Another Lovely evening on the Golden Princess!

 

Bill(WIWT)

 

Bill,

 

You are absolutely right this time, but then who's counting. :D

 

We have had wonderful weather, except for the rain when we left BA, actually the rain stopped about 5 minutes after we left port. Then we had the 100mph wind gusts the day after Puerto Arenas, but then the Captain took us out of the way through the Fjords to a beautiful Glacier (was not in the itenarary(sp), just to get away from the choppy water and wind gusts, oh what a cruise so far. I don't want to scare the leprechan so I will knock on wood (oh that was yesterday and this is today). :eek: But I want to thank everyone for their prayers and for keeping their fingers crossed and whatever else people have done to keep our weather great (two days left).

 

Keep on (truckin) cruisin,

Easykruz.

Bill:)

Arlene~ How was dinner tonight and how's the weather now?

 

We had the Captain's Circle party where Tony won the most days cruising with over 700 days at sea. Our formal night dinner was of course LOBSTER, most people at our table had more than 2 lobsters. Well you get the idea.:D

 

Easykruz,

Bill

Thanks for the great pix. It looks very cold there; however, the penguins ARE very cute.

 

BTW, Bill, I am curious. What is the blue fabric around your neck. It looks like part of your backpack?

 

On Vicki, is she wearing a vest for warmth or a life-saving device from the kayaks. Or is this where you kayaked?

 

Thanks for all your detailed reviews. You know that they are well-appreciated.

 

Are you KIDDING, kayaked?:eek: They are both life vests for the Zodiac Boat that we took to Penguin Island. The Zodiac boats are cruising away in one of the pictures that Jotworld Bill posted for Vicky and I. My blue lifevest was a very small version of a life vest but since I was carrying a backpack I figured that I didn't have a prayer if I fell into the water so I went with the smaller life vest so it wouldn't get in the way when I took pictures.:D

 

Billy the Kid:D

Dear fellow and lady cruisers,

 

I must get ready for our next tour as we are in Puerto Montt, Chile, today. Vicky and I are going to the Petrohue River and Frutillar (a German style town from the 1850's). We will bring back our memories and share them tonight.

 

So long for now,

Easykruz,

Bill:)

I was remiss in my post above in not sincerely thanking all those who are taking the time to write about their experiences onboard absolutely love reading your posts - thank you!!!

Hi Flapod

 

You will like the Golden now. You don't have to sign up for any of the gym machines.

[flapod]

That's good to hear Tina and Ken. Now I wish Princess and all the other cruise lines would brew some decent coffee and serve Pepsi instead of Coke.

[JotWorld]

How do you put the picture in the message?

 

Hi Caribill,

 

When you go to post a message or reply, the editor has a Paper Clip Symbol(Next to the White Smiley Face), that is for Managing Attachments.:) (BTW, The PIC needs to be on your Computer & you need to know where it is;) ) Then you Browse your computer, Pick the PIC:D & Upload. Then you insert:cool: It's That Easy!:eek:

 

My Best!

To all of you posters on the Golden! Good morning! Have enjoyed all the pics and posts. I'm not sure we will ever get to Antarctica, but feel like I've been there now!

Good Morning Golden Cruisers

 

Welcome to Puerto Montt. Wishes for a lovely day.

We ended up negotiating a private tour here, which was awesome:

 

Congratulations Tony ;) I aspire to do as you do.

When are where is this leg of the cruise finish. I think it is a fews days? How long is the next sailing of the Golden?

[Sea Fan]

According to the itinerary they arrive in Santiago (Valparaiso) Chile 6:00 am Monday the 20th . Then it departs from there at 6:00 pm the 20th and arrives in San Francisco 23 day's later. I believe it's April 11.

I'm with you about the Pepsi situation...wish the ships didn't only have Coca-Cola products..why not a selection....and all the mainstream ships are the same in their offerings...what's up with that :confused: I bring my own (when possible).

If someone sees Tony...please congratulate him on winning Most Travelled Passenger! Did he win his favourite bottle of champagne as his gift? I hope so!!

Thank you again for all your pictures and first-hand reportings of the wonderful tours you're all taking....the snow down there looks far more interesting than the snow up here.....LOL

Keep up the great work.

I was owndering how cold was it when you went to see the penguins?

It's been really fun to read where all of you have been.

Just adding another thanks for all of the live posts! It sure is fun reading! Gabrielle

[mommykim]

Hello everyone on the Golden and thanks again for the wonderful posts. You really made this cruise come alive! If one of you gets a chanve might you ask Tony to drop me an email to mommykim at yahoo dot com so that I might ask him about the kids club priograms I am hoping he's getting for me? I would really appreciate it.

[JotWorld]

Look like the Earlier Rain has stopped, but it still looks quite overcast.

See the Rotterdam anchored off the Starboard side.

Jot Bill;)

 

Bill, Please I didn't mind at all in fact you made my day I have something I don't want to do happening on the 20th which I thought was Monday. Now I have another day to get out of it!:D

[Gabrielle R.]

Thanks! -5 seems like a typical day in the winter in MN. I don't know how I missed the post from other Bill...... Thanks Bill for the reminder! Gabrielle

[S&B]

Before you leave your SA cruise I wanted to thank all of you that have posted. Last October we booked a SA cruise from BA to Santiago for February 2008. I have really enjoyed reading all of these posts and now have to wait 10 1/2 months before we sail. :eek:

 

SunViking, when you get home can you tell us some more about your estancia tour in Montevideo?

 

Thanks again for the "Live From ....." and all the time you put into this so we could enjoy this cruise also.
