seaquay Posted December 19, 2018 #1 Share Posted December 19, 2018 Have just watched the Whisper sail into the cruise port at Fort Lauderdale. Look forward to seeing the results of the dry dock when we board tomorrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCCruiser57 Posted December 19, 2018 #2 Share Posted December 19, 2018 If possible, please post some pics. We board on 1/6. Especially interested in the Fitness Center, La Dolce Vita (aka the bar) and the Panorama in addition to the pool deck and walking track on deck 9.

SSCAF001 Posted December 20, 2018 #3 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Thanks. Great news. By the way do you think batteries for GoPro hero 7 camera are available on board? I would like to buy a second one. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be shocked if SS was to have anything on board beyond D, C, AA, or AAA sized batteries, let alone even having those sizes to begin with.

SSCAF001 Posted December 20, 2018 #5 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Ok thanks for the advice. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSCAF001 Posted December 20, 2018 #6 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Is there any retailer close to Port Everglades? Walmart and bestbuy are almost 5 miles away. I am on SE 17th street and find it difficult to get a retailer close by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCCruiser57 Posted December 20, 2018 #7 Share Posted December 20, 2018 There is a Walgreens right outside the port entrance on 17th street. There is also a Batteries Plus Bulbs store in the shopping area just past Carrabbas on the left. It's on the same side of the street as Walgreen's and is about 1/2 mile. There used to be a Radio Shack in the same shopping center - don't know if is still there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The point is that I have been on Walgreens website and it seems they do not sell GoPro batteries. Yesterday night I have been to the batteries plus bulbs but they do not sell GoPro batteries. Not so easy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seaquay Posted December 20, 2018 Author #11 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Taxi to Sawgrass Mills shopping mall ( 30 mins each way opens at 1000) or divers direct may also have them. As the concierge to call them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can't find GoPro batteries at Walgreens, CVS, or Batteries+, I'd be willing to give you 1000:1 odds you won't find them on board the ship. 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jollyjones Posted December 21, 2018 #13 Share Posted December 21, 2018 I wouldn't give you any odds at all - they won't be there! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Observer Posted January 8, 2019 #14 Share Posted January 8, 2019 I am bumping this message. I would appreciate comments on the results of the drydock – especially from the first two posters. I doubt there were radical changes as with Spirit. But are there cosmetic changes? Are they pleasing? Has the ship been Musified within the limits of an older vessel? Thanks for any reports.

Observer Posted January 10, 2019 #16 Share Posted January 10, 2019 Thanks very much. It looks to be refreshed but otherwise quite familiar. Further photos (inc public areas) would be welcome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
