10/24/2009 Bash on the Boat Cruise (I'm with BOB) Chapter #10

O.K., here are the pics of the sunsetting over Cartagena:

Those are beautiful

BTW, did you check out the thread on the "trip report" board? Looks like a lot of people had issues with the behavior of kids and adults alike on the repo.

I tell you, the group of 10-12 in the aft-starboard corner of the QC pool each day were awful.

Haven't read the report, but I did hear some stories on our 5 day about some of the happenings on the 15 day.

Thanks.

I was actually looking on RCCL's site and they have a few cruises that go to Cartagena. Like I said, I'd go there again in a second on a ship, but I would not vacation there. The beaches were not impressive and the newer section did nothing for me. The older section and history are great though.

Read it and all I can say is WOW!

We are thinking Princess as a backup plan to Alaska. Just nervous about cruising another line after DCL.

So Andy, anything else planned between now and the BOB?

What did you do with your DVC points for last week? Were you able to move them?

Our points are in a "Holding Status" and have to be used by May 31, 2009 or we loose them.

Haven't read the report, but I did hear some stories on our 5 day about some of the happenings on the 15 day.

Like I said, there was a consistent 10-12 each day at the pool and maybe up to 20 total that were real winners.

Funny how the Mega Group wasn't that big after all on the ship.

We did over hear people complaining about others in the group when they weren't all together.

Guess you'll have a trip to WDW then before May.

Unless you want to rent those points out.

Sorry, forgot to answer your first question.

Nothing planned at the moment. We were checking into a 3 day on the Wonder for May 2009, but for 3 of us in a cat 10 the price was nearly 2K. Guess we won't be making our friend's wedding cruise afterall, as I still have to finish paying for the 10/09 cruise.

Hope you're not looking for warmth or sun. According to the UK BOBers on the Repo, the weather isn't all that great up there. They said you won't see many Brits on the cruise.

Although, Suz has already told me to start saving my money for it (I don't think so).

For us its more about the ports than the sun or beach. We'll save the Caribbean cruises for that. We would never have gotten to visit all the places that we did on the Med cruise any other way. Doing the same thing in the Baltic sounds great combined with the Disney ships.

Might be doable.......

I must have missed that one. I almost said that I even owned a Commodore 64 once. Then I noticed that you said Nintendo. I am really dating myself.

I played games like Kennedy Approach eons ago. I have never found a good airline or airport simulator. Given my profession, I seem to be drawn to those for some reason.

LOL My first computer was an Apple IIC. Wait no, I had a Timex computer that only had 4KB of memory and was tiny. I couldn't make it work for anything!

I am an airplane nut so I have had many versions of MS Flight Simulator.

Let's talk via PM if you find you can't use them. I'm sure Suz will be itching to get away this winter for a long weekend.

Sounds like a plan to me.......

Good night Andy. I guess I'd better get going too.

Night Andy.

I think I'm done for the night as well.

I'll try to organize some more pictures in the next couple of days.

Night all.

"ALL" the pics and videos I took are in my Webshots album that I added the link to earlier today. No more pics, or videos, to add I'm afraid.

I like the video of the QC pool the best!

Jeff, thanks for posting, too!
