MaryTiller Posted June 24, 2008 #103 Share Posted June 24, 2008 Radio, Terrific photos. FYI....... This last one of the stern of the ship has a small sailboat in the lower left corner with Maryland Department of Natural Resouces numbers and stickers. Alot of sailboats just finished the Annapolis to Bermuda race so I would guess that alot of folks around town could be from Maryland. If you have a minute you should walk over to see if there are anyone aboard, they could be from home!!! I can't wait for your next report. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JHJMAS Posted June 24, 2008 #104 Share Posted June 24, 2008 Hey Radio! I got your 411 from a driver at Corporate Sedan in Owings Mills. Small world! The three of us (mom & dad + youngest kid) are on the 28 June sailing (right when you disembark!)... looks like we're even at about the same spot on the ship as your stateroom. (Without being too specific, our stateroom # is between 715-735.) :D I was wondering if you could give us the skinny on the ship's fitness room? Specifically, do they have elliptical machines, and if so, how many? That's my primary mode of self-abuse. I eat, therefore I "run". Also, since you're chums with the crew, can you determine what the booking level is for our cruise? The forum here is pretty light for that sailing. While I'm at it, since we're more interested in R&R than heavy touring, and since we have our baby girl with us, we'll end up spending more time on board than most folks, I expect. So were also interested in whether there's any programming during the days or evenings on board WHILE docked in Bermuda? Any classes, games, sports competitions, trivia challenges, etc.? Thanks so much! - - - - JHJMAS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Radio Posted June 24, 2008 Author #106 Share Posted June 24, 2008 How well is the Majesty Maintained. How is the Food Compared to the RCCL Exos ???? TNX !!!! Keep the pictures Flowing :) The food, and service are very good. . . . The maintenance, however shows that the ship has been sold. I was told that the sale of Magesty (the oldest ship in the NCL fleet), will be the newest ship in the fleet for Louis Cruise Line. They are very pleased to have her.

Rare Radio Posted June 24, 2008 Author #108 Share Posted June 24, 2008 Hello everyone. . . I got up very early today, and went outside to check my email. The internet on board has prohibited me from doing that much. I will be picking up my scooter today, at Oleander’s Scooters. They have locations in St, George’s, Hamilton, the Dockyard and a few others. I have rented from them several times before, and they are very reliable. The weather forecast for today, is (from the Bermuda Weather Service)“Sunny periods, risk of a few showers later, chance thunder... Winds south-southwesterly moderate, slowly veering southwesterly... High near 28°C/83°F. “ I have alot to do today. . . . Here are a few pics from last night, and this morning. Thanks for tuning in !

weary traveler Posted June 24, 2008 #113 Share Posted June 24, 2008 Great Job Radio.. these pics will last me a lifetime of wonderful memories.. one request on your way out or back to the ship. could you stop in the White Horse Tavern and maybe get a shot of the servers? i know an odd request.. but spent many an afternoon delighting in the conch fritters and amstel. They are marvelous lads and lassies there and there's hardly any turnover so it would be great to see them again. Also a head's up.. a good take in is usually the crew party (if they still hold it there, usually the last night before sailing back) it's nice to see some of your favorite crew members let their hair down and be able to socialize with them. Thank you lots for the reports and pics thusfar. And don't ride your scooter to the Swizzle Inn... the roads seem to get more narrow and more curvey after lunching there :rolleyes: Thanks my friend.. always enjoy your reports Weary Traveler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suebee53 Posted June 24, 2008 #114 Share Posted June 24, 2008 So you have to get off the ship to get a wifi signal, eh? Yet it's free and it's convenient and it's close . . . and we are so grateful back here in Real Life! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdf0126 Posted June 24, 2008 #115 Share Posted June 24, 2008 My wife and I are very appreciative of the postings also, since we're taking the 7/5 cruise for our honeymoon. Any and all information welcome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JHJMAS Posted June 24, 2008 #117 Share Posted June 24, 2008 Why do you need to get off the ship to get Internet access? Is it turned-off while in port? Or is it not worth it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radio Head Posted June 24, 2008 #118 Share Posted June 24, 2008 Hi Radio, As you can see in my signature, I've only ever cruised with RCCL. My biggest (and hopefully, most irrational) fear is navigating Freestyle Dining. I can deal with an older ship. I can handle less than perfect carpet and paint. But what I'd really hate to give up is a good dining experience. I fear standing in long lines, worrying about reservations, impersonal dining room staff, etc. How has the dining experience been so far? How hard is it to get the reservation times that you want?

Family05 Posted June 24, 2008 #119 Share Posted June 24, 2008 Hi, I am very anxious to hear your report. My family and I are taking the same cruise on August 9 and I'm a little apprehensive. I hope all is perfect. Please give us details. thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SGC777 Posted June 24, 2008 #120 Share Posted June 24, 2008 Smooth sailing. Let us know all the scoop. We sail on 7/5. Will follow your trip on the boards. My family will be there, too! Any suggestions for excursions to do on our own? We love snorkeling and beaches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BonnieVA Posted June 24, 2008 #121 Share Posted June 24, 2008 Security Check in at the Terminal This picture is very helpful to me ... I am wondering what the largest size luggage would be to fit through the security scanners at Port of Baltimore. It's just me & dh & we're trying to pack light. I'd like to carry all of our stuff onboard ourselves but don't want to wind up with something that's too big & slowing down the check-in process. Our largest rolling suitcase is 28" but we have smaller ones too. Do you recall seeing any sign sposted about luggage size or what's your best guess? We're leaving Saturday.

I have been using Wi Fi the whole trip. . . The Wi Fi on the ship is expensive. . .$100 for 270 min. . . the WiFi ouside the ship is FREE ! I am just connecting to a Unsecured Server. . . You can still us the ship's Wi Fi while in dock. . . But the external is fast and free ! Radio ;) ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare TPKeller Posted June 24, 2008 #125 Share Posted June 24, 2008 I went to Tobbacco Bay, St Catherine's Beach, Snorkel Park, Dockyard. Is that like burning the candle at both ends? ;) I really want to try snorkeling in Tobacco Bay the next time I am in Bermuda! It's a very pretty place!
