MichelleChell Posted February 17, 2014 #1251 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Hi all its been a long time. My MIL is sailing out on NV next Sun. Did I see she just returned from Dry Dock? What did they do to it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare BecciBoo Posted February 17, 2014 #1252 Share Posted February 17, 2014 I just watched her go. My turn next week in one of the new panoramic cabins....hope they get them finished this week, and hope we don't get fog next week. :) Heres what we saw of your cabin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rancher Dave Posted February 17, 2014 #1253 Share Posted February 17, 2014 What hundred block of Mechanic? There are open lots on the west side of 25th to walk the dog. Also the grassy area between the offshore rig museum and Olympia at Pier 21. The downside to being downtown is the noise (Mardi Gras & Biker Rally), ability to get in and out in your car during these events and others when the streets are closed. Hopefully you have garage or designated parking. Any visitors would have to pay to park between 10am and 6pm, except on Sunday and holidays, Just some thoughts. Downtown is great with so much going on every weekend. Only you can make the final decision on which things will make an impact on your lifestyle. Good luck. Perfect info Thanks! 302 Rosenburg I believe is the correct address...parking in a garage which is part of the first floor of the building. Neat looking building. Presume all living quarters are up, as in out of flood zone, I hope... Could easily walk the dogs over towards the oil rig museum and see the ships come and go, both cruise and others.

You can walk across 25th St. (Rosenberg) to a vacant lot for the dogs. All condos are upstairs. If you flood so does the entire island:eek: Just don't leave car in garage:rolleyes: Just remember, if the Condo faces west (Rosenberg) you will have the very hot summer sun which could sky rocket your electricity for A/C. So look for extra insulation and window covering. Otherwise a good location because you are off the main drag of Strand and Post Office streets which can be really busy and noisy.

One learns all these little tidbits living here:D Awesome. Dw lived on West end when working for county government after school and her degrees were earned. She should recall West facing is tough. Beach house on SPI issue arm in afternoon sun but sunsets across bay are awesome. Maybe dd will have less homework so we can see the ships in person this weekend and perhaps see the condo. If I should go back offshore I may consider leaving car n condo garage stead of at heliport but only if getting between two is simple enough. That assumes of course I get a rig crew changing out of Galveston. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of streets closed downtown as the Seawall parades are now coming up 25th (Rosenberg) and go through downtown. One at noon, Gambrinus at 6pm. Check out Galveston.com for parade routes. Needless to say, the Condo would be great for viewing the parades:) If you get it, can we have an invite;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope those cruising don't get bent out of sorts over the reroute in that area You're probably onto something though in that it may be wrong weekend to have a RA show us the place. May be worth seeing Mardi Gras if dd gets homework done timely. One of parents friends has a condo I believe in one of the buildings right in that area, maybe a couple blocks away. Seems mom said it was across from the TexMex place at edge of Strand. Glad fog was tonight and not when cruise ship needed access. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shmthaus Posted February 18, 2014 #1261 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Navigator replacement.... I don't know what this means, but I searched Freedom and Indy's schedule for 2015 and they show sailings from Ft Lauderdale way after Navigator leaves in April 2015. Supposedly Nav is going to San Juan. BUT... Liberty doesn't have any sailings after Apr 2015, the same time frame as Nav... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

austinlw Posted February 18, 2014 #1264 Share Posted February 18, 2014 I'm game. We just got off the fog delayed Navigator Sunday morning. Despite the initial delay, it was a great cruise, and we really enjoyed the ship and crew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do I dare wear it? The internet in Falmouth is great! It's safe to wear Seahawks stuff. Enjoyed watching end of that game. A year ago folks expected it'd be the Texans in there but alas best laid plans so sties fail. News tonight said possible fog on Sunday morning. Ports are shut down right now due to fog.

Cindy Posted February 20, 2014 #1270 Share Posted February 20, 2014 News tonight said possible fog on Sunday morning. Ports are shut down right now due to fog. It's been a rough few days for fog...hopefully the front that's coming will clear things out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lady_cruiser Posted February 20, 2014 #1271 Share Posted February 20, 2014 It's been a rough few days for fog...hopefully the front that's coming will clear things out! I hope so. We board the Navigator on March 2nd. Since we are staying in Galveston the day before we cruise the fog won't be a problem because we can always extend our stay at the hotel for several hours, if need be. BUT, if there is a fog when we disembark on the 9th I will be afraid to drive home in a fog when I am not familiar with the area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TEXASMUNK Posted February 20, 2014 #1272 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Local Houston weather readers saying no fog this weekend...So, as we all know they are accurate 50% of the time.
