Rare Radio Posted August 7, 2009 Author #402 Share Posted August 7, 2009 Radio, Just curious what you are using for your position indicator? thanks. I am using a Garmin GPSMap76CSx, a Delorme LT-40 (Wired GPS Receiver), and at Delorme BT-20 (Wireless Bluetooth Receiver). The Nav Channel on the TV, is not very accurate.

Rare Radio Posted August 7, 2009 Author #409 Share Posted August 7, 2009 Hello everyone. . . We have arrived in Cozumel, Mexico ! We pulled up to the dock at about 945AM, and were tied up at 10AM. We are docked at the International Pier, and just south of us is the Puerto Maya Pier with the Carnival Valor, and Carnival Conquest. My plan today is to go up to Chankanaab National Park. (about 5miles south of the pier)I have heard that they have rebuilt the whole park since it was destroyed by the hurricane a few years ago. We printed some discount coupons in advance. After Chankanaab, I will come back to the shops inside the Terminal to see what I can see. . . The shops have all been rebuilt as well. I may head over to El-Cid Resort (next to the pier). . .They have some great Mexican food ! The forecast for today is Hot and Humid with sunny skies, but a slight chance of rain. Here are a few pics from early this morning, and our arrival to Cozumel. Thanks for all of the nice comments, and thanks for tuning in. . . Radio The Diamond Lounge, this morning The Solarium Spa The view FWD from in the spa. . . We are almost there. . .just a few more miles until Cozumel We are about to pull into the pier. We made it to the International Pier in Cozumel . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobbitmomma Posted August 7, 2009 #410 Share Posted August 7, 2009 Thank you for this lovely report Radio.

Peggyb Posted August 7, 2009 #414 Share Posted August 7, 2009 Radio, thank you so much for all the posts and pictures. We'll be on FOS in December. Cozumel is one of our favorite ports, and Chankanaab Nat'l Park one of our favorite spots. Haven't been to the park since the Hurricanes though, so would love an update on it...do they still have the dolphins and sea lions? Where did you get the discount coupons?

beej Posted August 7, 2009 #416 Share Posted August 7, 2009 Radio, I'm ready and waiting for the next program. cozumel looks pretty good to me. At least i don't have to hop on a tender. Sometimes those leaps are hard on the webbys. The hop up ain't so great either. Tom, Dahlink, ah yes you're the one. Pleez don't let the young gorgeous read this not. Pidgy and i love our Thursday fly across to see your dahling self. See you next week or here while we listen to the Radio together:D Boy, I betcha people are gonna talk now. YEAH LOL I'll be here waiting for the next in the Freedom serial. Radio is so good. Ms Toad resting on her webbys in anticipation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srice Posted August 7, 2009 #417 Share Posted August 7, 2009 Radio, Just curious what you are using for your position indicator? thanks. Looks like he is using Street Atlas from Delorme. I have it on my laptop because I like to follow the cruise even though RCI puts the track on TV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruzenut5 Posted August 7, 2009 #419 Share Posted August 7, 2009 :DHi--isn't this exciting?--was wondering what would keep me going until 9-6 and then Radio came aboard. The ship looks wonderful! We were on the Mariner last year and we fell in love with her. The Freedom looks like the Mariner on steroids. Do you know if thre is going to be a Meet and Mingle for 9-6?--I have not checked that out yet. Tatuwoman Hi Tatuwoman; I am also on the 9/6/09 sailing on the Freedom of the Seas, and "YES" there is Meet and Mingle.:) The last time I look it was 49 people registered. If you have not done so yet; please check out our thread for the Sep 6 sailing. Also we are going to have a CABIN CRAWL on our sailing. If you are interested in the cabin crawl please tell us.:rolleyes: My wife and I will arrive in Florida the day before the sailing and we are staying at the HOLIDAY INN EXPRESS in Cocoa Beach. We stayed at this hotel last year before we cruise and it was very nice. They also give you a free breakfast.:D I also want to thank RADIO for all of this GREAT information and beautiful pictures. This will be our first time on Freedom of the Seas and all information about this ship is appreciated. Until later Charles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HB Cruiser Posted August 7, 2009 #423 Share Posted August 7, 2009 Radio As you leave your final port of call, as many have stated, you cannot imagine the joy and thrill you have given all of us while you were on your cruise. This week has flown by not only for you but us as well, mainly due to you and your live postings. It has literally felt as if we were cruising with you. There is no way any of us can repay what you have given us. I think I can speak for all of us by saying, "WOW!!! and THANK YOU!!! for a great week of cruising!!!!!!!" I know you have another full day of cruising but just wanted to let you know how I am sure all of us feel. Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glcoop Posted August 7, 2009 #424 Share Posted August 7, 2009 Hi Radio Really been enjoying your reports and pictures thanks for taking time to do this. I have one question at Ocho Rios is that little beach in the shopping area is it open to Cruise Ship passengers that looks like a place I can sit all day and be happy. Thanks Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
