Love cruising with you but this time will really be there! Last time was the Noel cruise but we had a great time. Hopefully we won't meet Sean!

 

Hey girlfriend....wish we were with you!!! Have a great time! Love to all!

[XLRATION]

Radio, we will be watching you sail away in about 10 minutes on the harbour cam. The kids think it is "really cool" to be able to see the ship and know that you are on there taking photos for them to see.

[will773]

Wish I could be there too! I'll be watching your sailaway!

[Texas Teen]

Looks like Explorer is moving on the NY harbor webcam. Have a great cruise, Radio!

[will773]

You're moving! :D :D :D Have an awesome cruise!

[will773]

Here are some screen shots I took from the webcam!

[XLRATION]

We were able to watch your sail away until the Verazanno Narrows Bridge.

 

Explorer looked spectacular with all her lights on.

 

Enjoy the next 10 days.

Here's a screenshot of Explorer as she was passing under the bridge:

 

 

Looks like Will773 beat me to posting screenshots of Explorer...

Hi Radio!

 

I was directed to this thread by my niece ChristieNJ! As you know, she's on this cruise with you. I was on EOS in 2007 during the Hurricane Noel cruise (with Christie. lol). I'm looking forward to seeing your pictures and reading your reports! Try and snap a few pics of Christie when she's not looking. LOL :p

 

Have a great cruise!!! :cool:

 

 

 

 

 

I, for one, refuse to follow this thread of a 'virtual cruise'. Reason being, because I'll actually be onboard! Woo hooooo! It'll finally be nice to meet you, Radio. See you in about 6 hours!!!

 

Wow, you were up early this morning!!!! Have an excellent cruise! And tell me what you and Ahhnne are buying for me on the ship!!!! :p

[Radio]

There are some serious connection problems currently. . . Stand by. . .

 

Cannot upload any pics. (@#$%&) :(

 

I will try again after dinner. . .

I love your live posts. Hubby and I will board Explorer on Dec 11 in our first suite. Your live thread will give me my cruise fix while we wait. I hope to sail with you someday.

Radio, looking forward to another Live cruise experience!! We had hoped to do a November cruise but it didn't work out....sailing with you will be the next best thing :D!! Enjoy!!!

[USNUZULOOSE]

Radio, I have read your trips but never followed, this time I will. Thank you for the pics, I have never been there but with your pics at least I feel like I have been. Have a great trip. Cant wait to read some more.

[ebk2795]

Just got off the Explorer a little over a month ago.

It will be nice to go back on the Explorer again for a virtual cruise.

Great pictures!

Hello everyone. . .It seems that the connection was a little weak earlier. . .so weak, that I wasn’t able to upload any pics. . . .so I had to post earlier at the Internet Café up on Deck 8. So here is were I left off. . . .(sorry)

 

 

Our Captain sailed on time tonight with a departure of 5PM. It was hard to believe how cold it got over the last 2 hours. I am guessing by now it is in the 40’s. . . This is Coffee weather !

 

There have been a lot of “Live” bands and singers tonight throughout the ship, it seems that most passengers are inside. . .maybe getting ready for dinner. I will try to make it to the Welcome Aboard Show tonight, but I have a dinner rez at Portifino at 7, and we’ll have to wait and see what happens.

 

 

The sail away party was a little weak, as far as I could see. Of coarse, I was on the Pool decks, and maybe there were things going on the Promenade.

 

We have the next 3 days, and 4 nights at sea, so there may be a few naps now and again. Tomorrow is Formal night, and the Cruise Critic Meet and Mingle down in the Chamber. When I get t he Compass later tonight I will have all of the Acttivities for review.

 

 

Thanks for all of the nice comments, and I will be up early tomorrow for a beautiful day at sea. Here are some pics from our sail away.

It was tough to get good shots of New York City, because of the fog and clouds.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

At least when the city lights came on it was nice to see.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We are just about ready to sail away at 5PM.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The darkness fell fast as we sail past the Verrazano Bridge

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The pool deck were having a DJ, and dancing, but I saw a lot of coats. . .It got cold quick !

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

There seems to be “Live” music everywhere tonight

Happy to have found your "Live" report, Radio! I'll be tuning in.

 

It's getting cold here in Northern Virginia, so a cruise to the Caribbean is just what I need!

[EmpressofPurple]

Radio, great shots of my hometown (Manhattan) -- and the Explorer!! So excited I'll be on her in January for the first time.

 

Favor: could you find out how long the outdoor running track is? My daughter and I are training for our first half-marathon in February, and we have to stay on our training schedule while we're on our 11-nighter. It would help to have the track length so we can plan our workouts.

 

GREAT shot of the promenade! We have our first Prom cabin on this cruise, too. I also enjoyed your shots of the pool deck and your balcony cabin as well. The photos really make it feel like "we are there".

 

Thank you for taking the time (and the expense) of posting all these great pictures. I really appreciate it, and I'm sure all your other fans do, too.

[Virtopia]

Finally got all caught up! Thanks for the great pictures; I really feel like I'm living my cruise early!! That room looks nice and comfy; I always have the best sleep while on a ship.

 

Looking forward to the next 10 days!!

[Newsbuff16]

Radio, looking forward to sailing along with you. We haven't been on the Explorer in several years and it will be wonderful to share your experience and revisit those ports.

[The Big Booper]

Hi Radio -

 

Good to see you are doing a "Live" from the Explorer. We are passing on the EX for the holiday sailing this year (7 days don't cut it) and going with the new Silhouette, in Dec. Cold sailaways are always fun:eek: .

 

Nice to have met you on the Allure in May.,

 

And yes we still always wear matching tee shirts.
