mlbcruiser Posted January 19, 2022 #601 Share Posted January 19, 2022 Thanks for the replies about the meet and greet situation. One thing that can be done is roll callers can organize a time and place to meet without the blessings of the cruiseline. We’ve participated in these a number of times. Basically they are non-cruiseline sponsored meet ups at a chosen time once most oeople are on board on sail away day. Usually in the vicinity of one of the outdoor bars. Something is chosen to wear to the meet up to serve as a designator so those in the group can spot each other. Not sure if that would work so great in this Covid climate. It could be difficult to chat with various people that show up if Omicron is still rampant due to the need to socially distance. It’s great to meet a few friendly faces right from the start of the cruise, too, instead of having to wait for the official Meet & Mingle . So often people don’t tend to mingle much at the M&Ms anymore anyway. They head out immediately after the cruise line host talks for a while and has the raffle, etc. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mlbcruiser Posted January 20, 2022 #603 Share Posted January 20, 2022 Hoping someone who was on the January 8 sailing is still reading this thread and can answer a question for me: Which ports did you actually get to stop and disembark at during the cruise? I thought one of you posted St. Maarten and Nassau (which we know was not on the original itinerary at all). Someone said that there were also 3 stops at Coco Cay, just for crew quarantine exchanges. My brother has a friend who took his family on the Allure supposedly last week and said they only stopped at one port. I am guessing that maybe my brother misunderstood which sailing the friend was actually on. Hoping one of you can fill us in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St. Thomas and St. Kitts would not allow docking due to Covid. St. Maarten was an originally scheduled port although we went there a day early. Nassau replaced the DR a couple months ago. We were supposed to visit Coco Cay in place of St. Thomas but high winds and surf did not allow us to get off the ship. There were 3 stops total there to exchange crew.

Buckeye_Tom Posted January 21, 2022 #605 Share Posted January 21, 2022 (edited) Wondering if anyone from the current Jan 16th Allure cruise is following…. How did the port stops go so far on that trip? We are still a “go” for the Jan 21st Allure trip… Edited January 21, 2022 by Buckeye_Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a 6 day cruise unlike the 8 day we will be on in a few days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mlbcruiser Posted January 21, 2022 #611 Share Posted January 21, 2022 (edited) It seems like the itineraries along the Mexican Caribbean coast down to Aruba, etc., are not having port issues. However, the rest of the Caribbean is a different matter. Of course, that could change at any time.
