Hi OctagonMike,

 

Yes , I have been able to visit him several times on previous contracts but will not be during this one unfortunately ( we are some of the lucky ones as some crew dont ever get to see thier familes while on contract)..there are discounts for family members for different cruises but not usually a huge discount and not always available because the ships are already so full..

 

Thanks for dropping in to say HI to him!

Hey Leslie....will he be in the chamber thursday's nine day cruise? I will say hello to him for sure if he is there!

Fantastic pictures as usual Radio!!! Can't wait until your next report to see what you do in Bermuda. This is my first time to Bermuda!

Well goodnite everyone. Going to watch Saturday Nite Live with Betty White as the hostess. I am sure the Explorer is readying for sail.

Pretty windy here. See you all tomorrow to get the reports!

I just disembarked today and yes, you still need to take the shuttle bus. :)

 

Radio, also thanks for posting the pics of us backing up into port today! :D

Oh my gosh....and you do realize Suzanne is getting on today as well??? hehe All too funny with Radio and you.

Hope you so enjoyed the cruise. Glad you are home safe and sound. what time were you allowed to disembark?

Can't wait to hear your reports. I come onboard Thursday! Safe travels tonight. We have 40mgh gusts here right now in Delaware.

Thank you once again for taking great pics today.

Hi Radio,

 

Have a great cruise, always love your live reports. I just got back from the Summit last Sunday and we had a great time in Bermuda. We are going back next May, so look forward to see what activities you do while there.

 

Is Mrs. Radio with you?

 

Look forward to reading all about your cruise.

 

Thanks again

Suz

Hi Suz!!!! How are you doing? We are getting on the explorer on the 13th. Suzanne is also on this cruise with Radio and she is doing b2b. talk to you soon

Gosh never thought of that and it is a great idea. My flamingo tattoo on my ankle is from the Flamingo Resort in Las Vegas....hmmmmm the emblem could be on the other....oh thank you thank you for a great idea.

We love Dave Chapman!!!! He is wonderful but just being off the liberty last month...wow so impressed with James Andrews. His staff was fantastic too. We love the gang on Explorer!!!! So we are very excited when we have Bingo Boy Dave Chapman as our Cd and Capt Ryan at the helm!!!! It is better than being in good hands with allstate! lol

Jonathan your posts are wonderful. I feel as though we are somewhere on the ship with you when you write. Thank you so much for including us on your voyage.

Thanks a million for posting the Noordam Cake Picture, it's great to see her again at anchor in the Crows Nest. Thanks for the mention of Marks & Spencers, will go there tomorrow.

 

Thank you also very much for your warm wishes, NYCDeb, Geonna, Boytje (Peter), Bell Ringer (Mary Lynn).

 

Peter,

No it wasn't us partying at 5 pm. Unfortunately we had to bid our guests farewell at 3:30 pm. I didn't see what time the Norwegian Gem left, they usually pull out at 4pm, perhaps they were toasting specialty beverages.

 

Mary Lynn,

Thanks a lot for the store suggestion at 49 Front Street. I pretty sure I ran across something of that description in a recent google search.

 

And thank you very much to one of you very friendly posters who asked Bermudalady for a suggestion, I really appreciate it.

 

A big swath of warm sunshine blasted across the ocean about twenty minutes ago, and continues to burst through the still thick cloud layer. Hoping for sunny Bermudan skies.

 

Thanks again JoAnn.

 

Jonathan

Congratulations! We wish you much happiness! I just love your cake!!!!!

Hi Dave,

 

It's a similar itinerary. Bermuda, Madeira, Lisbon, Cadiz, Morocco, Barcelona, Monte Carlo, Livorno and final stop in Rome.

 

Unfortunately missed trivia today in the Crows Nest. The questions included what is the size of a hockey puck? Who were the two actors to decline their Oscars? And what was the nationality of Aladdin?

 

Hoping to get the Noordam Wedding Cake picture posted here soon, it was a real beauty, she is currently moored in our apartment back in New York.

 

Jonathan

This is so wonderful to hear about a wedding on this fine ship! If you could possibly do something for me this would be wonderful. There is a fine young man in the dining room named Petersen Fernandez from India now working on your ship! He comes to you from Royal Caribbean and my family and I are very fond of him. He is outstanding in his service and his personality is top notch! If you get a chance to say hello, please do so and tell him Cris and Dee say hello and for him to check his email! We are so jealous that you have him on board and with your cruiseline! Thank you for sharing your adventures live to us. I have been checking out the ship that he is assigned to and I am very impressed to hear such wonderful stories and experiences. thank you again.

As DH and I have only been on the Explorer (four times), we are looking at Panama canal for 09. we would like to know if anyone has a favorite grand suite location and if wifi is available in these and any information on the suite 1600 corner aft.

Thank you for helping. I hope this thread becomes as great as our explorer thread. We are looking forward to booking on the Jewel.
