  5. Hello All! I know many of us have been to Nassau Bahamas, quite frequently, and some are bored with that port, and end up staying on the ship. This past February, my husband discovered a new place in Nassau called Jet Simulation Of Nassau, they opened up about a year ago. They have a 737NG simulator, that is just like the plane Simulators, that real pilots train on. They have a very extensive data base of airports and locations that you can take off and fly from. For my husband’s session, he chose a 90 minute session with two locations, Dubai & Saint Maarten. They also have real time weather conditions, depending on where were you select to fly, whatever is happening in that location is the weather that you get. You can also request a certain Weather condition, if you prefer to challenge yourself flying in a thunderstorm or something like that. They have spectator seats behind The captain and Co-captain seats. It is fun for the passengers to have this experience as well. I have Never been able to sit in a cockpit during a flight, until this point. They are located in “The Pointe” right next to the British Colonial Hilton. I have walking issues sometimes however,it is about a 10 minute easy walk from the ship.  I highly recommend, this one of a kind experience next time you visit Nassau Bahamas!!! http://jetlinesimulationbahamas.com/ 95C42239-A763-429E-9F79-B8B21554D4C9.MOV
  6. Yes That is a pretty pretty much accurate, we were able to walk it with no problem. I know the gentleman that runs this personally, he does a fantastic job making you feel at ease, & explaining everything. My husband did the flying, I got to sit in the cockpit behind him, they have spectator seats behind the pilot, and and co captain seats, and even that was so much fun for me.
  7. You are very welcome! I can tell you, for having been to Nassau so many times, I know a lot of cruisers are bored of Nassau, and don’t even bother getting off the ship, this experience is definitely worth getting off the ship! My husband had an absolute blast, it is so realistic. You definitely feel like you are flying in a real plane. I love it that they have true real time weather conditions, depending where you selected to fly to, and from. i definitely recommend this experience!!! just send them a E-mail to book!! http://jetlinesimulationbahamas.com/
  8. TheTwangster did it just a few Days Ago when he was in Nassau, & had a Blast!!! It is very amazing, to have something different to do in Nassau and it is very realistic!, I highly recommend!

  10. Hello All. I am going on Oasis Of the Seas. 8/5/18 with my husband, to celebrate our 21st anniversary. It was 2007, the last time I did Eastern Caribbean, Can anyone recommend excursions in St. Thomas, and Saint Maarten, post hurricane, that are reasonable priced, or even recommending a nice beach to go to, in one, or both of those places? Thank You in advance. ?
  11. Yes, that would be great!!! I will be staying in my Very First Suite, when I go on Enchantment 2-2-18, a GS. I am sure the Shower should be pretty decent in that Cabin. ?
  12. Hi There I have a group cruise on Enchantment of the seas, 2-2-18 I am trying to find out exactly when Enchantment of the sea’s, will be going into drydock? I know there has to be a place, to see a schedule for these. I would also like to know if it is possible to see what features will be done with the drydock, any upgrades and such? I feel like a newbie cruiser, asking this question, you would think I would know where to find this information by now, but I can’t seem to find it. ? Thank You in Advance for any help. ️CruisingKat️
  13. I am ok with you posting in the Rcperiscopers Group Cristina ?
  14. I did not think of that! I will have to try that. Thank you very much!!! ☺ï¸
  15. I don't want to be known as the cruiser referred to as princess and the Pea, HOWEVER...... I had a hard time sleeping with the pillows provided by Royal Caribbean. I do sleep with a memory foam pillow, and the pillows that Royal Caribbean has, did not seem to support my neck even with two pillows 😕 My next cruise again will be on majesty of the seas, for a group cruise on February 3rd. More than likely, I will be bringing my own pillow. 😉 Thank you everyone for your input. 😊
  16. Tyvm.I did not take them when I went on Allure this past May. I did not think about asking for extra when I was on Allure, but did have some sleeping issues. I do have neck & Migranes problems sometimes. If my Neck is not supported properly, I get migraines.
  17. Going on Majesty of the Seas tomorrow. I am laying here thinking if there is anything I am forgetting. I sleep with a memory pillow, as well as a Body pillow. I was going to bring my own pillows for this Cruise, but I can't justify the Space they take up. With that being said, I am wondering if my state room Attendant will be able to accommodate my Request, for like 2 extra pillows? My Friend has also stated she will want a extra pillow as well. Thank for any help answering this Question.
  18. Hello Mason I actually post a Monthly list of Cruisers here in the "Periscope Peeps" Forum, and between this month, and Oct, I have Cruisers on all those ships. A very nice Gentleman named Dirk, is on Navigator Presently. If you have a smart phone, you could install the Periscope App. Here is the Link for that. https://www.periscope.tv/#share I also have a Periscope Facebook Group, with over 500 members. I am sure would not be too hard to find Cruisers, going on those ships in there as well. I post the monthly List there too, here in the link for the Facebook Group. https://www.facebook.com/groups/rcperiscopers/ Hope that helps, good Luck. 😊

  21. Day 3 Key West Fl 8-4-16 Today I was up by 7:00am, and on the First 8:00am shuttle downtown to catch the Arrival of Enchantment of the Seas with Periscope, arriving into Key West. First stop however, was STARBUCKS!! After getting my Grande White Chocolate Mocha, I made my Way to Pier B. For those that watched, or will watch my Scope, I must Apologize for the shaking at the Start of the Scope, was very hard to Contain my Excitement of Seeing the Enchantment of the Seas pulling into Key West. Thank You to Matt Hochberg for giving me Key West Cruise Ship Link, so I could Find out exactly what Ships would be in port During my Stay in Key West. I also want to thank Emmy Schaffer for helping me figure out, what time Enchantment would Arrive in port. The Enchantment was the very First Cruise I ever took, so she Definetly holds a special place in my Heart as my Favorite Ship. Enchantment is not the Biggest or the Smallest, but has a lot to offer!!! After Periscoping The Enchantment of the Seas for well over 30 mins, I made my way back to my Hotel, to Check on Hubby, and Daughter. At 3:00pm We made our way back into Town for our Snorkle Excursion. Thankfully the Enchantment of the Seas was still in Port. There is several companies that offer water Excursion activities. We chose to go with Fury Water Sports. There were several times, and packages to choose from. We picked the Rum and Reggae Sunset Snorkle. All Drinks were included, however the Rum Punch was just Ok. I think, I caught a Great Sunset this Evening from our Fury Snorkle Boat!!! After our Snorkle adventure. We were on the Hunt for a great place to have a nice Steak Dinner. We ended up Finding a place called the Boat House, which was located 2 blocks from Green Street. Right near the Conch House seafood Restaurant. Our Dinner was a little Pricey, but very Good!!! After Dinner we got back on the Shuttle to head back to the Hotel. I think this evening I felt more tired than I have any other evening. It must have showed on my face as well, when I got off the Shuttle a woman said to me "Long Day? You look Tired" lol!!! Tomorrow morning One more attraction, then heading home!!
  22. Day 2 Key West Fl 8/3/16 Today we decided to take it easy in the morning and Sleep in. We had Breakfast in the Room. 12:00 we made our Way Downstairs to catch the Hotel Shuttle into town. Once in town, we had Trollley Tickets to go all around town, hopping off and on as we saw something we wanted to do. We stayed on the trolley for one complete loop, to get all of the history chat about Key West. For the second loop, we decided to get off at the Butterfly exhibit. It was very reasonably priced. $12.00 per Adult $8.00 for Childern I think. We got the Military Discount of $9.00 per Adult. Next Stop was, Jimmy Buffet's Margaritaviile. Had a great Snack, of Guac and Chips, with also Conch Fritters, while we watched and listened to Jimmy Buffet Music. I of course got a T-Shirt from the Margaritaviile Store, as well as a free Glass Margaritaviile tumbler, Shuttie Driver had coupons for various of things!!! We hopped back on the Trolley to go to a Beach, that we saw on our first loop around. Was called Higgins Beach. It was just ok. There was not really anything there to see, as far as snorkeling in the water, and was very Shallow. Thankfully my Daughter and I were smart enough to have on our water Shoes we had purchased at Divers Direct. Getting into the water Was somewhat treterous, as there was many Rocks!! We only stayed there about 45 mins. It was now about 4:30, we hopped back on the trolley to go back to Stop #1 to make our way to Mallory Square once again to try and Capture the Legendary Key West Sunsets!!! This is also my Daughter's Favorite place to go in Key West, as she loves environment, and the Street Performers!!!! We did manage to catch some colors in the Sky, but still partially blocked by the Clouds. After the Sun went Down, we headed back to the hotel to relax, and get a good nights rest for the Next Day!!! Matt Hochberg gave me the Link for the Key West Cruise Ship info, as far as what Cruise Ships will be in port on what Days. My very First Cruise Ship, that I ever Stepped on, will be here in Key West Tomorrow 8/4/16, Enchantment of the Seas!!!! You can bet I will be there to Periscope her Arrival!!!
