Where's the web cam? This is so exciting!

 

Just watched her dock 90 minutes ago and it looks like passengers are already disembarking and making their way to the parking garage.

Hello everyone. . . The forecast for today is 93, and “Steamy Sunshine” (from Local 6 News)

There is a small chance of rain, but it seems there is a chance of rain many days in Cape Canaveral. . .

The hotel I am staying at is very nice, and plan to stay here again. This is the closest hotel to the port. Next door to us is Marriott Courtyard (Hertz Car Rental in front), and the Radisson Resort at the Port is just south of the Marriott.

We are very close to the port, and you can see the Freedom of the seas docked at Terminal 10. We are being joined today by Disney Wonder (Pier 8), and Carnival Sensation (Pier 5).

 

Here are a few pics from yesterday, and this morning. . .

 

 

See you onboard ! ! More pics later today . . . .

Mary Louise, it looks like you're going to be on our sailing. Have you checked out our roll call board and signed up for our Meet and Mingle? We've got a pretty good group going so far.

Hi Radio,

 

My family is doing same cruise and itinerary this November and looking forward to your "blog".

 

Maybe Radio cannot answer all questions but will she be continuing her reports as threads on this posting or will she start new threads for each posting.

 

I just want to know where to keep looking. Also, is the hotel she is staying at closer than the Raddisson Resort as notes on this board have told me the Raddisson is the closest.

Wow! Live reports. I'm so excited. Thanks in advance. Also, thanks for Country Inn review. We are thinking of switching from the Radisson. I heard a "rumor" from there and I don't think we will chance staying there.

I believe I heard the same one, and we switched to the Marriott Residence Inn :rolleyes:

[dwdwnurse]

Good morning Radio and everyone else!

 

I can't wait for more of Radio's great pictures this week :)

 

We just stayed at the Radisson last month and it was wonderful - what "rumors" have you heard?!

 

Enjoy your cruise...wish I was back onboard!

Radio,

 

While onboard, did you sign up for the pre-paid bulk minutes to use with your laptop. If so, what is the connection speed like especially when uploading photos.

 

Thx...James
