  1. Today the sunrise photo is sitting outside Port Said waiting our turn? to enter the canal. We have never cruised in this area. I post these pictures both here and on the QE location thread so please let me know if I should be doing it in one location. Some people check one or the other.
  2. Sfred, thanks for directing me to the QE internet access points and great job. We are outside Port Said at the moment and the sunrise is very pretty again today. According to cruisemapper, there are two cruise ships near us. The first I saw was Celebrity Edge and the second was Silver Spirit. I am adding a picture of the Edge as it seemed impressive and a different look.
  3. Yes John, your tip worked perfectly! Thanks again!
  4. You QLD sunrise is nice as is the photos of your grand dogs. Here is one from this morning on our way to the Suez Canal (I also put it on the other thread QE location). The first picture is the morning we arrived in Crete while the second is our first sea day enroute to the Suez Canal.
  5. LOL....After I attached I saw "my DH's" biscuits wanted their picture taken without me even catching it.....thanks for alerting me.
  6. Sunrise near Crete #1 and then a few minutes or so later. I am trying to strategically use the CWC Diamond internet allotment so will be trying to post pictures every few days. I wish they would go back to the minute allotments rather than these 24 hour blocks. The spped has been ok for us as we do the minimal and no streaming. I have noticed the internet boxes in the staterooms hallways and may try to do reconnaisance? to list where these boxes are on each deck if I have the time. If anyone has questions let me know and I will try to answer. I will also try to do a final trip report later.
  7. On QE at the moment and here is the kettle and supplies in our balcony cabin.
  8. Day 3 Photo of moon setting and then sunrise. Any way to separate the pictures so it doesn't appear as one? Sea day enroute to Crete tomorrow.
  9. Thanks John! I will have to remember your tip!
  10. Our first morning sunrise on our way to Heraklion, Crete. Sorry, dont know why it turned upside down. 😞
  11. Thank you sfred for your bon voyage and the nice overhead shot of Port Vell where cruise ships dock. There was recent news talking of how Barcelona was reducing some docks in the Nord Barcelona area. This reduction is not regarding Port Vell. I will try to get some shots along the way. Here is one from the Palacruceros terminal of the front of QE thru the paned windows. I just am not tall enough to catch a better glimpse of her name or other better features.
  12. Thank you for taking us along on your trip as I have enjoyed my morning routine starting with your blog and a cup of coffee.
  13. The closing of that Walmart does not surprise me as when we went there last year, it was looking very tired and disorganized. We went to the Longs on a previous cruise but found it to be more expensive, but still a good place to check out.
  14. Hi, we were docked near the Aloha Tower (which is interesting to walk around) and you can walk towards a Walmart (a smaller one)located at the corner of King and Fort St., for provisions and that is about a 10-20 minute walk at a leisurely pace. We went there but there is a much better one near the Ala Moana Mall. You can also walk to the Ala Moana Center which takes about 20-30 minutes and has lots of shops, restaurants, etc. There is another larger Walmart near there as well. That is also the location for a lot of bus stops. You can continue on from there to walk to Waikiki if you like to do a lot of walking and there is quite a bit to see along the way, or you can take a bus. It was really hot when we were there so if you choose to walk remember sunscreen, hat and to bring some water. I think there is also a bus stop right near where the ship docks so you could take a bus to the Ala Moana Center and walk to Waikiki from there to reduce some of the walking. There is also a lot of info on Honolulu on the PORTS OF CALL section.
  15. I had friends that did just that, spoke to the steward and request granted.
  16. I have been enjoying your blog from Carnival to Cunard and it has been great to follow your travels! One quick question. We will be heading to Barcelona soon and wondered which Barcelona offline maps app you downloaded as we think that is a great idea! Thank you in advance!
  17. I am on my way over to check out your blog. One quick question. We will be heading to Barcelona soon and wondered which Barcelona offline maps app you downloaded as we think that is a great idea! Thank you in advance!
  18. I always think of him and wonder how he is and wish we could hear from him.
  19. I tried refreshing and nothing happened, but just now when I went back it was ok. Thank you!
  20. I just came back and thought I had missed sailaway, but see there has been a schedule change. Good I can still watch. My screen is having the rotating circle continuously though, any suggestions?
  21. Thanks sfred, victoria2 and pushpit! All valud points and I value you all. Thanks again.
