What surprised me is that they didn't make people get OFF the bridge. They stayed on while it moved open and then closed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merion_Mom Posted November 15, 2014 Author #429 Share Posted November 15, 2014 By the way, on the Noon Report today, Captain Rick announced that Port Canaveral is waiting to remove lifeboat #22 and replace it, but lifeboat #20 will be more difficult to take down, so will not be dealt with tomorrow, but later. She is safe to cruise with "one lifeboat down". :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merion_Mom Posted November 15, 2014 Author #433 Share Posted November 15, 2014 After Curaçao, we visited Bonaire. Bonaire was GORGEOUS and this was a FANTASTIC day. I really can't wait to come back here next month! I did a general tour of the island in the morning with AchieTours, and then went snorkeling with Woodwind in the afternoon. I can highly recommend both, but especially Woodwind. THAT is an outfit that knows exactly what it is doing and how to make sure that everyone is safe and having a good time! We were in a van for the morning tour, and after I got stuck in the back in St. Lucia, I "called shotgun" in Bonaire. ;) [URL=http://s188.photobucket.com/user/MerionMom/media/Facebook/Explorer%20Bonaire/10354227_10205199650459000_241239145535467186_n.jpg.html][IMG]http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z310/MerionMom/Facebook/Explorer%20Bonaire/10354227_10205199650459000_241239145535467186_n.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL=http://s188.photobucket.com/user/MerionMom/media/Facebook/Explorer%20Bonaire/10301948_10205199671939537_2404878328925704321_n.jpg.html][IMG]http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z310/MerionMom/Facebook/Explorer%20Bonaire/10301948_10205199671939537_2404878328925704321_n.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL=http://s188.photobucket.com/user/MerionMom/media/Facebook/Explorer%20Bonaire/10369568_10205199692900061_7872015722917853303_n.jpg.html][IMG]http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z310/MerionMom/Facebook/Explorer%20Bonaire/10369568_10205199692900061_7872015722917853303_n.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL=http://s188.photobucket.com/user/MerionMom/media/Facebook/Explorer%20Bonaire/10394128_10205199719940737_7113767121907116366_n.jpg.html][IMG]http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z310/MerionMom/Facebook/Explorer%20Bonaire/10394128_10205199719940737_7113767121907116366_n.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL=http://s188.photobucket.com/user/MerionMom/media/Facebook/Explorer%20Bonaire/1619139_10205199746501401_4021038986544659395_n.jpg.html][IMG]http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z310/MerionMom/Facebook/Explorer%20Bonaire/1619139_10205199746501401_4021038986544659395_n.jpg[/IMG][/URL] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
