3CatsInMA Posted January 23, 2011 #51 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Thanks all for posting the webcam links. We were on the Serenade just 8 days ago, but looking out the window at 3+ feet of snow on the ground, and 2 degrees on the thermometer, it feels like a lifetime ago! Looking forward to this week's Virtual Cruise!!!:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BonTXNY Posted January 23, 2011 #56 Share Posted January 23, 2011 It's now 11:27am Galveston time. Trainman, I just BET you're up there in the Windjammer enjoying every morsel. Can't wait for the pictures and your report. Time to switch to Radio's "Live" thread. This is just the best! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffett fan Posted January 23, 2011 #60 Share Posted January 23, 2011 It is time to close down the Command Center here at the lovely Red Roof In, pack up, and head for the Port. My next post will be from onboard the Allure of the Seas. Either late this afternoon or this evening. See you then... We're all SO excited!! Safe travels Trainman :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trainman-2 Posted January 23, 2011 Author #64 Share Posted January 23, 2011 I went to the Park Café for a pre-lunch today. (Radio had referred to the steak sandwiches as small) I planned to go the the Windjammer afterwords but I never made it. Too much food at the Café. I ran into two CC Members who recognized me from my beads. We hat a great lunch together. The steak sandwich was small but excellent! So was the Potato Leak Soup! I also had the Waldorf Salad but I didn't like it. It was sour! It was made using green apples. The desert was excellent! I should have gotten a bunch of them to go!

Trainman-2 Posted January 23, 2011 Author #65 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Here are two neat things from my cabin, #6672. I don't remember either of them from the Oasis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trainman-2 Posted January 23, 2011 Author #66 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Arrival and check in was really smooth except for one minor problem. A Sheriff's Deputy told me when I arrived at 9:55 am that they were not loading passengers yet and to come back in an hour. Having sailed on the Oasis last January, I knew he was wrong so I went into the parking lot and found a Handicapped space close to the terminal. I figured out that I could tuck my single suit case inside my walker and push the whole thing along with minimal problems. I found an attendant and handed over the suitcase and then proceeded to the check in area. Check in took maybe 5 minutes including waiting and then I hung out in the waiting area. Just after 11 am they started boarding and in a few minutes was on the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trainman-2 Posted January 23, 2011 Author #73 Share Posted January 23, 2011 The nice thing about being on the Allure or the Oasis is that we are the biggest ship around. It is sort of neat looking down on everyone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
