JotWorld Posted November 11, 2006 Author #526 Share Posted November 11, 2006 mARY,[quote name='mycruz']All packed except for my shampoo that I have to use in the morning! Thank you Bill for all your reports, I am so ready to board the Coral. We sailed on her a few years ago in Alaska, and looking forward to another sailing. We are spending tomorrow eveing in FLL, not too far a drive for us...I'm envious that you'll be getting back on another cruise in a couple of weeks. Guess I should have majored in accounting! Have a safe and wonderful trip on you next voyage. Maybe I'll post a few "live' spots myself.

JotWorld Posted November 11, 2006 Author #529 Share Posted November 11, 2006 [quote name='Cruising Jake']After the ferry ride through the locks and return to the Atlantic side was there a short amount of time for shopping before the ship sailed?[/quote] Hi Jake, Yup,:) there were hours left at the Cristobal Pier for shopping if you wanted, & all enclosed (which is Good as it was pouring when we got back & it rains almost every day in the rainy season) & right next to the ship!:D Bill [B][I][U][COLOR=orange]LIVE ON THE CORAL[/COLOR][/U][/I][/B] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JotWorld Posted November 11, 2006 Author #530 Share Posted November 11, 2006 [quote name='mii']Frankly Jake after spending a long day we were ready just to get on the ship and relax. Now we did have a great time and I frankly cannot remember if there was enough time to visit the shops. We chose not to for the above reason. Marilyn[/quote] Thanks for your help, Marilyn!:) We were very tired also, & went right back to the Ship, but there was a lot of time. However, sometimes it could be very tight with delays in the Canal that can happen.;) Bill [B][I][U][COLOR=orange]LIVE ON THE CORAL PRINCESS![/COLOR][/U][/I][/B] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cat0341 Posted November 11, 2006 #532 Share Posted November 11, 2006 Thanks again, Bill, for all your great posts. I have read them all and am looking forward to experiencing the trip myself in three weeks. Yikes!!!!! Can't believe it is almost our turn! Thanks for the warning about the rain.........better go dig out our rain ponchos that we bought for our Alaska trip and didn't use them. They are still folded in their little pouch (thank goodness.......don't think I could refold them to fit the pouch). Saw them the other day when I was looking for something and thought about putting them with some other things I have out for the trip, but didn't. Now..........if I can just remember where I saw them.........LOL! I will watch for reports on your upcoming trips. Char Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lines are long this AM already at the Purser's Desk & FC Ofc, as usual on the Last Day! :eek: [U][COLOR=red]Hint,[/COLOR][/U] don't wait till the last Sea day to check your account, do it the Night b/4 & also get your FCC's several days b/4 also! The General mood on the Ship is still Happy, but by tomorrow Morning there will be some real long faces!:( Been there, done that!:eek: This has been a Great 20 days for us to get away from it all, but in hindsight & upon further review, we did not need this extra 10 Duplicate days, as We could have used them in our New Home b/4 Flying to Rome on 11/24. (I should have passed on the Bargain fare, but We hadn't Cruised in over a year & I hadn't booked the Golden 17 Day TA{another Bargain}yet, so 20 Days sounded better than only 10, at the time.);) Later..........

mississauga Posted November 11, 2006 #541 Share Posted November 11, 2006 [FONT=Arial][SIZE=3]On behalf of the hundreds/thousands of viewers of your thread, may I thank you again for the time and efforts you have put in to entertain and enlighten us all. It was especially generous of you to do this given the fact that you had to " hunt and peck" ( your words ) and deal with the unreliable satellite system on board. Have a same journey home and hopefully we will meet you on line again when you start your cruise on your trans-atlantic crossing.[/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Arial][SIZE=3]Mary[/SIZE][/FONT] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emang Posted November 11, 2006 #550 Share Posted November 11, 2006 Well, I finally met Bill. I had a free moment and decided to check CC. Sure enough, I noticed he had just made a post. I peered over everyone's shoulder until I found him. I am glad we met. Too bad it was not sooner in the trip. The last days have been quieter. Yesterday, in Cozumel, we took a cab over to Paradise Beach ($13 each way - for the cab not per person). Paradise beach is a great hangout for the day. The facilities and service are great and there are many things to do for families. We ordered a few drinks, had the guacamole and chips and ordered some fish tacos. We loved them in Baja Mexico and they did a good job with them at Paradise Beach. Very tasty! We met Tom from CC who posts from Paradise Beach. A very likeable guy. Today we did some more dancing at the line dancing and ball room dance classes and we hung out on deck to catch those last minute rays before heading back north. Headed back to the cabin now to finish packing. Like everyone else, thanks Bill for the informative and entertainig job you did while on board. We will be watching your future 'Live From' posts.
