ZoeyVictoria Posted October 6, 2012 #201 Share Posted October 6, 2012 I hope you have a wonderful time - wow, what a cruise! I am wondering if you decided to do anything differently due to the length of the cruise? Eat/drink/sleep/exercise/gamble more or less than usual, take more excursions or stay on the ship more, anything that you have planned in advance to do differently than on a shorter cruise?

swcruise Posted October 6, 2012 #202 Share Posted October 6, 2012 Will be following this avidly, we sailed here around the Baltics before she left Europe and found the ship well maintained and the staff were excellent and customer focused. Hope any changes in staff that you mentioned earlier of up to 1/3 to 1/2 doesn't change things too much on that front.. Happy Sailings.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loves_Dogs Posted October 6, 2012 #203 Share Posted October 6, 2012 GOOD MORNING Trainman and Judith! I know that Trainman is a morning person (like me) so I thought I would check in for updates. I am betting he is currently walking around the ship taking pictures. Will check back later. Hope the first day a sea is a wonderful one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trainman-2 Posted October 6, 2012 Author #204 Share Posted October 6, 2012 Saturday - Day 2 - At Sea Somewhere in the Caribbean Good Morning Everyone, It is 7 am as I post and daylight has finally come. Here is a nice photo of the pool from earlier this morning while I was on an important mission. My important mission of finding the coffee was accomplished in good order. Tonight is the First Formal Night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trainman-2 Posted October 6, 2012 Author #206 Share Posted October 6, 2012 They may change the name of the Ship for this cruise to FogyVille of the Seas! We got word last night that there are only four (4) minors (kids) on the ship. Two Toddlers and Two Teenage Girls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trainman-2 Posted October 6, 2012 Author #207 Share Posted October 6, 2012 The Ships Computer Systems are working very well! I do have to walk to the other side of the Centrum to get to a WiFi HotSpot but I am able to upload 4 - 6 photos at a time to PhotoBucket so, so far, posting has been easy.

Trainman-2 Posted October 6, 2012 Author #208 Share Posted October 6, 2012 Today will be a day of exploring and finding out what is on the ship and where it is. Expect lots of photos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffett fan Posted October 6, 2012 #209 Share Posted October 6, 2012 Morning Trainman! The first thing I did when I work up at 5:00 this morning was to check CC...I'm already addicted to the review ;). Hope you both have a wonderful day and I'll be checking back frequently, wouldn't want to miss anything! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trainman-2 Posted October 6, 2012 Author #210 Share Posted October 6, 2012 I shot these photos of today's Compass at my little desk in our cabin. I think the light was funny and the camera didn't focus right. They seem fuzzy to me and I will try again later in sunlight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trainman-2 Posted October 6, 2012 Author #211 Share Posted October 6, 2012 You have to log onto the ships WiFi using Internet Explorer. Once I am logged on, I open Google Chrome and use that because that is where all of my book marks are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trainman-2 Posted October 6, 2012 Author #212 Share Posted October 6, 2012 I am going to quit for now and head down to the cabin. I delivered morning coffee to Judith and she said she would get up and head up to the Windjammer for breakfast with me. She has a bad habit of going back to sleep so we will see. Our cruise is off to a great start! More later....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wallypbear Posted October 6, 2012 #213 Share Posted October 6, 2012 Good morning Trainman-2. Boy that sail away last night was one of the swiftest I have ever seen. She was pulling 9.1 knots in the inlet before she got to open sea. Enjoy the peace and quiet without the little ones aboard. Please take pictures of all the Fogyville deck snoozers. People can be so funny when their sleeping.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gingerma Posted October 6, 2012 #217 Share Posted October 6, 2012 Cruise Along With Trainman-2 & Judith for 28 Nights! Two 14 Night Back-2-Back Panama Canal Transits We have the same cabin for both legs of the B-2-B which is Cabin 8542 on Deck 8 and it is a a Handicapped Junior Suite so we will rack up some serious cruise points between tomorrow when we board and Nov 2nd when we debark. I am posting "Live" from the Red Roof Inn in West Palm Beach, FL. Once again they discombobulated our reservation totally so this hotel is now high on our "Never Stay There Again" list. But we will persevere! Tonight we are meeting one of our cruising friends for dinner and tomorrow we will make the 70 minute drive south to Port Everglades. We have received several notifications from RCI warning us to not show up at the port until after 1:30 pm. The seating in the terminal is limited and the Vision is returning from Europe and is scheduled for; - Full US Coast Guard Safety Check - Full US Customs Check for Passengers and Crew - Full Homeland Security Check for Who Knows What There are also rumors of 1/3 to 1/2 of the crew changing. We have no clue when we will be able to board the ship or when my first post from the ship will be tomorrow. The Vision is one of RCI's smaller and older ships with a MDR, a Windjammer, and 8 bars and lounges. It does not have any Specialty Restaurants or a Concierge Lounge. Have a GREAT time! Say, "hi" to Gil & Gail, for me!! Ginger;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
