Musings on Mariner - A slow boat from China

[John&LaLa]

Raiders of the Lost Ark??

Yep, Arc of the Covenant. About the size of a shoebox. They had smaller ones as well. Just no time to look at anything

Just got the Voom letter, telling me that because of intermittent service interruptions that began on the evening of4/25 and continued through midnight on 4/27/18 I will be receiving a credit of $43.17. Coincidentally this was during the time period we were under pirate watch. I congratulate RCI for doing what amounts to a 20% refund for those booking 15 days of internet. I didn't really miss it, but I heard people at CS complaining about it while I was picking up my Euro fix for today.

I guess they took some artistic license in the movie. Definitely bigger than a shoebox:

Lady at the table next to us said she got credit for two days as well. I guess it went to everyone?

Terrific photos, John, you captured the ambiance. The crowd photos were particularly interesting. My BP shot up a good 10 points just imagining what it would have been like to be in the midst of all those people. :o

They had a version with people carrying it like in your photo.

Thanks Karen. I wish I'd taken a picture when we got separated from the group. Most of the day I was trying to be respectful and not stop in middle of street to take photos. I know that annoys me.

I'm just afraid she's going to want to stay with her pet sitters.

She will be jumping all over you both with joy when you get back.

Painfully slow internet. They should call it intermittentnet. Probably no more pictures tonight.

 

Martini cart on the helipad.

Live music

Got a group photo

Good crowd, but truthfully don't recall any of these folks in the CL

Well, except 1

Clocks go back an hour tonight. This should be the last time.

BTW, this is one of the few nights the ship has been rocking. Not bad, but definitely rolling.

I'm surprised you were allowed to take pictures in Jesus' tomb. Beautiful photos.

Technically I never went in. Not sure if there were signs referring to photography

Got another bottle of wine last night. Will be sharing it this afternoon with some friends. Beautiful day, but a little on the cool side

 

Also getting a room service sampler. Wings, quesadillas, etc.. One of the GS perks [emoji16][emoji6]

Thanks for the pictures. Very moving. I think the crowds would have gotten to me though.

 

Oh, and Bella does not look at all home sick.;) :D
