copnlpn2 Posted April 6, 2007 #34 Share Posted April 6, 2007 Radio - I'll also be aboard the Jewel Nov. 11 and am really looking forward to my first balcony cabin (9092). If you happen to take any pix of the balconies on Deck 9, right close to the glass-enclosed elevator, I'd be very interested in seeing them! I'm so looking forward to "cruising with you" these next few days! Have a wonderful time and thanksfor keeping us informed all along the way...

Rare Radio Posted April 6, 2007 Author #36 Share Posted April 6, 2007 Hello everyone ! Wow ...I finally made it to Fort Lauderdale. It took 5 hrs to drive from Sanford, FL. Lots of traffic...grrrr... Anyway I arrived at the hotel, and it is very nice. I am at the Hilton Garden Inn in Dania, Florida (Just a couple of miles from Port Everglades) Tonight, I will just relax and get to sleep early.... Tomorrow should be a wonderful day, with great weather, and sunny skies. I am very excited to be sailing again on what is the most beautiful ship in the RCI fleet ...The Jewel of the Seas. My connection at the hotel is great ! (1359 kbps) Here are a few pics from today.... Thanks for tuning in. Radio ;) ;) Amtrak AutoTrain Hilton Garden Inn Hotel Pool .

johndru Posted April 7, 2007 #39 Share Posted April 7, 2007 Mark: Just love your reviews, and I'm really looking forward to this one, since my boss will be boarding for the trans-atlantic when you're getting off a week from Sunday. I'd love to show her pictures of the ship she'll be boarding, so take lots of great pics (I know you will)! Hopefully, I'll be able to pull them up, since I wasn't able to see either of your previously posted pictures. Have a great trip! Dru Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure you will be able to get the pics once I am on the Jewel. That is because I have to post photos that are much smaller since my bandwidth and connection speed will be much lower. Hopefully, you will be able to view them. If there is trouble...just click on my link below....to see all of the pics I will take on this cruise.

Rare Radio Posted April 7, 2007 Author #45 Share Posted April 7, 2007 Hello everyone ! I made onboard the beautiful Jewel of the Seas. I know I have been on here before but I can assure you, that when you walk on board and look up through the centrum...It is breathtaking ! What a beautiful ship ! I left the hotel by 11:30, and arrived at the pier in just 10 minutes. The check in was very fast. I was onboard by 12 noon. I immediately went to my cabin, and unpaced all of my electronic equipment. I wanted to take a few oics of the ship, but ooops..... Why is my battery not in the camera?:confused: I can't beleive that I must have misplaced the battery. I searched all of the bags, but no luck. I hope it is in my checked in luggage or I am in trouble. Maybe the ship will sell the battery that I need..... Or I might have to visit a camera Shop in San Juan on Monday ! Oh well...worse things could happen.... I am jest very happy to be on this ship, and I will provide the same commentary, and reports of this cruise. There just may not be any pics until Monday :( The Windjammer food was very good ! It always seems to be the best on the first day. . . The CD this week will be Marc Walker. Tonight's Welcome aboard show will feature Comedian Richie Minervini, and of course the RCI Singers and Dancers. There will be a new Game Show, that I haven't heard about. "Steal or no Steal" I will have to attend that show...It should be fun. Well its time to walk around and see what I can see. The Welcome Expo will be starting soon in the Centrum with lots of "Fabulous Prizes"...Then we have the Muster drill at 4PM...We are scheduled to leave today at 5PM. The weather is beautiful. . .sunny and warm (76f)...A delightful spring day. The ships in port with us today are the beautiful MSC Lirica, HAL Zuiderdam, and the Star Princess. There will be 16 different ships we will se on this voyage. (Hopefully , I will get some pics of them) I will try to post again soon, and I will search for camera battery:confused: Thanks for tuning in !

Arizona Cruz Chic Posted April 7, 2007 #46 Share Posted April 7, 2007 Hi Radio.....and Mrs Radio :D I am so looking foreword to your live posts on the Jewel. Its just like being there!! Just a thought.....Any chance you may have left the camera battery in the hotel? Hopefully it will turn up, or as you say worst is you have to buy one in SJ. I'm sure we can get by with live posts minus the pics....for now....but hurry we love those pic's!! :D :D Have a wonderful cruise. *** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcca2 Posted April 7, 2007 #47 Share Posted April 7, 2007 Hi Radio, I can just picture those wonderful sea elevators..... :) I hope you find your battery soon. :o Have a great cruise we will be there with you for Muster... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Radio Posted April 7, 2007 Author #48 Share Posted April 7, 2007 Hello Everyone ! I found the battery....It was in my checked-on luggage. I even left the ship to walk over to the parking garage, to see if it was in the car. I am very happy that I found it... I have time for one more post before the muster drill..I said before it was at 4PM, but it is for 430PM...We sail at 5PM. The day has eased for me now that I have everything required. Here are a few pics from today. I will post many more throughout the week, with all public areas being covered. Here are a few before we sail ! ! Thanks for tuning in. . .
