Coralc Posted September 26, 2015 #103 Share Posted September 26, 2015 Don't miss the full moon and eclipse at 7:11 PM Sunday night. It would be awesome to watch it at sea. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merion_Mom Posted September 27, 2015 #111 Share Posted September 27, 2015 Great to hear. Hopefully our cabin on deck 3 might have a little connection [emoji3] Sent from my Galaxy Note 3 using Tapatalk I am sitting in the "internet café" on Deck 7, Centrum, on THEIR computer, and it won't let me connect to FB. I'm surprised that it let me get onto CC. Going to try in my far forward Deck 9 cabin in a few minutes. (Check-in was a CF :rolleyes:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoveThoseSeaDays Posted September 27, 2015 #115 Share Posted September 27, 2015 Loving the report, thank you. The ship really does look so beautiful. Can't wait to see it for myself later this year from San Juan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PCWalton1 Posted September 27, 2015 Author #116 Share Posted September 27, 2015 Good morning and welcome to Santa Barbara. We are just about in port and should be dropping the anchor soon. Last night after dinner we finished the evening by attending the welcome aboard show. It was hosted by the cruise director John Blair and his wife Katrina who is the activities director. It was somewhat sparsely attended so even though we showed up at the last minute we were able to get seats. He spoke of the record number of pinnacles on board but didn't tell the exact numbers. All I know is there were very few of them at the show as he asked them to stand. Maybe they have seen John before and wanted to skip another round of Sweet Caroline. :p Today we will be on our wine country tour. We are meeting at Cafe Lattitudes around 9 to catch the tender boats ashore. I will try to post when I can. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quilting Queen Posted September 27, 2015 #120 Share Posted September 27, 2015 So far so good for your review. We were on the Jewel from San Juan last year. Wonderful ship. We have friends on next week and also Ginny for the Panama canal cruise. Norine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clarea Posted September 27, 2015 #122 Share Posted September 27, 2015 Off the ship ... Looks like you are using a lifeboat to tender! Did that once on Celebrity, but never on Royal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travelgoddess1 Posted September 27, 2015 #123 Share Posted September 27, 2015 Good news, I have wifi in the cabin 3081. [emoji2] Sent from my Galaxy Note 3 using Tapatalk So happy that they have upgraded the WIFI -- we also have connectivity in our cabin, which we did not have in April/May -- what a difference! :) I find the fastest times to post are early in the am, and when everyone is off the ship. Like now, in Santa Barbara. We are staying on today, as I am planning to join friends next week for a self-guided walking tour. I'm watching the tendering, which seems to be proceeding smoothly. There are 4 tender boats on Jewel, all of them in use at the moment. There is also a large boat from shore, which is being used to get the shore excursions off and running. And the marine layer has burned off, although there is a slight haze. All in all, a nice day here. :) The checkin did go slowly at first, but picked up speed as the day progressed. Since Royal does not normally have ships on the West Coast, the contract agents were not familiar with the computer system. That should be somewhat alleviated for those of you on the 10/3 cruise. There are over 60 Pinnacles on board this week, I believe it is a record for Jewel. Sorry to jump in on Bill's thread :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

depplep Posted September 27, 2015 #125 Share Posted September 27, 2015 Looks like you are using a lifeboat to tender! Did that once on Celebrity, but never on Royal. It looks like the tender we used in Belize. Not sure if it was a lifeboat.?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
