iggy's mom Posted March 20, 2009 #32 Share Posted March 20, 2009 Thanks for the pics! We will be on her in May. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shawilson Posted March 20, 2009 #33 Share Posted March 20, 2009 Thanks Tom for the great pics! Did you notice if the overhangs, i.e., weather protection work has been completed? Any evidence of construction still going on? Will be on the 4/19 sailing and are very excited, more for the ship than the ports. This will be our 5th time to the Mex Riv.

Tom Tom, you must work down there or something, yes? My aunt used to work in the GTE office in Long Beach (now Verizon, I assume, if the office is still there), and I believe they were near the Queen Mary. You don't happen to work at Verizon, do you?

Bailey15 Posted March 20, 2009 #41 Share Posted March 20, 2009 Haha.....a raise would be good!! But she is employed by Steiner and works in the Spa.....it was a kind thought though, is that how things work if you are employed directly through Carnival?? The more good comments etc....... Im not an experienced cruiser, this is only our 2nd cruise, last yr on the Victory but loved every minute of it.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deputymama Posted March 21, 2009 #42 Share Posted March 21, 2009 I wonder if it is too early to run down and place a flip flop on the deck chair I want for My cruise. Just kidding dont flame Me please. That is the funniest thing I've heard (read) all day! Thanks for the laugh!!! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theseyb Posted March 21, 2009 #43 Share Posted March 21, 2009 She'll actually be in SF on Saturday, we're planning a trip up there to see her and the Spirit in dry dock. Me too! I sail on her March 31st and am catching the 9:40am train up there tomorrow morning to go see her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phatsneaks Posted March 21, 2009 #44 Share Posted March 21, 2009 I'm sick 7 months and too many days till I get to go on her. :(:(:(:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shawilson Posted March 21, 2009 #45 Share Posted March 21, 2009 Tom, excellent photos. I am so glad to see the overhangs being put into place, much needed. Thanks a bunch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theseyb Posted March 21, 2009 #46 Share Posted March 21, 2009 Me too! I sail on her March 31st and am catching the 9:40am train up there tomorrow morning to go see her. Here are some photos of the Splendor this morning in S.F. Pier 35 in SF is a hard place to get a good view of ships so this is all I could manage. Having only sailed on CCL's smaller ships this one is noticeably bigger. WOW! I can't wait to board in 10 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mistyinca Posted March 22, 2009 #48 Share Posted March 22, 2009 I've only got 2 more weeks, and there is no way I can make it until then. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shawilson Posted March 22, 2009 #49 Share Posted March 22, 2009 Theseyb, thanks for the pics. Most people detest embarking from Pier 35, but I love it. We have done it twice. It kind of has that "old time feel", like when folks brought on steamer trunks and the like. The views of the city and Alcatraz are amazing. Nothing is better than sailing under the Golden Gate Bridge. But I digress. Does the Splendor really look as big as it seems? Does it look like a new car (after going "round the Horn") and all? Have a fantastic cruise! Hope you will do a trip report. We leave 4/19 and are getting excited. Pink doesn't scare us. Sharon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sirwinston Posted March 22, 2009 Author #50 Share Posted March 22, 2009 Hello All: Mistyinca: I live in Long Beach and I work on the Queen Mary. So no big deal to get the pics. Theseyb: Thanks for the S.F. Images.. Tom in Long Beach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
