The allure of shoulder season pricing is strong, but there is a reason for it….
Count me as one who would love that weather on a cruise.

It's only worth it if the price is close to the price of internet AND you take advantage of everything that the Key offers.
Otherwise it's just expensive internet.- 1

"Are you too pregnant to cruise?"
"Do you feel OK?"
That's what the questionnaire is these days.- 1

Overnight they repositioned us, we are in a shipyard in North Vancouver now, close to the ironworkers memorial bridge.
All the more reason to ensure people stayed on board.

No, if you're overnighting in a port, you normally are allowed to come and go as you wish.
But they really aren't overnighting in a port of call.
Everyone boarding that ship yesterday didn't expect to get off the ship until the first port of call. So not being able to get off while stuck in Vancouver shouldn't be a big deal.- 1

So no one is allowed off the ship until the next port stop. Isn't that kind of...normal?

Reusing Legend as the final Oasis ship would actually be quite symbolic. The last in the class that redefined what cruise ship design is all about.

Should or shouldn't is up to the individual. But you're under no obligation to.

I'd be shocked if there were any true upgrades. Just the typical paint/carpet/furniture stuff.

I had a price drop last week. First price drop I've had on a cruise in 2 years.

Just wondering if anyone has any new information? Supposed to be boarding in an hour! 🧐
Well, you would have been on board for an hour now, finding out that you're staying in Vancouver for the next two days, but have a free drink package until then. Plus the usual refund/FCC stuff.

Sailing at 107% capacity (which means well above that on the meaty Caribbean routes), no need to offer all inclusive packages.

11 is a long one for a charter, so probably not that.
Could also be a room re-inventorying, which can make it disappear for a while. -
Heading past Victoria now. Should get in in plenty of time to get work started.

The 35 foot channel is now open and the stranded ships are lining up to get out. The first one is about to pass through the salvage site.

Legend will be the next Oasis ship name.
The next Icon will be Intrigue or some other name with a "TR" in it.- 1

There are always posts about anything older than Oasis class ships being rust buckets.

It'd be kind of cool to stay on a ship during drydock

There are some interesting photos here to give everyone an idea (Stabilizer, props, etc)
That's a rare photo of stabilizers deployed.

Since you don't pay the service charge(though, keep an eye out, sometimes you get charged anyway), there will be no auto gratuity added.

They were planning on removing 178 containers. I don't know how many they ended up removing, but they haven't removed any for a couple days, so I don't know if they removed all 178 or just removed enough to give space for debris removal.

Masking ended what, nearly 2.5 years ago.

They do it at Port Everglades. But I don't think they do it out of Miami.
Question about internet price for Diamond cruiser
in Royal Caribbean International

Unless you're on a short cruise, it'll always be more expensive on board, even with the discount
