My sailaway swan song-Eurodam and Nieuw Amsterdam

[Vict0riann]

The sound seems to come and go. I did get all the tooting, though - I think.

[KNOT2L82SAIL]

Mine came on (after the tooting was over) then one ship gave three toots and the sound went off again. Anybody have sound right now?

 

I have sound. Thank goodness.

[kazu]

I heard those three toots, and it says sound is on, but I don't hear a think now.

 

NO sound now - but it says sound is on. I did hear all those toots. These speakers are strong on my new laptop - I have them at 1/2 power

[rkacruiser]

Don't forget to refresh. I find sometimes that is useful to return to normality.

[0bnxshs]

can't even begin thinking about getting on this on - sorry

 

Deb's uncle and aunt were just on her. They said it was something everyone should do at least once. They generally go for the smaller ships but were impressed with Allure.

[Vict0riann]

N.A. seems to still have all her ropes on her. Will she be next?

[seadrifter]

I can't imagine ever wanting to sail on Allure or Oasis. NA and Eurodam are big enough for me (although I have sailed on somewhat larger Princess ships:D and had a great time).

[rafinmd]

I actually considered the Oasis/Allure for the middle cruise of my upcoming trip. The first Symphony voyage and the Prinsendam were both musts, but I wanted to try something I wouldn't usually do in between. I eventually decided I could do Oasis/Allure anytime, since they do the same boring trips 52 weeks a year, and the Symphony for a 7-day Caribbean cruise felt a bit like buying a Ferrari to go 2 blocks to the drug store. I decided that was the thing I would least likely do otherwise and forgot about the Allure.

With so many people viewing/listening, we may be stressing the server quite a bit and causing intermittent issues with the audio/video. I've noticed the video seems to freeze from time to time also.

Sounds like condo noises now.

Mine froze a couple of times as she was sailing past the webcam.

[PathfinderEss]

Gosh I had almost forgotten how big that ship is, wow.

[mamaofami]

Sounds like a wise choice, Roy.

I just thought the locking up was my computer Rich

Georgina really liked Iceland Air - they seem to go to a lot of European cities. By chance do they service your area? If they do, they are worth checking out, apparently the premium economy is really decent. I've heard that from others as well.

 

Another vote for Icelandair. Economy Plus puts you in either business class type seats or three abreast regular where the middle seat is left unsold, depending on the type of equipment used. We have had both. There is also good legroom and lounge access. AND believe it or not, no luggage fees. All this for less than Air Canada's regular Economy.

 

If we ever go back to Europe it will be our first choice of airline. Another plus is that you get to connect in Reyjavik instead of one of those monster European airports.

Anything's possible, but unless both video and audio freeze at the same time, it is more likely the incoming stream than your computer.

 

Woof... how awful is that horn???? Yikes! :eek:

[Scrapnana]

Looks like about a million people on Allure and of course the sound works perfectly now.

[PathfinderEss]

There is more people standing on that top deck of Allure then sail on one of Hal ships.:D:D:D

[mamaofami]

That I heard. My camera froze on the Port Everglades web cam so I switched to Ft. Lauderdale and I'm doing better now. NA had better do some good tooting now.

Saga class (their business class) is not that bad a price either. Very very nice. And the Saga lounge in Reykjavik is very nice as well. Totally worth it.

Looks like Carnival Freedom is sailing before NA. Wonder what the hold up is.

[PathfinderEss]

Yeah, how does that work, I want to know. Did we want to hear the Allure-no. Did we want to hear the Eurodam, yes.

[Vict0riann]

Carnival Freedom is smoking now, maybe NA will be last in the parade. Last but not least!

[rkacruiser]

Looks like Carnival Freedom is underway.

 

Poor Freedom. I think she has been ready to sail for some time. We heard her inquire of both Allure of the Seas and the Nieuw Amsterdam as to when they would sail.

[KerriL]

I absolutely agree. I hope she enjoys her time on-board.

 

She will! It's a great experience for young adults to see the world and live and work with such a diverse group of people. She won't be back until March:(
