0bnxshs Posted April 22, 2015 #727 Share Posted April 22, 2015 Thanks Rich... That is not happy news as I rely on Dropbox for many apps... Will have to experiment and learn some new methods. I wonder if they will block iCloud as well. If you get the chance, would you kindly ask about that... Thanks Leon Happy to do so, Leon. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruz chic Posted April 22, 2015 #728 Share Posted April 22, 2015 (edited) Maybe now the test of the passengers will get the message to pay attention to the time. In Guatemala the other day we were 1/2 hour later than scheduled getting back to the ship because several people were wandering around Antigua. The tour guide was getting a little frantic. We didn't weren't late departing but still, then today we had a couple come strolling back to the bus 15 minutes late. While I'm not usually a person that is early for stuff, the idea of missing a bus or ship in a foreign country really helps me to think about the time! On my last cruise we were parked in such a way in the port that I could get a birds eye view of the port. I could see for quite a ways. The stranglers strolled back to the ship several minutes after all aboard with no sense of urgency. It's truly amazing to me.

sail7seas Posted April 22, 2015 #729 Share Posted April 22, 2015 Wonderful photo, Ann. Doesn't seem to be a cloud in the sky. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PathfinderEss Posted April 23, 2015 #730 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Awesome webcam capture Vict0riann, thanks for posting, it looks beautiful. Love that bar area where you can look back at the ship. Sorry for those passengers left at the dock, they have a long haul up to PV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nana51 Posted April 23, 2015 #731 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Another reason I use ship excursions. Especially in a foreign country like Mexico. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dobiemom Posted April 23, 2015 #732 Share Posted April 23, 2015 The Indonesian crew show is this afternoon at 3, which I think is great! I have a difficult time staying up for an 11p.m. show, and I imagine the cast does, too. Off now, to find seats. I LOVE the crew show, whether Indonesian or Filipino. And I agree, 3pm is a much more reasonable time. Hope you enjoyed the show! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Vict0riann Posted April 23, 2015 #733 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Someone at our dinner table tonight said that if it was the couple she thought it was, they might have just decided to have a couple of days in Huatulco before flying up to PV! Can you imagine doing that without even bothering to let the ship know! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you imagine doing that without even bothering to let the ship know! If this is true, they certainly should have taken their passports. Anyways, very inconvenient for the ship! I'm glad the Captain didn't wait too long! Thanks for the photos of the Westerdam in Huatulco!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glad the Captain didn't wait too long! Thanks for the photos of the Westerdam in Huatulco!! You're right, it really doesn't make much sense if that was their plan, not to take passports. I imagine they just got left behind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruiser Andi Posted April 23, 2015 #736 Share Posted April 23, 2015 If they didn't take their passports, how did the ship get them to leave them at the port? I'm guessing they were locked in the room safe but maybe not? Just a question out of curiosity. Never considered this before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Vict0riann Posted April 23, 2015 #737 Share Posted April 23, 2015 We were told, at the Navigation Q & A, I think, that someone went in to their safe and got out passports and a credit card and left them with the port agent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you! That makes sense. I'd be afraid to be "stranded" in a foreign country. Sounds like you are all having an exciting trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PathfinderEss Posted April 23, 2015 #739 Share Posted April 23, 2015 (edited) I'd hate to be down there without a passport, not being citizens of Mexico. Also hope they had a good credit card with a nice high limit. Edited April 23, 2015 by PathfinderEss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zelker Posted April 23, 2015 #740 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Today we are in Huactulo, which is a truly beautiful and clean spot. Along with Lizzie and her husband we did something today that took us completely out of our comfort zone. Last year we had met up with a taxi driver called "The Brother", who spoke Spanglish and took us around locally. We enjoyed him so much that I arranged for him to meet the four of us this AM. Hi, Sapper - Sounds like a great adventure. We'll be in Huatulco in December. Can you share contact info for The Brother, please? If you would rather not post it here, you can email me at barb dot h at Comcast dot net. Thanks! Barb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zelker Posted April 23, 2015 #741 Share Posted April 23, 2015 (edited) This is the little boy I wrote about...the one holding the crocodile pencil case who went back to give DD a huge hug of thanks. A picture truly IS worth a thousand words. And what a wonderful - and lasting, I hope - memory for your DD. PS - Cute pencil bags! And so fun to whip up although I must admit I do not enjoy sewing in zippers. :p Edited April 23, 2015 by zelker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare kazu Posted April 23, 2015 Author #742 Share Posted April 23, 2015 (edited) great pic Vict0riann - thanks:) more good news from Vict0riann......are you ready for this? There was going to be a special wine tasting tomorrow (and there still is), but it now conflicts with our cabin crawl since we had to change the time due to the mariner's receptions and lunch. So Vict0riann had to cancel explaining they had a prior commitment. When Ingo (our cellar master found out) he asked Vict0riann and she explained and suggested a wine tasting for the Sail a Way Gang. Ingo is all set to do it for us :) He needs a minimum of 10 and we have 8 already. :) What a great offer from our cellar master. All roll call members reading, give me a dingle if you are interested. And I WILL be asking:) We are setting it for the 26th - the day before San Diego (I think that is our only sea day before San Diego when some are getting off). Tomorrow is just too, too busy. Mariners reception, luncheon, cabin crawl and the fun get together after. Who knew sea days could be so busy?

Rare kazu Posted April 23, 2015 Author #743 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Can't resist. Those that know kazu, know that she likes her flowers. here are the ones from HAL for the room (pretty standard - although they have already been changed twice which is nice). and here is the one I got when we docked in Puerto Chiapas. 50 pesos - about $3.75 U.S. you gotta like it :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She and her DD did them :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lizzie68 Posted April 23, 2015 #745 Share Posted April 23, 2015 (edited) OK another version..... the Dining Room manager (who is a friend so I tend to believe him) told us the couple did get back to the ship and he had spoken to them himself. So many rumours, are, circulating but I am sure they got heck, for not responding quicker to the call to report.

Now they have a whole day to make their way to Puerto Vallarta as tomorrow is a sea day. The bartender confirmed that their passports were left at the port. we, once again, didn't hear any horns. This time we were in the Vista Lounge for the crew show. Edited April 23, 2015 by dobiemom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
