ckrobyn Posted February 19, 2015 Author #701 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Why is everyone inside? Is it raining outside? Too windy to be out? Are you allowed on the open decks or are they recommending everyone stay inside? How does the movement compare to the Explorer? Right now there is no access to the outside deck area on 4. There is caution tape everywhere. I believe the pools may also be closed, but I haven't ventured up there yet. We have been enjoying coffee in the CL and we were chatting with some fellow CC peeps.

ckrobyn Posted February 19, 2015 Author #703 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Pretty close to our 469. Hope we have good waiter and assistant waiter as well as head waiter. A few years ago, we had Premad as Head Waiter and he was great. Hi Sherri, Rahul and I were just talking about you [emoji3] all good and he is looking forward to seeing you!

SherriZ366 Posted February 19, 2015 #704 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Update! No Grand Cayman! The ship is pitching and rolling like crazy.

ckrobyn Posted February 19, 2015 Author #705 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Thanks Robyn for posting the photos of your family . There are so many questions being directed your way , I thank you for taking the time on your anniversary cruise to do this. Trainman 2 ...... It was your live reporting on what I believe was this same cruise that got me hooked. I hope , all is well with you ! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk It's really no big deal, I am enjoying it as much as everyone is reading it! I am a big fan of Trainman as well. I follow his daily blog here on CC.

ckrobyn Posted February 19, 2015 Author #706 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Here is another picture of the ocean. It is super windy even though the sun is trying to make an appearance.

FloatMe Posted February 19, 2015 #707 Share Posted February 19, 2015 I am so enjoying this thread. Thanks again for doing this. I am one of the weirdos who enjoys a wavy day at sea. As long as it is only one day! Any chance you could snap a phot of the room service menu? We are considering having hors d'oeuvre in our suite for a group and I was wondering what was offered along those lines through room service. I realize we may have to coordinate it through the consierge, I suppose? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckrobyn Posted February 19, 2015 Author #708 Share Posted February 19, 2015 That's a great idea. Terminal 1 is really easy to find. If you have sailed out of PC before, no GPS required. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SherriZ366 Posted February 19, 2015 #710 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Yes, that's Michael Rasmussen, the Hotel Director. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Thanks for the picture of Michael. It's great that the officers are mixing with passengers in the Royal Promenade and updating them. I wonder if the bands from the very cold system we are getting her in the USA are causing the wind, which cause the waves etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SherriZ366 Posted February 19, 2015 #711 Share Posted February 19, 2015 (edited) Terminal 1 is really easy to find. If you have sailed out of PC before, no GPS required. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk We have sailed out of Port C 17 or 18 times so we are very familiar with the port and surrounding area. I am not worried about finding Terminal 1. We almost always stay at Residence Inn and eat at one of the portside restaurants. We tried to get into Grills last December but could not find parking -- we could see the almost-ready Terminal 1. From our robocall, it sounds like signage will be good. Edited February 19, 2015 by SherriZ366 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EMBFlyer Posted February 19, 2015 #715 Share Posted February 19, 2015 The Captain announced that the sea conditions are not favorable today and it would be impossible for tender operations. The picture I posted does not do the waves justice. We are bouncing around the edge of Grand Cayman. The ship is swaying side to side.... I feel bad for anyone who suffers from sea sickness, this won't be good for them. The Captain is hopeful there will be sunshine later today. Right now he is making a wide turn that will take us away from GC. Feels like a carnival ride! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk He made an announcement!? :eek: Oh my God, it's totally ruining the cruise for those who demand strict silence! :D Seriously, though. Looks pretty rough! I only missed a port one time and that was on our honeymoon. Very rough after we left San Juan and the next day we couldn't get into Grand Turk because of 45+ knot winds at the pier. Hopefully, you're in an isolated area and will be out of it soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We missed Grand Cayman on Mariner once when there was a Tropical Storm. Captain Johnny sailed around the edge of the storm and we were out of the bad weather by mid-day. Had a great sea day.

Beardface Posted February 19, 2015 #718 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Maybe I'm in the minority, but I actually kind of like rough days at sea. I like feeling the ship rock back and forth and I like seeing the impressive force of the ocean/sea/gulf. The one thing about the Oasis that really bummed me out was how little she rocked in the water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodmnky Posted February 19, 2015 #719 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Thank you for the picture of the room service menu. I had heard that Honey Stung Chicken had been removed and it is cool to see it there. My 4yo often ends up eating room service since he doesn't do well with the hustle and bustle of the dining rooms or buffets and the HSC appears to be about as close as we will get to chicken nuggets or tenders.

That has happened to us before.

euphio Posted February 19, 2015 #721 Share Posted February 19, 2015 The Nellie's cabanas are very similar to the Barefoot cabanas. They run $175 to $250 per cabana, and hold up to 6 people. The Adrenaline cabanas are not the same at all, more like tents. I don't know the price of those. Thanks for the info. Anyone else have info about the Adrenaline cabanas? Loving the review - we're on the same itinerary in May! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nanatutu Posted February 19, 2015 #723 Share Posted February 19, 2015 My son & I took a ferry from Calais to Dover years ago. Worst trip ever. It was so rough everyone was laying on the floor with their paper bags. Don't ever want a trip like that again. Hope our cruise on the 8th is Smooth Sailing.

Kycruisefan Posted February 19, 2015 #724 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Finally caught up for now!!! Thanks so much for posting pics! Was wanting to get a cabana for our July cruise but when I look online it makes it seem like I cannot book them. I am not in a suite so I was looking for Nellie cabana. Will keep looking.
