Just rec'd email from Anthony and he has graciously handed his internet minutes over to me. Very rough seas here today...no pleasure boats end to end for a holiday last blast. The Chesapeake Bay is wall to wall white caps.
Poor Paige :(

Paige - hope you're feeling better!

Masaki

Happy the internet worked out and hope Paige is doing better!

Greetings to all!
The seas have yet to calm, although Paige is feeling better. We just finished dinner and we took it easy on the wine tonight given we have to get up early.

I was so glad Suzie emailed me. I hated to see 7 hours of internet time go to waste. Just report while here Suzie.

We have said our goodbyes to our favorites. Suzie if you get to meet Faye (one of the bar staff in Compass Rose) send our regards and know that she is simply the best.

Well, it is back to reality tomorrow so I will sign off for now. We have already packed and are getting ready to retire and watch a DVD. (yes they have now upgraded to DVDs in all suites)

Anthony

Glad Paige is feeling better! Enjoy your last evening. I couldn't agree more......Faye is such a sweetheart!!! I loved her!

Good news about Paige - your fellow MINTER'S will always miss you two -

Anthony...it may be too late to post a question for you, but perhaps another Navigator passenger can answer...do they have wifi? I'm bringing my laptop and would be happy to use it anywhere I can on the ship.

Well here I am in New Jersey with only a little over 24 hours before I join Suzie on the Navigator! I just hope we're not facing any rough seas - don't think I'll be a very good sailor.

It's a tough life but I'm off to the US Open again today - it was awfully hot there yesterday but I've seen some really great matches. I get to see Lleyton Hewitt play today, which will be a highlight for me. I know he's not America's favourite but he's all we have! It was a bit of a challenge for me to get there - three trains! Michael sent me off with three pages of instructions!!

I'll check in later to see if you have an answer for Margo as Michael will have to bring his laptop for work.

I'll have a fabulous cruise for all of you (hopefully you won't read about it anywhere but on this site) and thanks for all the good wishes over the past months.

Lee

Hi Lee,

Glad you made it ok coming from so far! I think today should be less hot . It seems like a beautiful day to go see some tennis.

Have a great cruise!

Lee so glad you're here safely in the USA. I hope you and your son have a great cruise and calm seas!

We are back! Everything went well with debarkation and the drive back went well.

The ship finally stopped rocking and roling early this morning.
Margo, no wifi was available although while in Bermuda I did pick up the signal of a few unsecured wireless networks 9did nto access them)

Gotta go work now.

Anthony

Welcome home! I hope your reentry is as pleasant as returning to the real world can be.

Paige, Have you tried asking for a special souffle to be made? We always ask for a raspberry souffle with vanilla sauce on each cruise as well as steak tartare. Yummm

Lee - have a wonderful trip! So glad you got to see Lleyton move on in three straight sets. Cheers, Anne

Welcome home! 10 days until our 9/16 Navigator cruise.

A few weeks ago the Radisson web site said that Don Vito's (from the Diamond) would be re-opened on the Navigator in September. Was it there for your cruise, or was the alternative restaurant still Portofino's? From your review, it sounds as if it's still Portofino's.

Mrs. Jawbreaker, is that internet time still available? If so, how does one send a private message on this site. I can get messages at Joanandjoe@vtmail.com, but I don't know how to send private messaages here. Thanks.

Joe

Joe, to send a private message, click on the two people holding hands next with an envelope at the top of a message written by someone you want to PM.

For instance, if you wanted to message me, you would click at the top of this box.

Joanandjoe,
I'm sorry, we gave our internet time to Suzie. She was leaving on the navigator this week.

Sedona: No, I didn't ask for a souffle. I asked for everything else, crab legs 2 nights, chocolate covered strawberries a few nights. The assistant head waiter had memorized our cabin number (how embarassing!). I love being able to ask for something and poof! my wish is their command!

I hated to leave the ship, but my body was glad to be through rocking!

Paige

Glad you had good time Paige - it is so hard to re-enter the gourmet cooking world -

Welcome home, Anthony and Paige! Know the little boys are thrilled to see you!

When do we get new home photos??

yeh, we want more photos of your new surroundings!

Me too!

We should be able to get the boxes out of the way this week and then we will upload some.

It is bad to come home from a cruise to many boxes. We have made lots of headway, but still have some to go!

Anthony
