bonvoyagebites Posted July 8, 2015 Author #51 Share Posted July 8, 2015 FINALLY! I just wrapped up Day 2, Part 6... Take a peek. Sorry so very very slow. DW added navigation under "Cruises" at the top, so there is a "Table of Contents" sort of page to go to. Please take a look and let us know what you think. I have still been working on that darned video... look for it hopefully sooner than later... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retiredkid Posted July 8, 2015 #52 Share Posted July 8, 2015 another great update and photos!! I like the drop down index Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dchip Posted July 8, 2015 #53 Share Posted July 8, 2015 The site navigation is wonderful. High Five to your DW! :D The update is great, too. Don't stress about timing, it's amazing you were able to do this much. I always have good intentions that go almost nowhere. :eek: Cheers, Denise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonvoyagebites Posted July 8, 2015 Author #54 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Lol. Me too with the grand intentions... I once wanted to sell a cookbook in college bookstores on "101 ways to cook Ramen"... Yeah, that never happened. The only reason I keep going with this review blog post thing, is the positive responses it has been getting. We have plans to be better organized after what we've learned from this experience, and to take notes , etc... Our next journey is October for our 10th Anniversary. It'll be a Royal Caribbean 7-day cruise... So, we'll break in with a new crowd on the RCI forums... hopefully they are as receptive as our new HAL family has been. A longer cruise on HAL with more ports would be nice also.... Hmmm... maybe we should find one.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bonvoyagebites Posted July 9, 2015 Author #56 Share Posted July 9, 2015 Aww Shucks, thanks. I will try to get more done soon. Only one (and a partial) day left of review, and the last day was pretty lazy... but there will be photos. Perhaps more importantly, DW made even more navigation changes last evening (which is funny since I work in IT, you would think it would have been me... but NOOOOoOOO).

bonvoyagebites Posted July 13, 2015 Author #57 Share Posted July 13, 2015 The honey-do list was strong, but Day 3 is underway using 1 engine. I have just posted Day 3, Part 1... and am immediately starting on Part 2... Hopefully pt. 2 will be early tomorrow or late tonight. Organising and rotating the photos has become more fluid... Thanks for playing along... see you all soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bonvoyagebites Posted July 14, 2015 Author #61 Share Posted July 14, 2015 Thanks. A few more Posts and this will be wrapped up... Maybe one or two. After that, any suggestions for wrap up posts? Like a single.food post or menus or dailies? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonvoyagebites Posted July 14, 2015 Author #62 Share Posted July 14, 2015 Day 3, Pt. 4 is posted on our blog. Any suggestions for wrap-up posts? Any questions I can answer with my limited experience, as a HAL newbie? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bernie5 Posted July 15, 2015 #63 Share Posted July 15, 2015 Your food pics make me so hungry! fabulous. Do you have any pictures of the Thermal Suite/Pool? Thought that might be nice on a chilly sea day. Only 2 more months! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonvoyagebites Posted July 15, 2015 Author #64 Share Posted July 15, 2015 Hi Burnie. I have no photos of the thermal suite, just the lido pool and hot tubs. When I was wandering around I didn't go in that room. I stopped at the room with the exercise bikes and the salon spa. Sorry, but thanks for following along.

bonvoyagebites Posted July 15, 2015 Author #65 Share Posted July 15, 2015 Bernie5, sorry for the name auto-correct or fat finger or whatever happened. I used my iphone and apparently fat-fingered something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonvoyagebites Posted July 21, 2015 Author #66 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Hopefully I will be able to wrap this thing up tonight. In the meantime, enjoy the new video that I finished (Sailing and Snorkeling in St John and St. Kitts).. there was a Sea turtle swimming with me in St Kitts, and that was pretty magical for me. Assuming the honey-do list doesn't get too crazy, I should be able to wrap the final sea day this evening... http://bonvoyagebites.com/2015/07/carnival-victory-daysail-and-snorkeling-in-st-thomas-st-john-and-st-kitts/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OlsSalt Posted July 21, 2015 #67 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Enjoying your tips and am passing some of them on to the Amsterdam Roll-Call, esp using the rental car option to get to the port and back. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonvoyagebites Posted July 21, 2015 Author #68 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Glad you find them helpful. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask. The rental car was a nice trick I figured out so that I didn't have to spend a ton. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonvoyagebites Posted July 23, 2015 Author #69 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Day 3 has come to an end, and been posted. I am going to write up Disembarkation, but I am not certain what kind of photos we have... Then maybe a "Final Thoughts" kind of thing, maybe... Thoughts?

bonvoyagebites Posted July 23, 2015 Author #70 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Well, kids... It has been a fun journey, but it appears it has come to an end. I wrapped up the posts last night and posted them this morning. If there are any questions or comments, please feel free to ask (or tell, as the case may be)... I would be happy to answer, and if I cannot, I am sure someone else on here would be able to do so. Thanks so much for following along, and being so encouraging.

bernie5 Posted July 23, 2015 #71 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Thanks for all the fabulous info. Any other pictures of the public spaces on the Amsterdam you have not posted? Love the food pics but was forced to stop looking at them when I started to gain weight. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonvoyagebites Posted July 23, 2015 Author #72 Share Posted July 23, 2015 I have lots of video of the public spaces. I just need to get music to put in the video and I think it will wrap up pretty quickly from there. For copyright reasons, I have to write said music, so I have been working on that ... I will see how I can get that together very soon I hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonvoyagebites Posted August 19, 2015 Author #73 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Wow, I have really fallen behind on the video. Bernie... Sorry about that. Do you still need photos? When is your trip? I know you mentioned but I have forgotten Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
