were on board all of us personally by the cruise director Florian Herzfeld greeted with a handshake. We still remember him very well from our first DOLPHIN night of partying at that time with Wencke myrrh, which remained with us unforgettable. In the lane stood the cabin attendants, who accompanied us to the cabins. Unfortunately, there are no pictures, because we would otherwise have caused a huge traffic jam. We are led into the cabin 4003rd
On board everyone of us was personally welcomed with a handshake by the cruise director Florian Herzfeld. We had him in good memories from our very first party unforgettable night on DOLPHIN . The cabin stewardesses were waiting for us in one line to escort us to our cabins. There were no pictures taken as I would Occur a major congestion. So we were escorted to our cabin 4003rd We
picked this cabin for very special reason.
We had deliberately chosen this cabin.
provides a look forward.
She offered a view to the front.
Experts will see it: The view was great but we get acknowlegement of each Manoevres Which should follow ... not just with our eyes but with our ears ...
experts will recognize it. The view ahead was so good that we noticed, of course, also any maneuver that lies ahead ... not only visually but also acoustically ...
From our boat tour wussten wir ja, dass es zahlreiche renovierte Kabinen gab, aber wir erwischen eine nicht-renovierte, die man daran erkennt, dass man keine Einhandmischbatterie hat. Kleinere Gebrauchsspuren sind sichtbar, aber für das Alter des Schiffes normal und durchaus üblich.
From our ship visit we knew that there were a number of renovated cabins but we got one which was not renovated. It was easy to identify as they do not have one hand-warm and cold water mixer. You see the age of the ship but quite normal for this age of the ships.
The toilet flush made some trouble. There were no information folder so we had some problems to call the reception desk but finally we found the number in the daily programs. Before I could hang up the receiver and tell what happened, someone from the technicians knocked at the door and within minutes all problems were solved.
The toilet flushing makes trouble. Since there was no information kits, it was difficult to communicate the reception, but eventually we found the number in the daily program. Before I hung up and really could not tell at all what was said at the reception desk, it beheads already at the door and two company technicians were there to have fixed the problem within minutes.
At least one, however, has donated a new flat TVs. We would, however, necessarily should take the U.S. adapter and a power strip. That was a little bit.
They invested into new flat TVs. We should have our U.S. adapters and a multiple power socket with us as just one outlet is a little less.
Strange to us: classic keys for the cabin door Which you really need to lock by key. Has the advantage you have no trouble when you left your card in the cabin and the door locked.
Unusual for us classic key for the cabin door, you must shut off even classical. Has indeed the advantage that you can not include the card when the car door falls ...
Die Klimaanlage steuert man am Bett sehr praktisch. Nur leider kann man den Luftstrom regulieren. Temperatur wird zentral gesteuert.
The control device for the air condition just next to the bed was very smart but you can only control the volume of the air-stream but not the temperature as this was controlled centrally on the ship.
Something very nice: information to compare DELPHIN VOYAGER with MSC POESIA and on the German TV-network who will broadcast the next day about cruise ships in Kiel which includes the other two ships which were expected in Kiel (FUNCHAL and MSC ORCHESTRA).
Gut war die Information mit the comparison of the DOLPHIN VOYAGER with MSC POESIA and the reference to the ZDF-hub that will create tomorrow in Kiel an article on the three cruise ships in Kiel (FUNCHAL and MSC Orchestra).
Unusual were the size of the cabinets. The ship had indeed been in Japanese hands. Which are all grown so much smaller that one gets along with German children's sizes, for which the cabinets were made. We would, however, only send our presser on board to measure the cabinets and would give us a surcharge for particular folding technique for the DOLPHIN VOYAGER invoice so that our shirts fit with collar size 43rd
The size of the closet were somehow strange to us. We knew that the ship is Japanese origin. Well they are not so tall like a typical Central European but closets for our children sizes which the closets were obviously made for. We need to send the maid who is doing our ironing to come on board and seize the dimensions of the closets to make sure that she would fold it appropiately for a cruise on DELPHIN VOYAGER. But we expect an extra-charge to make our 16"-sized shirts fitting in this closet.
Our shirts would fit to the upper part of the closets which were occupied by the life vests.
In den oberen Regalen hätten unsere Hemden fit in, but they were full of the life jackets.
And the small safe had only Japanese dimensions.
The safe was then build for Japanese.
Before we went to bed the cabin advise not to forget to leave the keys in the. was
evening, an indication that we forget Do not like to leave the key there.
And a treat for the night, the many large well-known international companies have been abolished.
So a sweet treat for the night Which you do not get anymore with major cruise lines.
We looked around the ship. We knew a lot from a visit before but many things were not ready to read and access. The gym.
We look to the ship. Many things we already know, but much was still not available at that time. The fitness room.
actually completely unnecessary ...
Something you do not need on the ship ...
With the hight of the stairs you will have made enough exercises including muscle soreness before you would reach the gym. So I could not get my father on this ship as he will have problems to handle the stairs with his body condition.
The step heights after only one has daily amount of exercise including muscle behind it, has before you get to the gym at all. can I get my father would, therefore, on the ship no longer, because he could no longer physically participate.
The Atrium. Back then we had to attract as I think about shoes, so we going to do anything dirty ...
The atrium. We had to wear covers then to avoid any dirt.
But still very elegant.
But still nice elegant ...
The Panorama Lounge was then not yet available. Almost like the Royal Viking Lounge for Royal Caribbean, only (unfortunately) a haven for smokers. One part was for Non smoking, but somehow not really, or at least ... one knew nothing quite like this ...
The panorama lounge-what then not yet accessible. A little bit like the Royal Viking Lounge with Royal Caribbean but (unfortunately) a paradise for smoker. A part for which non-smoker as well but not so really ... Nobody knows ...
Very nice and was not open then as misused as storage: the piano-bar.
What was well done, and what at that time probably was not yet open, as it was Stock has been misused: the piano bar ...
pity that there is no real fire ...
What a shame that this was no real fire-place.
The show lounge.
The show lounge. And as usual
a single-deck show lounges: the columns ...
The columns like in all one-tiered show lounges.
Was very narrow when it was fully occupied but I experienced more narrow on other ships.
Was it all a bit tight when it was full, but I have But it also has seen worse.
The outside promenade leads unfortunately not around.
The outside promenade was not round-the-ship.
"Please shut this door silenty. Thank you!" - With older ships you do not have electrically powered sliding glass doors.
In older ships is, there is no electrical sliding glass doors ...
The sun deck is the culmination of the afternoon turned stay, it had not been so windy and cold.
The sun deck would have been the highlight afternoon of the stay if it was not so cold and windy.
On the pool deck under the jogging track it was quite good to survive. It was only sorry that the wool blankets were in the cabins like pool towels. Otherwise it would have been very cozy and comfy without walking to the cabin.
left on the pool deck under the jogging track stand quite well. Too bad the blankets as pool towels in the cabins disbursements. Otherwise we would have here can do very comfortably without having first had in the cabin.
Special offer for the cocktail-lover: Dolphin special. The quality is, however, fluctuated greatly in the different bars have.
The special for cocktail fans: Dolphin Special. The quality in the different bars varied a lot as reported by some cruise-mates.
on the daytime on the pool deck.
day still on the pool deck ...
but unfortunately in the Dolphin Lounge in the evening because it is not warm enough out there. otherwise had a really nice open-air party can give that. In the evening, unfortunately no longer with the same mood as the day.
but in the evening in the Dolphin Lounge as it was not warm enough for outside. It could have been examined a wonderful open-air party. So not with the same good atmosphere like during the day.
Of course I got my Douglas Ward signed by the captain.
course I get my signed Douglas Ward. pity only that the promised call from the sales manager did not come ...
There are three restaurants on the DOLPHIN VOYAGER: The Atlantic ...
There were three restaurants on DOLPHIN VOYAGER: The Atlantic ...
We were allocated in the Pacific ...
We are divided in the Pacific ... And
which should be called Indian, I just have not the faintest idea how the restaurant is called ...
This one should be the Indian ... but I do not have the slightest idea Which name the restaurant had.
They opened coffee-time at hrs 16.30.
The cake buffet was opened at 16.30 clock.
It was really all that the heart desired.
Everything what heart and stomach loves what available. Even for those who
disliked sweet treats ... but Britons are the better MCs to celebrate finger sandwiches ...
Even for those not on the sweet stuff ... only the British can still better ... Sandwiches celebrate ...
good was that everything was served in small pieces, so you could try more.
It was good that they offered little bites just so you could try more.
But they refilled everything even shortly before the coffee-time terminated.
However, it was filled up everything, even the end of the official coffee hour.
why: Nobody has to starve on the DOLPHIN VOYAGER.
Sun Hung On none must day for DOLPHIN VOYAGER.
During coffee-time so it was set-sail. Somehow it was stressful because we did not have more time to relax and enjoy. They waved to us and this part is part of my wish list for Christmas gifts.
place during the coffee hour and the exit. It was kind of stressful because we did not have more time and thus we could not enjoy all alone. Thus, waved to us and the part is on my Christmas wish list ...
There was no port birthday and now we are not the QUEEN MARY 2 stood very few to wave to us before the Unilever House.
It was no port our anniversary and what not ship QUEEN MARY 2: so only very few came to wave us from the Unilever building.
They were there more for the products of Unilever, but for us.
They were probably more because of the Unilver products because, as our account.
What I liked in the DOLPHIN very good: front view, which is only reserved for those who have found this corner.
What I liked very much on DOLPHIN: Not just the one person who found the corner had a view to the front.
It was too cold and too windy outside ... again something we could "claim" with the cruise operator ... if there was nothing else we could claim about ...
us it is too cold and windy outside ... again something we "complain" us with the tour operator can ... if we find nothing else more ...
past the St. Pauli landing stages, which looked a week ago, yet much more alive during the Harbour birthday.
Passing the St. Pauli Landing Stages Which were very vivid during the week before the anniversary port.
CAP SAN DIEGO and RICKMER RICKMERS ... I can not believe how busy it was the week before.
CAP SAN DIEGO and RICKMER RICKMERS ... hard to believe how much last week was still going on.
Bruno I have given the order to "man in the water" to search for that somewhere on the level of Övelgönne to be. I had seen him on a same-Travel-Special Mouse TV and wanted to finally see in nature.
I gave Bruno the order to look for the "man in the water" which should be around the area of Övelgönne. I saw him in a special edition on German TV and children would be very much interested to see him in reality.
Instead I was thinking if the ship had at inbound container for our supply chain ...
Instead, I ask myself whether we have on this ship, incoming container supply for our production ...
