colesc15 posted a topic in Royal Caribbean International,
Boarding Allure today and figured I would do a live report for anyone who wants to follow along in these crazy times! Thankfully allure wasn't one that got canceled, as we were already in Florida when they announced the others.

Before leaving on this sailing, I really appreciated the information others had posted about holiday cruises and recent experiences onboard Silhouette. Hopefully I can also help others who have questions.
The ship is decorated beautifully decorated for the holidays; Celebrity always does a great job with this.

Coral posted a topic in Princess Cruises,
I booked the Grand Princess 16 days before sailing. No thought went into this except for I already had the time away from work, it was longer than 7 nights and flying West as opposed to East is easier for me time frame wise. I flew in the day of which I have only done on my very first cruise. I regret it but it all turned out.

OrcaGirl posted a topic in Norwegian Cruise Line,
I’ll try to post 1-2 times each day with what we’re up to, though my particular focus will usually be cocktails, food, entertainment and excursion adventures. (I’ll likely also be posting lots of photos over on Instagram Stories; look for erin_braincandy if you just want all the photos and none of the chatter.)
A few background notes before we head over to the pier:
This is our fourth time sailing Norwegian, our first time cruising to the Mexican Riviera, and probably our eleventh or twelfth cruise together. My husband and I are both double-vaxxed with AstraZeneca. We got our required-to-fly-to-the-US COVID antigen tests done on Friday at a nearby drive-thru site, with the results back within 40 minutes. (FYI, antigen testing for the purposes of travel is not cheap in British Columbia, especially compared to Alberta and Ontario.) We sailed on the Encore in October out of Seattle to Alaska, and loved the ship and the experience. We felt that the COVID protocols in place made us feel as safe as we could reasonably expect to be when travelling during a pandemic. We were on the last sailing of the Norwegian Epic in March 2020 when cruising was suspended – we weren’t allowed to dock in San Juan for disembarkation and spent an extra 2.5 days at sea heading to Orlando instead. So going on two cruises in just under three months feels like making up for lost time. (I wanted to make a ‘Long time, no sea’ t-shirt but got lazy…)
We were supposed to have a relaxing flight from YVR to Orange Country airport yesterday, but our plane had a ‘systems failure’ and after circling over the Catalina Islands for 30 min we were diverted to LAX for an emergency landing. It was nerve-wracking but we landed safely. But I am going to be making good use of the drink package after all of that.

LIVE from Spectrum of the Seas (Hong Kong) - December 12
agf1583 posted a topic in Royal Caribbean International,
This will be our 2nd "cruise to nowhere" vacation this year, having done a similar trip on the Genting Dream in October. As you may be aware, travel into and out of Hong Kong is still quite difficult with our "zero COVID" strategy, so hotel staycations and these cruises have become very popular with both the local and expat populations.

This was truly a last minute cruise for me as I still had a week of vacation time to burn before the end of the year and refuse to spend it doing all of the things that I really should be doing at home. Who wants to organize the garage or pick the dead weeds out of the landscaping when you can go on a cruise!?

serious sealeggs posted a topic in Royal Caribbean International,
This is our first cruise since the restart of sailing. We are Diamond Plus staying in a Jr Suite. We were awarded Royal Up 2 days before departure, nice surprise. Embarkation was smooth and quick. We were onboard and straight to our stateroom in 20 minutes. Our boarding time was a 2pm. The ship is currently sailing at 75% capacity. Not too crowded anywhere EXCEPT the Diamond Lounge. It’s been a horrible disappointment. Too crowded to find a seat anywhere and long lines just to speak to the Diamond Concierge for assistance. By the time we were able to speak to him all of the Aqua shows were completely sold out so we’ve been waitlisted. Same with some specialty dining due to limited capacity seating. We have eaten at Cafe 150 and Wonderland so far. But overall we are loving our cruise and delighted that everything is mostly back to normal! I’ll try to post updates throughout the week!
Cheers!

This trip is an early celebration for my big 5-0 this month. My husband, daughter, and her boyfriend are helping me celebrate this week.
We flew out of Seattle on a red-eye Thursday night and landed in Fort Lauderdale early Friday AM.
We're currently staying at the Crowne Plaza near the port. Early check-in wasn't available, but they let us hang out at the pool and stashed our bags. Then the unthinkable happened (if you happen to be a twenty-something year old). Daughters boyfriend jumped in pool with phone in pocket. And because phone already had prior drop damage, phone stopped working. So, 3 Ubers later, a trip to T-Mobile, and a trip to the local Apple store, crisis averted. Thank goodness he had insured the phone..

It is noon and I will wait about 45 more minutes and then get a cab to the port. They said 2:00 but you know they will do testing and we leave from pier 25 so there will be space to sit while waiting.
I arrived here yesterday afternoon and got a cab from the airport......21.00. I ate dinner at a place called The Royal Pig........they have a large menu and I sat outside and it was probably 77 outside. (or so).....I decided on Fish and Chips and OMG......4 BIG fillets and I could not eat them all. They were very good and I decided to try a dark beer......the bartender let me have a taste first. It was a surprise......I normally NEVER like dark....porters. This had a hint of coffee and coconut in it and I REALLY liked it! It was not bitter or hoppy........really a nice flavor.
This morning I had a breakfast at a long time restaurant here on Las Olas called Bonn Crepe........it was excellent and sat outside here as well. I highly recommend this place.
