We have our new cards and these in case we wish to get off the ship. We’re good. Andrew, I hope you and Lisa had a wonderful anniversary. We’re doing a 3/4 B2B in April on Allure. It won’t be our first B2B, but it will be our first on Royal. I was surprised to see that you already had your consecutive cruiser materials. Is that part of their normal procedure for B2B cruisers? Any other information you can provide about turnaround day would also be much appreciated. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare A&L_Ont Posted July 25, 2023 Author #303 Share Posted July 25, 2023 Port of Nassau webcam has us second coming in, and marine traffic confirms it. I use The Weather Network Miami for radar for Nassau. Nassau doesn’t have one I can find easily. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have done a B2B on Allure before and the procedure was similar but on the day of, but different as the day before they had a meeting to explain the process. The letter we received the other day in our cabin was clear enough on the process. To clarify we received our new cabin card and in transit card once at the B2B meeting point. From meeting to being back on the ship it took just under an hour for the 8 of us. We left the ship , buzzed off with the old cards, went down to the facial recognition, it scanned us with an agent nearby for just in case purposes, we waited on the other 6 and when completed we all went back on board. There was no consecutive cruiser lunch offered on Freedom but there was only 8 of us. our other 2 on Oasis Class ships had them offered but there were 20+ guests doing it back then. Hope this helps out some. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Ukigirl Posted July 25, 2023 #308 Share Posted July 25, 2023 Happy to be joining the party, and Happy Anniversary to both of you! Question about this cruise, since most people are doing 3 or 4 days, are you finding that it’s more of a young, party party party type cruise? We’ve never done one shorter than six days but I’m kind of liking a 7 day back to back one. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t want to put final thoughts together yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare A&L_Ont Posted July 25, 2023 Author #311 Share Posted July 25, 2023 (edited) Back from advanced riding. Just two of us. My legs feels the burn. I have to say that the way is not as good as other ships because it is the new inflatable wave, not a trap like mat with spring tension. This old dog is coming up with some new tricks to hang on.

Rare A&L_Ont Posted July 25, 2023 Author #312 Share Posted July 25, 2023 Meanwhile at the Solarium Pool, Lisa held down the fort to keep everyone at bay. When I left she and the lifeguard were the only ones and when I returned she and the lifeguard were the only people here. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare A&L_Ont Posted July 25, 2023 Author #313 Share Posted July 25, 2023 Yesterday this was awaiting our return to our cabin. I’d like to thank our UsualTa for the nice surprise. Lisa or I might have taken a small bite prior to photo time. 22 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare A&L_Ont Posted July 25, 2023 Author #315 Share Posted July 25, 2023 A couple arrival photos. Looks like the Colonial Hilton is undergoing some work. She has been closed for a little while, but was open when cruising started up out of Nassau. There have been Bahamian news articles saying it will be reopened but has undergone some issues. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare A&L_Ont Posted July 25, 2023 Author #316 Share Posted July 25, 2023 This behemoth was in port too. She was arriving when we sailed out Sunday. Clearly a ship only a mother could love. 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisingpeople Posted July 25, 2023 #317 Share Posted July 25, 2023 Andrew, Do you have any idea what the capacity percentage of your sailing is ?? After your comment about Lisa's solarium photo, it seemed like the ship isn't that full. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After your comment about Lisa's solarium photo, it seemed like the ship isn't that full. It is a port day but it was full on embarkation day. I’d say it’s at full capacity if not more. I might ask if I see the right person. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
