[quote name='POA1']No horns. It's supposed to only be bells after 9 PM.[/QUOTE]

Like in the fairy tale...she will have rings on her fingers and bells on her toes.

I will take some bells. Works for me.

They forgot to upgrade her name lights! - it says "Vee dam".:D

I guess there is no quality control in drydock.
Or maybe it takes too much energy to light that N.

[erewhon]

Quite a few passengers walking around the decks.

[Vict0riann]

I don't think we will hear toots - POA will have to tell us if there are any!

[SIZE=4][COLOR=darkred]Yup, still the same, guess they don't realize it.[/COLOR][/SIZE]

That was nice...what I could see....so peaceful she looks leaving into the night.

[KNOT2L82SAIL]

Little toots.... pretend.
At least we can hear them on the ship.
I hope their troubles are all over and it is a wonderful cruise. I am sure it will be. :)
Have a good evening...morning...or day.

[Spinner2]

Yes, erewhon; thanks for noticing; more deck-strolling-passengers than I saw at first.

[POA1]

Not very lit up. Also quiet.

Melodie did I tell you we met up with Astrid (from the Neptune Lounge) in Cabo in March? We had lunch with her.

Thanks for the photo! And it's nice to know we didn't miss any sounds! I think our cameramen have taken to their bunks, and so shall I.:D See you next time!

[quote name='Spinner2']Thanks POA. Beautiful shot[/QUOTE]

You're welcome. A little blurrier than I'd like, but I had to rest my phone on the balcony railing and didn't want it to fall over 100 feet to its doom.

Trying to make the most of it. We'll only have the Allure, Oasis, and a Princess ship or two in a few weeks.

She's good; I've heard from Jhanuary too; e-mail me so I can tell you what I've heard from her. Astrid wasn't on Neptune duty in March; she was doing back-office work on some sort of record-keeping stuff. It was a fun visit and very nice of her to come over to Cabo.

[quote name='gigianne'] Hopefully the dry dock addressed some of the problems that the V was having.[/QUOTE]

One problem dry dock cannot fix and that's the repeated overcharging for drinks on the V during the March 30-April 14 Panama Canal (pre-dry dock).

First drink costs X, but the second (same) drink is more. If you catch it, they'll fix it. Maybe you'll get an apology, maybe not. This happened in the Ocean Bar, Lido aft Retreat bar and HMC pirate ship bar. If it happened to me, it's happened to others.

Check your receipts everyone ! Edited April 25, 2014 by Boatdrill
