atlantic Ocean looks lovely again.
