Sugar*Magnolia Posted November 10, 2007 #301 Share Posted November 10, 2007 Hi Radio :) Thanks for the "Hot Spot" list! (even tho Im still hoping Cybercabin works for me like it did in July.) Im also curious about lobster night. Was it Fishermans platter? Lobster tail(s)? Ive read so many varied accounts of what "lobster night" is. For us in July it was Fishermans- but some on other RCI ships have said it is Lobster. Just a curiousity............ Hope you're having a GREAT day on Explorer!!

Rare Radio Posted November 10, 2007 Author #303 Share Posted November 10, 2007 Hello everyone . . I had a great Bridge Tour today at 1:30. The 1st Officer gave us the tour (Thomas Jankvar) He was very knowledgable about the bridge, and said hes has been to school for 8years to have this position. We are less than 200 miles from Cape Liberty, but we are going at the scheduled speed of about 10.5 kts, so we will be at the Pilot Station, tomorrow at 5AM. While we were on the tour, an Alarm went off from a Sprinkler head on deck 5. Someone was immediately sent to inspect the unit. . . He said that when that happens. . .it is usually just a low pressure status, but they send someone every time Here are some pics from the tour. . .

Rare Radio Posted November 11, 2007 Author #319 Share Posted November 11, 2007 Hello everyone. . . We arrived at Cape Liberty at about 645AM, and were tied up by 7AM. The first passengers were called off at 845AM. The debark process should take about 2hrs. I am in no hurry so I plan to be off a at about 10:30AM. I will make a quick stop at the Starbucks, next to the port. . . and then head south dowen the New Jersey turnpike to Maryland. I have tons of photos to upload to my Photo Page, and I still have to scan and post the Daily Compass's. Most pics should be up later tonight. You can just click below or click HERE to see my Cruise Photo Albums. It has been a fun cruise, and I am eagerly anticipating my next cruise (Hopefully in January 08). The Cruise Critic fans out there have been wonderful, and I am very happy that I was allowed to provide this "LIVE" report. I Love to do it. . . and cant imagine going on a cruise without doing these reports. Thanks for all of the nice comments, and no "Live" Radio report can be complete without saying Thanks for tuning in ! ! Here are some arrival pics. . . . Radio Morning Dining Room was packed. . . with passengers for last breakfast. Welcom to Cape Liberty Cruise Port. . . .Brrrr. . . A very cold morning I finally was able to see the Statue of Liberty ! . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
