gordito Posted November 5, 2013 #151 Share Posted November 5, 2013 RADIO: Thanks for excellent review and pictures. When DW, DS, DDinL and I had dinner at itzumi during our May 3, 2013 cruise to Bermuda, enjoyed it inmensly and learned all about cooking on "the rock". Great memory because you brought it back to us. Rebeca and Herb ;) :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pkexton Posted November 5, 2013 #152 Share Posted November 5, 2013 I was watching earlier and boy did a big storm blow thru - the water was lapping over one of the boat dock walls - there were big dark clouds blowing over. Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveK51 Posted November 5, 2013 #153 Share Posted November 5, 2013 (edited) So is GOTS at sea for two days now? Marine Traffic shows her next destination as Baltimore Friday morning, when we board for next cruise. But two days at sea seems like an unnecessary day. Never minds just checked regular Bermuda itinerary, two sea days is normal. Can't wait to board Friday.

Rare Radio Posted November 5, 2013 Author #155 Share Posted November 5, 2013 Hello everyone. . . Grandeur of the Seas left at 4PM today. . .with the help of 2 Bermuda Tugs. It seems that the tugs may have been used due the very high winds. The bow thrusters which are normally used are being aided by the 2 tugs just to get us out in the channel. Once we were in the channel, the tugs break loose and we are on our own. Thanks to one of the Crew who told us why this happened. I have never sailed away from port while being pulled away with tugs. I started today knowing that I just wanted to explore the Dockyard a little more since all passengers must be on board by 3:30PM. I went over near Somerset Village to refuel my scooter before taking it back. The weather was a little bit of everything today. The sun was out, then it got cloudy, then it started to rain, then the sun came back out, then more rain, and finally sunny skies and very high winds. I was able to make it over to Snorkel Park Beach, Bermuda Mini Golf, and the National Museum of Bermuda. I took advantage of the sunny skies by taking many images, a few videos and a couple of time lapse vids (which I will produce and edit later.) I returned back to the ship at about 1:30. I have dinner reservations at 7:30 in the Great Gatsby MDR and I will try to catch the 70’s Disco Inferno Centrum Party tonight. I really must try Casino Royale tonight after dinner and maybe I will stay up for the Royal Poker Tournament at 10:00. Here are a few pics from today. Thanks for the nice comments and thanks for tuning in. Radio The final day in Bermuda was very sunny (for most of the day) It would have been nice if we had this weather yesterday, but I will take what I can get. My drive to Somerset was very scenic I make it over to Snorkel Park Beach, and Bermuda Mini Golf There were just a few passengers here, but no one was swimming I may try Mini Golf next time I am here .

Rare Radio Posted November 5, 2013 Author #156 Share Posted November 5, 2013 (edited) Here are a few more pics. . . Radio I went to the National Museum of Bermuda for about an hour (Just across the street from The Frog and Onion Pub) Admission at the Museum also allows you to see the Dolphins inside. The goats are making sure that the grass stays clipped at the Maritime Museum I love the views from the walls of the Museum There were not too many swimmers today at Snorkel Park Beach I love the flowers that seem to be all over the island. . even in November .

Rare Radio Posted November 5, 2013 Author #157 Share Posted November 5, 2013 (edited) Here are the last pics for now. . .Time for dinner. Radio I guess it’s time to get back on Grandeur. . . I’m glad the sun came out for awhile today. . . Grandeur of the Seas get “pulled” away from the pier slowly. . . The next time I see Kings Wharf may be the new and improved Kings Wharf that may be built for Quantum of the Seas The promenade decks were closed due to safety concerns while we were being towed. Bermuda tugs, Faithful (Bow) and Edward M. Stowe (Stern), were the mighty tugs that helped Grandeur . Edited November 5, 2013 by Radio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Radio Posted November 6, 2013 Author #161 Share Posted November 6, 2013 Hello everyone . . . Good Morning and Welcome to DAY 6 of “LIVE” from Grandeur of the Seas. The seas were causing a lot of pitching and rolling last night onboard Grandeur of the Seas. The Captain suggested that this would be going on all last night and today. An announcement was made several times that Seas sickness meds would be complimentary at guest relations throughout the next 24 hours. I was surprised to see that many passengers never went to the MDR. I missed the Disco Party, and the Headliner Show, but was able to spend a few hours in Casino Royale before I retired (Smile) Today the sun is shining and the seas are moderate . . . I would say there is less rolling, but the pitching is the same for this morning. Many passengers still must be mindful of the handrails in the passageways. The sickness bags are still stationed at most all of the lounges and stairwells There are a ton of activities planned for today, and I have a Bridge tour and Galley tour scheduled. There are many poolside activities as well, and the weather looks good so I am sure that they will all go as planned. We have our 2nd Formal Night tonight, and I am looking forward to the Baked Alaska more so than the Lobster. Battle of the Sexes and Quest are also scheduled this evening. I will try to make it to quest. Here are a few pics from this morning. . . More pics later this afternoon ! Radio My final sunset in Bermuda for 2013 was lovely. . . The Dining room wasn’t very busy last night. . . I had to go to the Concierge Lounge for some energy this morning I love to see an early morning sunrise while at sea It looks like today will provide a lot of sunshine ! Here is our current location . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruzinlady1947 Posted November 6, 2013 #163 Share Posted November 6, 2013 (edited) Good morning Radio. Thanks for this great report. I will be on the Grandeur for Thanksgiving. I love all your pictures, but for some reason, I am not seeing the pictures today. I guess it is something on my computer. I saw all the pictures the previous days, just not today. Anyway, thanks for your live review. You always do such a great job and your pictures are always great. Hopefully the seas will get better as the day goes on. Have a safe voyage home and will anxiously await your next cruise and review. Thanks again. Gwen :) Edited November 6, 2013 by cruzinlady1947 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
