Pretty cool to see the Pearl changing colors.

This is definitely not true about receiving comps.

I laughed so hard at this I snorted. Last weekend on Independence they gave me the "upgraded amenities" which happened to be the same products that were already in the tub, just in a smaller tube. 🙄

Yep, I will keep my fingers crossed for ya. I know you all are going to make it. I have always liked the Allure. Have you tried Samba Grill? I really like that restaurant and every time I have eaten there it has been relatively quiet, with great service.

I'm sure hundreds if not thousands on this board have. I booked for June 1, but looking forward to the media cruises, and reviews once the inaugural takes place. I am sure You Tube will be flooded with videos.

Have a great time. I cannot wait to start sailing on Allure for the weekend.

For now. 😞

I love it there. I have been to Coco Cay 35 times since the restart and 6 times before. I LOVE Coco Cay for different reasons based on my mood. We have done the water park 3 times, with the 4th coming up in November on OY. I only do this when I am feeling energized and did not stay up all night the night before in the casino. UGH! I have done Coco Beach club once, and it was worth it for the $150 that was paid, but I would not spend more than that. Another reason I love it is when I choose to stay on the ship, there are not many onboard and I can do whatever I want in peace & quiet. The rest of the time is usually split 50/50 between the pool where it is lively, and a quiet place on the beach in a shaded lounger. Even with two Oasis class ships, I have never had a problem finding a quiet place to hang out. Finally, the food is good, far better than Labadee and the old Coco Cay before it became PDCC. I am now looking forward to another option with Hideaway beach.

Honestly Mike... the food there is no where near as good as Coco Cay. So if you are not into a beach day, or doing the Zip line... enjoy the day onboard. That is what I do when I am not in the mood for a beach.

I love Mama Mia, The ice show & Blue Planet. Oceanaria is just okay, and really needs a remake like Oasis got with Aqua80. (Aqua70 would be nice LOL) I will be disappointed if they get rid of Blue Planet.

Please no... Please, please, please no!!

No. Good Luck.

I am hoping for Port Canaveral.

I try to make the first one count.. but I always have to go back for more. 😳

I cannot agree with you more. It is out of control! I tip traditional positions based on the service I receive. In general I mean waitstaff, bar staff/servers, and others of this nature. (I leave auto grats on, because that is what I choose to do) Just because a service is provided, does not mean a tip is warranted. If that is the case when I code someone, I should probably pull out my iPad after we bring them back and say... "Just one question for you to answer" as I glare at them. Heck, I'm just a nurse... physicians could make a killing on this... @Ocean Boy, your thoughts? 🤣 This took me longer than it should have... I had to read it like three times.. ugh! 🙄 Clearly I need some iced coffee right now as well It is absolutely discriminatory if it is based on anything like what was mentioned. Amazing.

I see it's on your list, so you must have decided on it. I am jealous... My first on Allure once she gets to PC is the day after Thanksgiving. UGH. I am on Indy's last sailing out of PC on Oct 20, and I will miss that ship, (one of my faves) but really looking forward to Allure.

I saw this on FB as well, and went to see if I could see anything on my login page. Unfortunately, I do not have any available that I have not already checked in for, as I checked in for Odyssey 2 days ago. Maybe I do not want to admit it, but I guess it is possible I am getting old and stuck in my ways. 😐 I prefer doing it on my Mac, even though I love to use my phone for many things. I have many things saved on the computer that it only takes me about 2 minutes to check in, and it would take me longer on a phone. I will clearly do it if they force me, but I wish they would leave the option on the website. Oh well.

Oh yeah Bill.. those burritos are great.. especially the breakfast burritos. In my opinion, El Loco Fresh just does not compare to this place with all the made to order items. They are very good!

If you are referring to the open deposit, and then book when you get home... yes that is what I also would do if I didn't not know what sailing I wanted. Now I have no choice and have to wait to book it at home, because the rules changed on the casino certs. Either way I have always received 100%. The only difference I can think of, and it does not make sense that this would be it since Next Cruise is separate, is that all of mine are casino comps.

This is odd to me. I book a sailing on almost every sailing, and I always book solo and always get the full amount.

Love that drink. I am not a big alcohol drinker, but I will have a few of those on ships with the L&C bar. Available the entire cruise. Sometimes they run out of buckets, but it tastes just as good in a regular cup.

Oh I would have... no doubt.

Hey Bill, Following. I like CCL myself, but I have not been on the Freedom. Hope you had a good time.

Vision and Radiance class are older, and they have the stations. IMO the Radiance class has the best laid out Windjammer... including plenty of seating indoors and out.

Oh FFS. This is 3 years old.
