[LBumb]

enjoy Bermuda

No news since breakfast? Trainman must be really busy or the wifi on board is down.

 

Thanks for taking us along!

[Trainman-2]

Jim .. still impressed with the pictures from your new camera .. are these taken in normal mode .. or some enhanced mode?

The camera has a "Super Vivid" option for every photo taken. I normally use it only for landscape like photos. When I upload them to the notebook I compare them and select the best of the "regular" or "super vivid."

 

The Island of Bermuda is now in sight off the Port side.

 

Regular

 

 

Super Vivid

 

 

Sometimes the difference is small, as above, and sometimes the difference is so great that the "super vivid" photo looks "funny."

 

The sun set photos from last night were all using the "super vivid" option.

Great report, this is a fabulous itinerary.

 

So glad Judith is better.

 

Saw the Summit just leave the camera area and Breakaway is pulling up its ropes. You may be the only ship there tomorrow!

 

Have a great visit.

We had lunch in the Windjammer today.

 

Judith had two bowls of the excellent Cream of Chicken Soup.

 

 

I had one bowl of soup and was in the mood for a sandwich of cold cuts. (Mystery Meat) but the bread was so dry that I ate all of the insides like a salad.

Thanks for the live review! I have one question I am hoping you can help me with. Does the casino on board have a Craps table? I know you may not be the gambling type but I would be very grateful if you could help me answer this question!

 

Thanks in advance!

 

Not Trainman but can answer your question, there is one craps table on Vision. When we on last month it was pretty busy every night ($10 minimum bet I want to say but not positive)

Just watched Celebrity Summit depart towards Northwest on Port Bermuda Webcam while Vision was sailing on Southeast side on island towards port.

 

Wishing we were there!

[Trainman-2]

We walked out of the Windjammer and to the Smoking (Other Activites) Area on the Pool Deck just in time for the Belly Flop Contest.

 

The Ship's Senior Officers were also scoring from DEck 10.

Lots of reading and card playing on a Senior's Cruise...

I am glad to see that Judith is eating, and feeling better! Also really glad that they let you out of the men's room last night, in time to take those beautiful sunset pictures!

[dixieva]

Just saw the Vision on the webcam! You'll be there before you know it.

You're due into Bermuda at 6:30ish. I can watch you dock via the Port of Bermuda live webcam.

 

Your Itinerary looks interesting with the stop in Charleston. What did you do and see there.

[Fisherlady48]

I can see you slowly sailing in!! This is so cool!!

Yup, until Sunday morning when the NCL Dawn arrives.

If you go back a few pages he has everything from their lunch spot with friends and the "excursion" listed

[maxs mom]

Oh.....I saw my friend, DeDe, the Guest Services Manager, judging the contest!

 

Jim.....you are sitting in Super Mario's "office" when you are enjoying your Other Activities! Too bad he is not on board now.

[Beachin2]

You have been aboard for a few days now (and it sounded like it's your first trip on a Vision class) what do you think of the class as compared to other classes? Any particular likes or less than likes?

 

Picture tour of the ship?

[Trainman-2]

Hello Everyone,

 

It is 8:34 pm, Ships Time, as I start this thread and we are settled in our cabin for the night.

 

I am having trouble uploading photos so many of the photos will have to wait for early tomorrow morning to upload.

 

I have a long list of questions and photo requests that I will get to eventually. Many will wait until after we leave Bermuda.

 

We were on the Vision two years ago for a 28 night, round trip, B-2-B Panama Canal Transit. There are lots of changes from the refit, some good (Chops & Giovanni's) and some bad. (no little side mirrors in the bathroom for the ladies to use while brushing their hair)

 

Overall, the ship is in excellent condition (except for one bathroom door lock mentioned earlier) and very clean. The crew is friendly and helpful and we have no complaints.

 

We have not eaten in the MDR and probably will not. We have come to enjoy dinner in the Windjammer or a specialty restaurant more.

 

We consider the food in the Windjammer to be pretty good overall. Occasionally we will try something that is not to our taste and we will go get something else.

 

There is a big difference between something we don't like and something that is poorly prepared or prepared different from what we are used to or expecting.

 

Too many complainers forget this!

 

 

 

I am still stuck waiting for photos to upload so I will be back in a few...

[Trainman-2]

We are tied up at the King's Wharf in Bermuda!
