and white stacks. (they were demolished about 4 weeks later, so don't look for them.)
In December 2009, Royal Caribbean International began using Port Everglades as the home port for the
the Oasis of the Seas, which sails each Saturday; in late 2010, she was joined at Port
Everglades by her sister ship Allure of the Seas, which sails every Sunday.
A regular tradition of the condominium residents who live next to the channel of Port Everglades in
Everglades House, Sky Harbor East and Point Of Americas I and II is to bid bon-voyage to cruise
ships as they embark on their voyages from Port Everglades. To wish the passengers a happy voyage
the residents blow horns and ring bells, with the ships usually responding by blowing their horns
back. Some residents fly flags of the ships to pay patronage to having sailed on the ship.
