Hi everyone. Just back from our 11 night Navigator cruise and we had a great time. Thanks to everyone on this board for encouraging us to try Radisson. I am preparing a more detailed review and a photo album that should be ready within a few days. I'll post it here as well as on CC and the Celebrity boards there (where we have been very active over the years). We did take advantage of the future booking discount along with the (now) past cruiser discount to book another cruise, so we must have liked something!! Anyway, it's good to be back, and look for the full review in a few days.

By the way, no exciting pig encounters to relate, but did run into a sand shark on the reef on Grand Turk. Later, Jeff

Jeff, Welcome home to you and Susan! I can't wait to hear the impressions of a first timer!
Thank you so much for putting together a review with pictures and I am really looking forward to it.

Susan and Jeff,

Glad to hear you enjoyed your first Radisson cruise! Who wouldn't, right? Waiting to see your photos. Where are you cruising to next??

Jeff,

Welcome home. So glad you enjoyed your Navigator cruise. Looking forward to your report and pics.

Betty

Welcome home, Jeff and Susan. Can't wait to hear your scoop on the Navigator. We just returned from the Radisson hotel in Aruba about nine hours ago. Huge difference in Radisson places. We were really spoiled on the ship!

Trish

Jeff and Susan - Welcome back!! I can't wait to read the full report. I love hearing about the Navigator as that was our very first ship and cruise. We loved it. Glad to hear you had a great time!!

Were you in a group or alone when you discovered the shark?

Hi, Jeff and Susan---welcome home---I'm dying to read your review, as I will be a first-timer on RSSC/Navigator in November. Liz

Welcome home, Jeff and Sue. Looking forward to hearing more of your trip.

The Navigator was our first ship and cruising experience. It spoiled us forever!

Welcome home Jeff and Sue. Looking forward to your report as we will be on the Navigator in late August.

OK, everyone. Some bad news. My home computer crashed last night, and I had just finished the review on Saturday and now have lost it (and will have to re-do it). In the meantime, here are our photos. http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/greygypsy1/album?.dir=/16bd&.src=ph&.tok=phDJRpCBQmZJmaYv

Oh No!!!!!

What a shame. I know what a hassle that can be. My computer crashed last year and I lost a lot of stuff.
But thanks for the pictures! what beach are you in Puerto Rico? Luquillo?

Love your pictures, Jeff and Susan.

Sorry about the computer crash. I hate losing stuff and all the hard work to get it up and running again is no fun!

Jeff, I loved the photos! Just what I needed for a fix to the fact that we are still in winter up here in the northeast. You are a really good photographer, by the way! (Especially loved the worm and the lobster!)

Jeff & Susan,

Loved seeing your photos. I'm so glad you had such an nice cruise.

Betty

Great photos, Jeff!!

Masaki

Jeff:

The photos were beautiful. The crash, how dreadful - hope you're back in operation soon. :(

PS: Loved the shots on the ship - made me homesick and looking forward to November even more (if that's possible)!

Jeff & Susan,

Thanks for sharing your photos. We have flown into some of those tiny Caribbean airports in the past. They make you very grateful for seatbelts. So sorry to hear about the computer crash. We've had that experience twice in the past 4 years. My husband is the one who has to handle it all. I'm the paranoid one, and when I finish something large like a trip report I immediately print a copy. Retyping beats rewriting but it does use up a lot of ink. I wish you well in getting up and running again.

Happy to report computer back in operation. Glad everyone is enjoying the pics. Yes the beach in PR is Luquillo. As you can tell it was a beautiful afternoon. The restaurant we ate at is right on the beach (or at least the beach is right out the back door). Thanks for the compliments on the photos. I have a year and a half old Olympus with one of those great lens covers for when the camera is not in operation. I've been taking pics since college and enjoy doing so. We have some other cruise photos, albeit not on Radisson that we may be able to share also, and some great pics of England and Ireland if anyone is going over there in the near future. Let me know. By the way, our e mail address remains the same after the crash - thank God for Yahoo!! It's greygypsy1@yahoo.com. Take care and look for the review - hopefully by this weekend. Jeff

Susan & Jeff,

Loved your pictures. It was like going "home" to my lovely Navigator. But when we went we didn't have those beautiful blue-green seas of the Carribean (ours were mostly gray with cold Australian/New Zealand weather). It looks like you had an absolutely fantastic time.

Glad you've got your computer back!!!

Thanks for sharing and brightening my day.

Susan and Jeff,

I agree with the reast...great pictures!

Anthony

Jeff and Susan---WOW!! Loved the pictures. I'll be first time on the Navigator to Tahiti in November, so was thrilled to see the photos from the ship. Am eagerly awaiting your review...sorry you lost it in the crash. There's nothing worse than finishing something really important and then losing it all....ugh!! <img border="0" alt="[bang]" title="" src="graemlins/banghead.gif" />

Great pictures Jeff - looks like you'all had a great time.

Just posted the Review in the Cruise Reviews section of LCT. Jeff
