Allure of the Seas Live March 13-27 -- High Tides and Great Vibes

[bobmacliberty]

Damn. I've been busy at work and haven't been checking CC too much lately. I completely missed this review when it was live, and all of your scopes are now gone. I wonder if you could do me a favor. Would you head back down to Florida and do another B2B starting next weekend? I would greatly appreciate it and I promise that I will watch all of your scopes live...even if I'm in the middle of an important discussion with my boss. Thanks in advance.

Andrew, in your honor I'm going to scope our embarkation on Freedom Sunday. We anticipate arriving at noon and having Rahul escort us onto the ship. Should be fun. @Silvermcs

[WeBCruisin]

Silvermcs - trying to follow u on periscope but can't figure out which is you? - what am I missing? Would it be under another name?

No problems. If I leave now I should be able to make Allure by 2pm. I might be in a broom closet but that's OK by me.

Safe travels and I will be watching for you. Be prepared to feel like a goof ball carrying your phone around, but it fades as the week goes on. At the end of two weeks I was ready to take it about anywhere.

For those that have asked my next cruise it will be on Harmony of the Seas, on November 12th, 2016. If you are looking forward to another cruise experience with me, you'd better start packing your imaginary bags in early November. It will be her first full Caribbean sailing when she arrives in Florida so there will be lots new features to see. Hopefully you will join us again.

 

I am already starting to day dream about that cruise. Lisa has the only white car in our house and I have already started to toy with the idea of painting the lower portion of her car and adding a few graphics, in honour of the Oasis Class. I'm not sure she'll like the idea, but I bet it will grow on her. [emoji12]

 

 

 

 

Thanks for cruising and following us. I will pick you up in November, if I don't help you escape to the Mediterranean before that.

Andrew--Just catching up...AGAIN! I dropped off before your recap and final photos--was on a week long college visit trip through the Midwest with Nicole...loads of fun, but certainly not as relaxing as a cruise vacation :)

 

Looks like Lisa and I may have the same white vehicle--I like what you've done here.....:D

I meant to ask a question earlier about your periscoping experience...if you had to block a user during a live scope, did it permanently block them from from future scopes? Or did you have to do it each time?

 

I just recently installed the app, and don't have much experience with it...it seemed like lots of viewers were joining who did not pick up your user id from CC, hence the "where are you?" "What ship are you on?" Comments.....

Once you block a viewer, they can't access your scopes. Blocked for good (at least from my experience)

They are blocked, until you unblock them.

 

TomnCheryl from CC got blocked by accident when I went to block someone else. They could watch my scopes but were blocked from posting. When I blocked someone during a live periscope and they tried to post another comment what you would see is "user blocked". Their comment would not show up.

 

I had to unblock Tom and then he had to refollow me to be able to comment. Periscope also might not have notified him of my next scoping. Perhaps, Tom will come back and post his experience.

Thanks, Andrew. I commend your efforts with the scoping. It appeared you were able quickly block those users who posted "inappropriate" and "unrelated" comments...

 

I think I will leave the scoping to you on Harmony 😊 perhaps a "live" scope down the Ultimate Abyss would be in order? I will definitely be watching 😎

2016 Lexus RX, great choice. I need to adjust the custom paint scheme to Allure of the Seas, from Harmoy. I added a new cruise today on Allure for August 28th. I plan on being Live. Harmony is still on the books. I would not miss it for the world. :D

 

As for your trip with Nicole, it sounds like a wonderful week.

I honestly can't recall if I was getting notifications or not following my being inadvertently blocked. If I had to guess, I'd say I was not (but that's just because it seems logical, not that it's the way Periscope works).

I recognized that vehicle immediately 😂 if you tell me she has the Pearl Metallic, we are truly kindred spirits ....

 

 

And, as far as our road trip....Indeed it was a wonderful week. Be careful, because the time will pass more quickly than you could ever imagine...I enjoyed watching all your interactions with Owen. Particularly the scopes and commentary about his flow rider experiences. I watched Nicole conquer similar fears, and I have a few photos of her smiling on that first successful boogie board experience. 😊 seems like yesterday that we took her on her first cruise through the Panama Canal. She was 7. Now we're looking at colleges 😳 many more cruises and happy memories in between.

 

I shall look forward to August now.... 😊

It is Eminent White Pearl, which is most likely the same. You better bust out your copy of Anne of Green Gables on iPad, as you and Lisa might just be "kindred spirits".

 

It is amazing how the time flies. We really see it now with Owen, I can only imagine what will happen in the next ten years.

 

As for August, I might owe you a few more glasses of vino. If you take your wine in pill form, I could just mail you a few boxes of raisins. Check our Harmony Roll Call, I have left you a message there.

It works for a night but I'm not sure it is the best for long stays. There is a new Margaritaville Resort with a flowrider south of the airport but I didn't even suggest it.

 

Because???

 

Just kidding. Not sure if you'll remember me, Andrew, but I'm the one you taught to Periscope when we were on Allure last November right after the TA back to FLL. Fellow Flowrider addict, and as you probably know, we stayed at Margaritaville pre-cruise. It had only been open for 3 weeks and wasn't fully functional, but we fell in love with it.

 

I'm a CPA and I've been buried, so I had no idea about your live review. Unfortunate for me. I'm back on page 6, but I'm hooked. And I'm really thinking we need to figure out a way to cruise together sometime.

I think you might have me confused with the another Andrew from Toronto, who is also a flow riding addict. I've never met him but he is Canadian and has a wonderful name, so he must be a wonderful guy. I can see why you might think I am him, but no worries though.:)

 

Keep reading though, as you are in the flow rider brotherhood. Never hurts to cruise with another rider so when you are done the review maybe you will still want to sail with us one day. The offer is always open.

 

I feel for you and the CPAs at this time of year. You are either the bringers of pain or the bringers of asking it rain.

Nope, it's you. I just checked my Periscope. You used an account under Lisa's name to communicate with me when I was learning to scope. Or are you pulling my leg anyway?

 

I remember scoping the flowrider and you gave me tips on scoping and also gave me some props on my riding. I'm the (nearly 50) old lady on flowrider with the husband with the long curly hair. We had some really good kids on that sailing. I scoped the BOB. Awww, if you don't remember, it's all good. It's been months anyway. I'm ready for 4/15 so I can get back to normal life.

No I'm not joking but I do remember you now. Please forgive my apology. You are with the Dude and you went on Allure last fall with your family. I totally have and remember it all now. I loved your Vegas scopes with the Chinese New Year Gardens at the Bellagio, the ones with your sister singing at the piano bar, and most importantly the ones from the wave on Allure.

 

Yah, so now my head is back on line, we should ride together some day. I'm totally up for it. You should have seen the scopes, especially the riding ones.:)

You got it! And I know you're not pulling my leg now, because you remembered his name Dude without me bringing it up (along with all that other stuff). That's my cousin at the piano bar in West Palm, and watch out, because she will be with me in Vegas for Supercross in a few weeks. I'll shoot some scopes if I can remember.

 

I sure am sad I missed your periscopes. :( I'll have to keep a better eye out. We have Liberty this October, but nothing yet for 2017 because I'll be 50 and Dude doesn't want me planning anything bc he's going to try to surprise me with something. But I'll check your flowrider plans and drop a few hints that direction.

 

Sorry to blow up your post-review thread with a bunch of personal back-and-forth, but I don't know another way to reach you.

 

Cheers! (I'm up to page 16 now and fully immersed)

Hello,

 

Yes you were right about the location on the other post;). I won't be posting anything else on that particular topic though.

I really enjoyed your review you put on here. Sadly I missed your video's. I would have liked to have seen some of them. It looks like you really know how to get the most out of your vacations.

 

On a side note you should give the flowrider at adventure bay another try. They have opened it up to stand up and since you have been there before should be able to attend and ride without the lesson stipulations. Maybe put a call in first or ask Russ about it. It is still really hot in there but he wave is pretty good. I would say they have the bugs out of it now. They only ask you to be mindful of the boogie boarders and not ride too long. They have a pretty good group down there from what I have seen. I am probably going to make a few more trips down when it gets cold out again.

 

Hope all else is well. Talk to you later
