LIVE From the ALLURE of the SEAS with Trainman & Judith

[maxs mom]

Hey Jim!

Just finishing a review of our two weeks on the Freedom, so I am just now catching up with yours. Great....as always. Rev is a cruise buddy of mine so tell her hello from me!

Looking forward to following along now that I finished my review. Sorry that you won't be cruising with RCI again, but I can understand. Maybe give it a try one time and see how it goes.

Y'all keep having fun!

I am really interesting on seeing more info about Samba's! Thanks for keeping us posted so far!

Good Morning Trainman:

 

I am loving your live review. I am so interested in reading your blog. How do I find it. I, too, live on a small spread with horses and would love to compare stories.

 

Love the picture of you and your lovely wife where you are dressed in uniform. Thank you for your service.

 

Hope Judith is feeling well today.

[LBumb]

Enjoy your day

Love your review!! Glad Judith is ok!! I hope ya'll have a wonderful rest of your cruise:D

 

Also, I love all of your pictures!

Judith is feeling good this morning.

 

For those of you who don't know, she is a former Doctor and carries her "Doctor's Kit" with her when we travel.

 

We had a nice breakfast in the Windjammer. it was not crowded at all and we got a nice table for two by the window.

 

 

 

 

[Trainman-2]

We have been backing into Falmouth for a while and are about in position to tie up.

 

 

 

 

 

 

[Trainman-2]

Across from us is an island or peninsula that created the old English Harbor from the Sailing Ship Days.

 

There is a nice looking hotel/condo project which, I was told, last time we were here, failed financially and is just sitting there, half built.

 

 

 

 

 

 

[Trainman-2]

That's All For Now Folks...

 

 

We are heading ashore soon to see if we can set up some sort of taxi powered historical tour.

Gee whiz Jim, you're on a cruise and still posting on the Corvette Forum!;)

Gee whiz Jim, you're on a cruise and still posting on the Corvette Forum!;)

 

I am an early riser and it keeps me busy...

 

I have followed and participated in local, state, and national politics for years.

 

I am a former elected City Councilman.

 

We both watched President Obama's speech last night but CC Rules prohibit me from commenting here, therefore, my visits to the Corvette Forum and several others.

 

 

I am on an unlimited internet package for the first time ever and I plan to get my money's worth.

I like reading your threads on the CFOT! Keep 'em coming!

 

Enjoy the cruise, we'll be on the Allure Dec. 1st. How's the CL and DL?

He ended up rebuilding the entire latch assembly which took almost two hours.

 

All of this time the door to the hallway was blocked open and the sliding door to the balcony was open and the hot tropical wind was roaring through the room. It was hot in the cabin! Judith was loving it and I was miserable!

 

But he got it fixed and moved on to his next repair assignment.

 

 

For Marie and me that would have probably been the same response. She always thinks the cabin is too cold.

I am interested to hear how your day goes.

 

 

 

 

WOW, something I never knew. I would've been saying a few choice words too, followed by the same call to maintenance. I will check Oasis in November to see if they have them, but I have never seen them on Oasis or Allure. I never look too far behind the curtains. I am just happy that they open and shut. A great way to keep the pirates out though:)

 

I am enjoying the review. Hopefully your wife is not too bruised from her little tumble. The girl you took the picture of has a great smile.

They had them on the Oasis last week.

Hi sent a question earlier and may have missed the response but wanted to know if the divider on the balcony can be opened. We were on fos western in 2012 and have now booked fos eastern in October 2014 and would really like to open the divider as my parents will be next door. Could u find out please?

I'm on the Allure now and I have seen dividers opened on some balcony cabins.

 

But you are asking FOS though.

[mbjboyle]

We have cancelled all three cruises we had scheduled for 2014 and today got confirmation that our 2013 Christmas Cruise is cancelled.

 

This cruise on the Allure is our last planned RCI Cruise!

We had dividers open on the Allure in May.

[Trainman-2]

The design of the doors allows them to be opened.

 

It depends on who you ask if they will open them or not. Some people get them opened and some don't.

 

I haven't been able to get a clear answer.

 

I am still trying to find out for sure what the policy is.

[Trainman-2]

We are back from our historical tour of Falmouth but we are pooped for sure.

 

We saw a lot of neat stuff and a lot of hard core poverty.

 

More later...

Welcome back. Enjoy the AC and a cold drink of some variety.

 

I am curious to hear how the driver worked out and if you felt "safe" during your tour of Falmouth. We lost that sense of security in Jamica a few years ago, but I am curious enough to explore safely in the future. DW not so much.

 

Looking forward to today's update.

I'm also interested in whether you felt safe on your tour with a taxi driver. This is what we usually do in other ports but I had some concerns about doing this in Jamaica.

Happy napping.

 

THANKS for allowing us all to travel along again.:) Enjoying the live from posts as always.

 

Looking forward to your impressions of Falmouth.
