0bnxshs Posted March 14, 2013 #76 Share Posted March 14, 2013 Yup, meant pm Roy. Sorry about that:) Joanie Oh... somewhere it'll be 5am, I expect. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IRL_Joanie Posted March 14, 2013 #77 Share Posted March 14, 2013 Thanks for the time check. I went for a walk between rainshowers, but now I'm back. Glad you waited for me, Miss Prinsendam! PS My computer time is correct. I will go into my CC settings again to double check - but first things, first. - BTW, is that Eastern time or Eastern Daylight Savings Time?:):):) I'm old school and use EST for NYC time, CST for Atlanta Time, MST for Denver Time, PST for California Time and 1 hour later than PST = Canadian Time as far westt as you can get without being in the Pacific Ocean. Someone else want to use EDST or whatever, be my guest:) I will use what I know:) I refuse to use the new fangled terminology when it makes no sense. Just like Meters vs Feet and Inches. I refuse to use meters since we use Feet and Inches here. Passengers appear to be getting to their Life Boats for the Muster Drill now.

monina01 Posted March 14, 2013 #78 Share Posted March 14, 2013 Good point, Jacqui. Ina, she is off to the Med, first stop in Portugal I think, on a Grand Med cruise, back in Ft. Lauderdale on 17 May when we (me, Jacqui, Sapper1, ncgolferette, JGW321 and gigianne I think have posted here today) board for our Collectors and T/A cruises. :D aha. Souds good. It should be much better weather when you guys head this way :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtl513 Posted March 14, 2013 #79 Share Posted March 14, 2013 There might be no missing lifeboats - they got new ones at the drydock so they might be larger.Or maybe they're limiting capacity to 700 for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monina01 Posted March 14, 2013 #80 Share Posted March 14, 2013 Just like Meters vs Feet and Inches. I efuse to use meters since we use Feet and Inches here. Joanie how 'bout Fahrenheit and Celcius :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sapper1 Posted March 14, 2013 #81 Share Posted March 14, 2013 Since I have no idea what you are referring to, I will let you tell people what times those are. I gave the ones I know. Sorry if I left others out. Did not realize there were more than 5 time zones on the North American Continent....... Joanie Atlantic Time encompasses the Maritime provinces and is one hour later than Eastern time. Newfoundland time is one and one half hours later than eastern time. The rest of Canada forgets we are here so I suppose it is OK if you do :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgw321 Posted March 14, 2013 #82 Share Posted March 14, 2013 Normally they do the muster drill before they sail JG. Normally around the 1 hour mark before sailing Looks like the mustard drill is underway now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare kazu Posted March 14, 2013 #83 Share Posted March 14, 2013 aha.

gigianne Posted March 14, 2013 #86 Share Posted March 14, 2013 Whew - made it back in time to see the Elegant Explorer leave. I was not missing this one. Our friends are on the cruise for the whole 63 days. Good thing they drove to the port - 5 large suitcases and 4 carry-ons. These ladies are big time shoppers - Have a great time Cathy and Anne - Bon voyage - hope to see you May 17th!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry.... :o Yes, they are gathering for mustard now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sapper1 Posted March 14, 2013 #93 Share Posted March 14, 2013 Bobbie, Don't you mean earlier, not later, than eastern time? No. If it is 4 Eastern, it is 5 Atlantic. I used to live on the Maine border and it would be five o'clock if I looked out the front door and four o'clock if I looked out the back. Really. I lived 200 feet from the border. Florida is really south of Toronto. We are much further east here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momatibm Posted March 14, 2013 #94 Share Posted March 14, 2013 I'll bet they pick it up on the way out. If it wasn't needed the davits wouldn't be out and the cables down. It's probably sitting on the port side somewhere waiting for cast off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Vict0riann Posted March 14, 2013 #97 Share Posted March 14, 2013 I really set the cat among the pigeons with my time question, didn't I! I have now sorted it all out and my CC page is saying 1:15 so all is well. We've been in Canada over 20 years and I still have to convert celsius to fahrenheit before I know if I'm hot or not! Same with weights and distances! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lka1012 Posted March 14, 2013 #98 Share Posted March 14, 2013 I had to step out for a moment. Two of the dogs, or rather one of my dogs and my "guest" dog for the week got out. While my dog knows how to get home, my doggie niece does not. Had to chase them down in the car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How is your little one? did not sound too good Tuesday.... ah thanks - little one is not good - her knee is popping out - something has happened between check up three weeks ago and now. So we have to do rehabilitation exercises and she goes back next week. The hopes are that it's just a muscle problem and that will solve the problem. Otherwise they will have to make a deeper groove in her knee and I will be starting all over again:eek: Trust me she will get all of her exercises.
