Rare Radio Posted November 9, 2007 Author #252 Share Posted November 9, 2007 Hi Radio,Enjoying all your pictures! Thanks a bunch for posting! I hope in December Cybercabin works with my Vista like it did in July on Explorer. Enjoy QUEST!! Great fun! Wish I was there! Wi Fi is GREAT when the network is up. . . and very fast too (Wi-Fi 750-850 kbps vs Cybercabin at 44-58 kbps) Thanks for the nice comments ! Radio ;) ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aqhacruiser Posted November 9, 2007 #253 Share Posted November 9, 2007 I do not mean to be rude, but I wonder what it costs for you to use the internet on these LIVE threads whilst aboard ship? I love following along with your adventures or explorations. Radio is using wifi so he is buying packages of time. When I post live I use Cybercabin and that is 85.00 for a 5 night or 125.00 for a 9 night for unlimited access. You can also buy packages of time to use at the internet cafe. :) Radio! GREAT posts and pictures:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radio ;) ;) Hi Radio :) Thanks for the WiFi info! It definitely sounds alot faster than Cybercabin. Can you tell me where the HOT Spots are on Explorer? I recall in July seeing a father and son sitting near the "diving" shop area outside the solarium area and at the Pub on the Promenade. Anywhere else? I am wondering if my cabin might have Wifi just b/c Im near a hot spot. Any info you have is appreciated!

MrsKnuts2 Posted November 9, 2007 #261 Share Posted November 9, 2007 I wish I didn't have to work late tonight. I'd love to go to Southie and watch her pull out this evening. The sun is out and you should have a beautiful day touring Boston. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Radio Posted November 9, 2007 Author #266 Share Posted November 9, 2007 Hello everyone. . . Welcome to Day 6 of my Explorer of the Seas cruise. We arrived at Black Falcon Cruise Pier in Boston as scheduled today at 7AM. After an Immigration check in the dining room, I got off of the ship at about 10AM. The Black Falcon Cruise Terminal is very big, and it serves Boston as a nice home pier for many ships. While we were at the Terminal. . .I spotted the Norwegian Jewel, docked over at the drydock pier (I think she was in wet dock, however) I grabbed a cab over to the New England Aquarium, which was very nice. There were hundreds of elementary school kids there on a fieldtrip, which made it a little noisy, but the exhibits were very good (I liked the Aquarium in Bermuda , better !) I then found something that I like to find in every port. . .a Starbucks ! ! Right in the Boston Marriott, on the water. . .Very Nice I took a sight seeing tour on one of the many Boston Harbor cruises, (Bay State) It toured around the Harbor, and provide history, and fun fact about Boston. It was a very nice tour, and I highly recommend this tour. They offer different tours throughout the day ( I would have purchase a Whale Watching tour, but they ended on Nov 1) We went over to the Boston Naval yard, and I toured around there for a while. The USS Constitution, and the USS Cassen Young (Destroyer) were over there, and were very interesting to watch. Both ships offered free tours. There are dozens of large ferries that navigate in the Boston Harbor. . . . Impressive ! I took a cab back to the ship. . . The cab back to the ship was only $9, while going into the city was $12 ? ? ? We are scheduled to leave Boston at 6PM, and our next stop will be Cape Liberty Cruise Port, in Bayonne. Thanks for all of the nice comments so far, and thank you very much for tuning in. Here a few pics from today. . . . More pics later ! Radio The RCI Crew has their Winter Gear on ! New England Aquarium Lots of Penguins in there . . . Ahhh. . . It's nice to find aStarbucks in Port. . . . ha ha . . . (In the Boston Marriott) Scenic Boston bridge, from the Harbor Tour More pics soon. . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radio, you took some great shots of Boston. I live just north of there and was hoping desperately that I would have been able to go to the Black Falcon and sail on Explorer to NJ with you since I am going to be on her Sunday for the 12-nighter. Take good care of this fine lady and smooth sailing back to Bayonne. For those that wanted to go to Boston to watch her sail of of port and did not make it, I happened to do just that on October 5th. I have the video link here from Youtube.com.....Enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaCruzers Posted November 9, 2007 #274 Share Posted November 9, 2007 What a great photo of the Boston skyline! I've never been to Boston, but I guess I conjure up images of Boston at the time of the Boston Tea Party so I was surprised to see such modern skyscrapers at the waterfront. Lovely! Thank you, Radio, for your great reports & photos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
