Cel_cruise Posted February 17, 2019 #452 Share Posted February 17, 2019 Thanks for your review! The traffic accident shown is my biggest fear for my upcoming cruise - hopefully nothing that devastating will happen again any time soon! (I will be driving from Disney to MIA and shuttling to POM the morning of our cruise...going to leave Disney as early as we can - 6ish if I can pull it off - and hope for the best!)Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have enjoyed following along, and have made some notes for our upcoming Symphony cruise. I will be looking for your live from Allure, as we disembark from Symphony the day before you board Allure, and post cruise depression will be setting in! Thanks for following along! Oh you’re in for a treat sailing on Symphony. Hopefully I’ll be able to help your post cruise depression when I board Allure. 😀 8 hours ago, JamesEM said: Thanks for taking the time to post a great review.

But if you go via alligator alley you are kinda committed unless it’s caught soon enough. Have a wonderful cruise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joand452 Posted February 17, 2019 #455 Share Posted February 17, 2019 Thanks for taking us along on your cruise! It was a very nice tribute to Trainman. Hope to sail Harmony or Symphony in 2020!

Rare JessyCruises Posted February 17, 2019 #456 Share Posted February 17, 2019 Thank you again for the great live review! I did not have the pleasure of ever knowing Trainman, but he sounds like he was one in a million. Thanks for making the next 2 weeks pass a little bit faster.

So true on so many ships, not enough time and money. I’d cruise once a month if I could.

MrFunInTheSun Posted February 17, 2019 Author #461 Share Posted February 17, 2019 Oh the post cruise blues. To help with that I’ve now officially checked in my cruise on Lady Allure in 77 days. Somehow I’m Star Class??? Maybe we all are as it’s an empty ship sailing from Miami to Ft Lauderdale to pick us up? That day we also have a very late sail away at 8pm. Now to go book our shows and the Ultimate Dining Package. 😀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruisercl Posted February 18, 2019 #464 Share Posted February 18, 2019 (edited) Hello Mr., (poster from the NCL board here)! I read your fantastic review. It is a heart warming tribute to a good friend. 😊 This is very relevant to me because I will be taking my first Oasis class cruise this April; the Oasis TA. I now will go and find your other reviews. Really looking forward to the cruise more than ever! You are a gentleman and a (cruise) scholar in your willingness to share all of these cruises with others. You are also a good writer...…. Enjoy your next cruise, as I know you will. Many of us wish we could live your life and cruise frequently. My thanks!

Buffett fan Posted February 18, 2019 #465 Share Posted February 18, 2019 (edited) Closing another wonderful review - thank you for all of your time, information and humor! And even more meaningful, the beautiful tribute to Jim/Trainman. He would be so flattered.... I will be sailing on Lady O when you are on Lady A - but I can guarantee that I will read every post as soon as I get back home! Will you post a link to your new review here?

You are in for a treat sailing on Oasis of the Seas. These ships are amazing. I've got two Oasis "Live" reports to help keep you busy if you get bored. 🙂 I'll post the link to the new "Live" with Allure on this thread to find it easier once that cruise day has arrived. Hope to having you sailing along virtually with me then. 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for following along, glad you survived the adventure. 🙂 I was really upset I wasn't able to locate bread pudding to have some on the ship in his honor though, but at least I got the trainman breakfast sandwich. I'll surely be posting the link here to my "Live" Allure here once that wonderful day is here! 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were even offered for the road of our choice when we left. Well worth doing. We were going to do it the second sea day. We didn't make it, not really sure why we missed it, but at all intentions of going again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maryjaden Posted February 19, 2019 #473 Share Posted February 19, 2019 I just spent the last hour and a half reading through your review. It was great, thank you for doing this.

tlaffin Posted February 19, 2019 #474 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Thank you so much for the amazing review and pictures! What a wonderful tribute to your friend. I appreciate you taking the time to share your trip with us and providing such great information. Looking forward to my own Symphony experiencing in about 46 days. Thank you again!

Paulette3028 Posted February 19, 2019 #475 Share Posted February 19, 2019 DH and I were on this sailing....and all the friends we sailed with and us had a great time. Whatever disappointing things happened (shows that had to be cancelled due to weather or technical difficulties) did not dampen the overall fun and enjoyment. The Solarium on Symphony is much improved over Harmony, from my POV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
