We started sailing with Royal on the NEW Splendor of the Seas in 1999.

JUst on CNN . United States sending U.S. Marine rapid response anti terrorism force to Haiti

Also if the Pinnacle count exceeds the cut off number only the higher point pinnacles will be allowed all week and remainder of pinnacle's unable to use coastal. will not book D+ at dinner if this happens as it is now on several Coastal ships each week. several weeks ago the cutoff on Harmony was 1150 points and higher got access

Posted on Pinnacle members site that Wonder will start 3,4 rotation when star get to Canaveral and Utopia will go to Miami

Congratulations on making Diamond. Enjoy your benefits and wear your pin proudly. Bob & Nancy. The Villages Florida

Merion- Mom is correct in that Royal does not allow this.For one reason Royal has a lot more passengers and cabins than Celebrity and many others. Some people come on with a bag or two but many drag two or three thru the terminal, elevators and windjammer in addition to a big back pack that hits many of the other elevator passengers when they turn around. Check your bags and give a porter the tip as just part of the vacation

have love and marriage, Quest 1045 pm day3, comedy club, blue planet ,blades /mama mia, 70's dance party and several headliners. just finished 3 on her in Nov and return to BTB end odf month after Wonder

Just got off two BTB on Friday and returning monday .These are current Nadja Djurdjevic. & Cecilia (CECI).

Remember the good olds days also. All gone with the free upgrades for Pinnacles and Diamond plus, Free bridge and kitchen tours, meal with and officers. Saw another post and think we will be sharing the same ships in this month and later. Also sorry to hear passing of your Fur Babies. We were also in the short cruises mode until our Cocker crossed the rainbow Bridge. Bob & Nancy

THey are replacing a lot of the old equipment and opening two new surface lots next to garage. This was in the port news letter i got a week ago. Parking Lot Expansion Project Preparations are in full swing to accommodate the upcoming arrival of Royal Caribbean's Allure of the Seas to Port Canaveral’s Cruise Terminal 1 (CT1). On October 25, the Oasis-class size ship will make history as the first in its class to sail 3- and 4-day itineraries. To accommodate the expected higher passenger counts, efforts are well underway to construct expanded parking facilities adjacent to CT1. Phase one of this project will provide an additional 870 parking spaces with plans to add another 400 parking spots in subsequent phases of the project. The new surface parking areas will have a pay-on-entry system that aligns with the current pay-on-entry system at the CT1 parking garage. This upgrade will expedite the parking process and ensure convenience for all passengers sailing from CT1. Contractors for the project, Ivey's Construction and Canaveral Construction Company, began work in June and are on track for substantial completion just in time for Allure of the Sea's anticipated arrival. This $8 million capital improvement project is an investment in the Port’s commitment to ensuring a quality guest experience for cruise passengers.

I got the Port Canaveral news fall report last week and this was included. I was at terminal 1 10 days ago and two new parking areas next to garage were being striped . There is another also being finished ., the old big grass lot . Bob.

WE have used it 4 or 5 times in the last 12 months with no problem. WE usually arrive around 1015 am.

The Music hall for the Sept 10th cruise will be used as the Pinnacle lounge for the 118 Pinnacles aboard as Suite lounge not available for Pinn's. each evening

Was at the terminal two weeks ago on Independence and saw new surface lots under construction at terminal 1. The old paved lot on south side across street has been extended on west end. The old grass lot on west side has been paved and fenced and spaces marked but still under construction . Does anyone know whether they will be pay on entry or the slow process of pay at exit?

Harmony for sept. Diamond Jackie Santos. suite Zorma Zarate and Lyli De Leon

Will have to wait and see if the $25.00 vouchers are still in effect when the Allure starts the 3 and 4 day In October. The Utopia will have the same 3 & 4. I think it will still happen as will still have many Pinnacles to share coastal .

JUst a little info on Mamma Mia. Have seen it many times since the start . Near the end many people get up and start out and they miss the best of the performance. They come out like the final goodbye and then say "Do you want more/" and they go into around ten minutes of non stop dancing and singing. We have five booked on Allure starting Oct 25th in Cananveral so don't know yet what they will do o on tmes for 3 & 4 day. Bob & Nancy

Just to advise diamond + usually restricted to dinner space available only .Have dinned in coastal for lunch mostly on seven cruises this year on allure, harmony,wonder and with seven days they had some dinners open. We are on the first 5 day on allure on Oct.25 and three more 3 & 4 day after when she gets to Canaveral.Have a lot more pinnacles using canaveral and with only three days or four expect dinner and lunch to be used more. First night now is the filet and lately dinner is full.Our good friend is the OIC of all specialty restaurants on the Allure and have not gotten the word either on the Pinnacle vouchers for the specialty restaurants with the shorter cruises. With the cheaper pricing on suites changing to 3 & 4 days they should all be full and many first time full suite crusiers so dinner might be a premium

Norma Zarate & Lyli De leon in Suite and Jacky Santos in Diamond

Lower bath on left when you walk in has a nice round shower

WE sailed on Mariner after return from pandemic sept. 10, 2021 to May 8th 2023 for 21 cruises with all cabins on deck 9 and none updated except for new shampoo,soap, dispensers some new shower heads in a few .same chair ,sofa etc. but had no problem with cabins.Mostly in cabins 9318, 9618, 9308, 9608

Collision with the Fisher Island Ferry and a private yacth in Miami has delayed a Carnival, Norwegian and MSC ships for docking this morning. Have one dead in water so search is on in channel by coast guard

You are correct. We booked two BTB on Utopia for Sept 13th and 2 more BTB on the Utopia for Jan 6 and price for Wonder one day later in Jan was over $ 900.00 more for the same cabin. Also the 3 & 4 day on Oaisis class starts in Oct out of Canaveral on the Allure. They will have The Utopia to coordinate with the Nassau beach club later in 2025.We booked the four on pre opening day for C&A and on the 23rd price dropped on two so got 426.00 price adjustment the next day.

Here are two current for your list Wonder......Kenny Melanie, Anna Myronenko Independence.....Vikesh Boyjonath
