PaulMedik Posted May 3, 2014 Author #228 Share Posted May 3, 2014 Charles is actually my first name, but I go by Paul. Incidentally it's also Bryson's first name, my Fathers, and my GrandFather's first name. We aren't real creative eh?

PaulMedik Posted May 3, 2014 Author #230 Share Posted May 3, 2014 This fellow worked his butt of delivering beer. I don't drink beer and he only serves beer. He assured me that other bar servers would be by later to take orders; I never did meet up with any, but can't really say that I missed them either; HMC is too nice to be impaired even slightly; I had three batteries for my GoPro, but I knew I would be needing to recharge so I looked for an outlet; I assumed the AC was plugged into an outlet, but alas it's direct wired. There's also a very good reason that all electrical connections should be inside of a box with a lid on it; Found one. I just had to make sure I kept an eye out for rain and that the misting fan didn't get aimed the wrong way; Pride makes a fancy sprinkler head for the shower; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pe4all Posted May 4, 2014 #231 Share Posted May 4, 2014 (edited) [quote name=PaulMedik pe4all' date=' Thank you. No noise from above at all. The only night they moved the Serenity furniture was on the 6th night and it was moved to keep it from blowing overboard. With the noise of the storm there was no chance we'd hear them moving furniture. I was up early a few mornings and while walking around Serenity there appeared to have been a party right above our cabin with broken glass and overturned furniture; no noise from that either. It was around 0400 that I was there and when I passed by later around 0630 it was all clean and tidy. We have had rooms on other ships under areas where the chairs are moved each night and the noise is minimal.[/quote] Thank you for the reply! Relieves my mind a bit that I made the right decision with that bowling alley balcony! Edited May 4, 2014 by pe4all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulMedik Posted May 4, 2014 Author #239 Share Posted May 4, 2014 (edited) I remember that when I first heard they were building Captain Morgan's at HMC, I was annoyed that they would tamper with perfection. Perhaps it was a good idea after all if not for the libations and atmosphere, but surely for the photo ops; Frozen drinks for the walk back; I couldn't tell which one won the sand fight; Edited May 4, 2014 by PaulMedik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

apdchief Posted May 4, 2014 #247 Share Posted May 4, 2014 I have to say this is one of the best reviews that I have seen. Your pictures and videos are great! We are on the Splendor in July and have stops in Grand Turks, Half Moon Cay and Nassau. We have one of those two story villas rented on HMC. I also just recently booked the Pride for next April on the same stops. I look forward to seeing the rest of your review. Thanks for taking the time to do it!

jmwg49 Posted May 4, 2014 #248 Share Posted May 4, 2014 This is a great review! Your pictures of HMC makes me want to book another cruise to go there, right now! Thanks for sharing your family vacation with us! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulMedik Posted May 4, 2014 Author #249 Share Posted May 4, 2014 Sun can be very harsh on your teeth; Dolphins in the clouds; Near the end of this video you'll get to see the ship's security jokingly remind me to carry my own camera gear back to my cabin. You'll also see the inside of an XRay machine. I plan to use GoPro cameras next basketball season behind the backboards so hopefully I'll be better at video next SB or at least know how to turn it off; [YOUTUBE]hOfMt6VSBS4[/YOUTUBE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
