Radio - once again, thank you for your reports and your fantastic photos. I'll be watching you dock tomorrow morning on the Port Canaveral webcam. As I'm 5 hours ahead of the US I normally watch FOS dock at around 10 a.m. UK time 5 a.m. US. I'll be tracking you on www.marinetraffic.com as FOS is normally in port first followed by Disney Wonder and Canival Sensation.

 

I hope you had a fantastic time onboard and enjoyed your week on FOS. Thanks again

Radio,

 

I have a question about Chankanaab Park. I was last there in 1998 so it has been a while. If one wants to Snorkel there, do we need to bring our own equipment or do they rent there.

 

Thanks for the answer and the many posts. I have enjoyed reading them and looking forward to my FOS Western this November.

They will rent a snorkel package for you, or you can bring your own. . . .

Hi Radio,

 

Thanks again for taking us all on the cruise with you....this week has been great to log on and view all your pics.

 

Are you hearing anything on the Oasis as far as who will be the cruise director and for how long?

 

Thanks and enjoy your last day on the FOS....wish I was back on....

That is the way every one of my cruises has been!

[Radio]

Hello everyone. . .Today is a bittersweet day for me. There was so much to do today, and all of the crew seemed very happy, and the passengers seemed like they have enjoyed the cruise this week.

 

I do however, have to leave the ship tomorrow morning. That makes me want to book another cruise soon !

 

The weather really cooperated with us today . . . Again. . .I am starting to sound like a broken record (ha ha) We had sunny skies, and calm seas. . .

 

I had a nice Bridge Tour today. . . It was part of the Diamond Plus Behind the Scenes tour. Leticia Garcia (Loyalty Associate) was very gracious, gave me my invitation for the tour. You should stop by and say hi. . .She is easy to find. . .She is the host with the biggest smile ! (Deck 6 Future Cruise Desk)

 

Captain Tengelsen was a delight as he talked about the operation of many of the computers, and controls on the bridge. He managed to slide in a few jokes during the tour as well. Thanks Captain !

 

The farewell show is tonight, and I will try to attend. . . It is time for dinner now. . .

 

Here are a few pics from today !

This is making me so depressed, we just got off the Liberty this morning!

[sunandseagirl617]

Love this thread!:) Radio please, please, please if you have a chance to walk starboard on deck 9 in the 9280 block of cabins and see room steward, Hansen Rivers, tell him Theresa, Bill, & kids miss him!:D I emailed him, but he won't see it tonight! Thanks and thanks for all of your live posts!!

 

PCD=book more cruises!;)

[DarryDFL]

Radio, Some of the photos aren't working for me! :( The Freedon link on your website didn't work, either.

 

To fix your problem in Internet Explorer 6, 7 or 8:

1. Open Internet Explorer.

2. From the MenuBar, select Tools > Options.

3. Click on the "Security" tab.

4. Move the slider (in the middle of the window) down to "Medium-High".

5. Click on "OK" button.

We have been sailing vicariously through you. We have been taking primarily the eastern/southern caribbean cruises but I can see we need to take another western-bound cruise.

 

We will be in one of those very front balconies like the one you took from the bridge on your last pic. We liked it because it has the glass facing the bow and we feel like we have our own little bridge. LOL. Only thing is, the ride is a little rougher than in mid-ship.

 

We are on the Nov. 8th cruise to the eastern and now am looking forward to being back on the FOS again. She is one grand 'ole lady.

 

Again, thanks for all your posts and the pics.

 

Safe travels and hope our paths meet on one of the cruises.

I can't express enough how much I enjoyed this thread. How wonderful to be able to cruise with you. Thanks and safe travels home!

[kuddles14]

Radio,

 

Once again, thank you so very much for the great pictures. Glad to hear that you and the Mrs. had a great cruise and beautiful weather. Have a safe return home.

[CruiseLover15]

Thanks, Radio. I have very much enjoyed your live reports this week. I am sure you are sad about having to leave the ship in the morning.:mad:

[SherriZ366]

Radio -- thanks so much for this thread -- it was wonderful and it builds anticipation.

 

Glad they have the breakfast for Platinium/D./D+ We enjoyed that on the FOS in 2008.

 

Your pictures are fabulous!!!
