Close up shot...they are there and should have no problem tendering, from the looks of it.

Food Is Subjective!

 

 

6 of us had the Lamb Chops

 

- One said it was tough and over cooked

- One said it had no lamb flavor

- Four said it was excellent

 

 

 

They could have all been right! We were at a company dinner last night for 600 people and the quality of the steak at our table varied about like what you had above. Fortunately it was a big portion and my wife and I shared the better of the two.

What BEAUTIFUL pictures! Thank you all for posting them!

 

Is there an accurate website to track ships? marinetraffic doesn't have the Vision, at all & another has it just coming out of the canal! I'm going through great cruise withdrawal & January seems so far off! ROYAL CARIBBEAN, take me away!!!:eek:

17 Oct 2012 - Day 13 - Tendering in Cabo San Lucas

 

 

Good Morning Everyone,

 

 

I am posting from a shady spot on the rear of the Pool Deck. Starboard (Smoking) side of course.

 

 

Judith is much better and came up to the morning coffee area this morning about 5:30 (local time) and joined in out vigorous but polite political discussion on last night's debate and the election. We broke for breakfast and she is now bakd down in our cabin taking it easy.

 

 

We are not going ashore today.

 

 

There was a lot of movement of the ship last night. I bought some sea sick pills for Judith last night. The movement was not so bad that the crew set out sea sick bags everywhere.

The port area is calm and the ship is rolling gently.

 

The sun is coming up and driving away the low clouds. It looks like it is going to be a nice, but hot, day.

 

 

I am going to slip over to Photobucket and try to upload photos for awhile. I am way behind uploading.

Just found this thread today. Luckily it's a slow day at work so I'm all caught up now.

[LBumb]

enjoy your day

[Trainman-2]

I managed to get five (5) photos uploaded.

I LOVE Cabo....Wish I were there now :)

[crusinanan]

have a wonderful day ... i posted apic of the ship in port ..... glad to hear judith feels better too

[debshomespun]

All the webcam shots of the Vision in Cabo are wonderful! Never been to Cabo. Want to go there someday. We have been to Puerto Vallarta (land vacation for a week).

 

Great job Jim and glad to hear Judith is feeling better! Enjoying all your pictures!

[Trainman-2]

Jim - Loving this thread.

 

I've noticed some oddities about the times of meals, etc., like Early Dining is from 5:45 to 6:30 and Second seating from 8:30 to 9:30. I doubt they could pull off dinner in 45 or 60 minutes. The Compass for this day (above) has other deviations like Early Dining is from 6 to 7.

 

Is the Compass writer/editor hitting the "sauce"? I never check the time for dining after the first night.

 

We are boarding the Vision as you disembark, and wonder how trusting we should be with the times in the Compass.

 

Thanks for taking the time to do this.

 

 

The MDR opens for the First Seating at 5:45 Ship's Time Every Evening! I asked our head waiter about it and he told me to ignore the Compass, that it would always be 5:45 to open.

They do have the Texas Holdem Tournament. I will have to check on the others.

 

Overall, it is a great ship but without all of the nifty things people expect on the larger ships. It goes in for refit in about a year and will have a bunch of new stuff added then.

[Trainman-2]

It is about 2:50 pm. The last tender was to leave the pier at 2:30 pm.

 

Guest Services is paging 5 people.

 

I guess you can't have "runners" at a tendered port... :eek:

[Trainman-2]

I am still having trouble uploading photos... :(

[bigeagle12]

I too love pictures of the tug boats (and the pilot boats). I have been comparing your pictures to my pictures of Tampa to San Diego last year .. and we had same tugs in most ports :D

[Trainman-2]

Uploading one photo at a time sometimes works...

[Trainman-2]

Who Is This?

 

He somehow looks familiar... :eek:

 

 

[Trainman-2]

We're Outta Here!

 

We are making the turn around "Lands End" as I type.

 

I don't see anyone swimming after us. :eek:

 

 

Sea Day tomorrow

 

 

Turn Around Day in San Diego the day after tomorrow.
