I hope some of our friends that are still cruising can get to their hotels or airport safely and on time. My Son went to this festival in 2018 and it is absolute chaos! That year they moved the festival to a different location and it was a bit of a logistical nightmare. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jk04 Posted March 24, 2023 #3017 Share Posted March 24, 2023 (edited) Not really a K-State or a Sparty fan, but I love good basketball. That was a fantastic Sweet 16 game. I’m sorry for those of you that are MSU fans, but they played a heck of a game. Nowell was just a force of nature tonight for K-State.

FromSea2ShiningSea Posted March 24, 2023 #3018 Share Posted March 24, 2023 Hey, Fellow Bella 1.0 cruisers, Regarding the group photo on the staircase on Formal Night, the photographer took 2 Hug pictures. One of them was a close-up shot. We purchased that close-up one. It's a very nice picture. I can scan it and if anyone is interested in getting a copy, please give me your email address in cryptic form (use spaces and spell out "at", don't use the symbol "@") and I'd be happy to send it to you. Thanks. 2 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doing much better😉 Signed up for bridge climb in Sydney 😁 Give our love to Helen When we were in Sydney, we were all set to do the bridge climb. A thunderstorm came through and we got cancelled. Very disappointing. Gave us a hard time reimbursing our payment. Good luck. You go through about 20 minutes of training before the climb. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was great to meet you and Laura and so many other new friends on Oasis! Nope. No hiking poles. You can't take anything on the bridge they do not supply. You wear a safety harness and a lanyard that is attached to the bridge safety system. You go to a dressing room and get down to your underwear and put on a provided jumpsuit. Nothing goes with you. You go through about 20 minutes of instruction before you even get on the bridge. Everything is attached to the jumpsuit. If you want pictures you pay for a package. I don't remember if Go Pros attached to you are allowed it's been a few years. They are very strict about anything that can fall from the bridge. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We just did the Pylon Climb instead. Plenty of stairs, same view from the top, where you can watch the bridge climbers at eye level, and only about $15 per person in case I couldn't make it. ☺️And you can take all the photos and stuff that you want to up to the top.

I hope some of our friends that are still cruising can get to their hotels or airport safely and on time. Ultra is a mess and a lot of people get out of control. The clientele have definitely gone down since it started. Same thing with Wheels Up Guns Down. It brings in the rift raft bikers (not bicycles) and crime goes up at this time. 6 hours ago, Luckynana said: Welcome home, Deb and Andy! Nothing like sleeping in your own bed.

Wished we would have come as we were. Next time we will be there. 💃🏼 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are very strict about anything that can fall from the bridge. In 2017 & 2018 attached to pros weren’t allowed. We didn’t bother to ask in 2022 since we assumed it would be the same. That was one of the main reasons for wanting to climb up was to take pictures ourselves. For $200.00 + per person and no picture taking it was a hard no for us. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I shared this with our two daughters and Sue's sister. They want to send their gratitude for such a lovely memorial to Sue. Thank you everyone for all the kind words. I know this is something that we will keep and watch many times. Marty (nasa1974) Condolences on your loss. We did a burial at sea in December with our daughter after her husband passed away unexpectedly. Royal does a great job with it I think. Our daughter will always remember this special monent as I am sure you and your family will. May you find peace. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
