LIVE from the Vision of the Seas Sailing 5 Oct 2012

[Trainman-2]

We had an early morning delivery of "Plain Brown Boxes" and I have no clue what was in them. The guy was able to pass them aboard with only one hand so they weren't too heavy.

Or as in the TV commercials I have seen - one this morning (advertising that they are "shipped" in plain boxes) - incontinence products!:D

Considering Trainman said this is an old fogey cruise, you may be on to something :cool:. Just having some fun with you :D.

 

Thanks for the great pics, this is definitely one of my bucket list cruises, just gotta get the kids through college! Keeping mental notes, keep the info coming.

If you quickly check out the web cam she is just going through the Centennial bridge. Be quick though.

Saw the tail end of it. I didn't realize it takes that long to go through it. But then, I don't know much about what they have to do and how it works. Hope I can see the whole process when they come back this way. Thanks for the heads-up.

 

Trainman, you are doing an excellent job with your report and pictures. Thanks.

[PrincessStar]

Trainman and Judith - thanks so much for taking us along on your cruise.

 

I am loving it! :D

[greeneng]

Thanks for the in-depth review.

 

We will be with you on the flip-flop, San Diego to Lauderdale.

Many years ago, I used to work in those buildings in the background with the red roofs.

Trainman

What happened to the famous "Trainman" breakfast that you ate on previous cruises?

[BecciBoo]

Too cool, watching the water go down as she sits in the lock. Isn't modern technology wonderful...here we sit talking to Trainman and there he sits going through a canal lock thousands of miles away:D There she goes......

Popped a good screen grab from the webcam for those that might have trouble accessing it.

So how long does it take to go completely thru the canal?

 

Can the ships location be tracked? Where is she now?

Looks like she's through. I had to leave the house for part of that but still pretty cool. Looking forward to seeing pics from onboard during the transit.

Takes about 7 to 8 hours to get all the way through.
