WE just got off the Allure last Sunday . There were no suite boarding line  and no normal  suite waiting area in north end of terminal . We had 100pm boarding    parked and walked in terminal at 1220 .no waiting and walked on ship ten minutes later after 3 document checked and health screenings

Do you know if they are doing this for all suites?  I am in a JS on Allure 10/31 and from what I read I still get priority embarkation.

I drink the ship's water on the ship but take bottled water with me ashore. I think refillable ones can be used but the sealed water bottles have no security concerns and don't need to be brought back empty.

We drink ship water too.  We take a camel back for shore excursions and fill it up with ice cold water on ship.  Works great!

We will be with you on the October 31st cruise. I received an email last night stating that the Allure will not depart Port Canaveral until 7:00 p.m. due to protocols in place.

Also on on 10/31

Were getting there. All US States opening up now, no Masks/Distance, soon will be Transportation then my Cruises! My predictions been on, actually sooner by couple weeks

I know the federal mandate for planes, trains, etc is set to expire in September 13.  I hope it does not get extended again.  If it does, that would suck profusely.

WELCOME!!  Freedom is very nice. 

A bar, any bar.  Then find another bar with different drinks, any bar will do as long as it's not the same as the first.

So this might be a dumb question, but if I am on the 10/31 sailing and the CSO order is set to expire and they DON'T extend it, will buffets and the 6 feet apart rule still be applied?  Sorry if it's a dumb question, I'm brain dead after finals this week.

I have seen some very good pricing for flights that I need. I guess some are willing to hedge their bets and lock in the pricing. I, however, have not pulled the trigger.

Delta has waived all change fees and I have a feeling some of the others will follow suit.

Not sure why anyone would book airfare right now not knowing which ships or intineraires are actually sailing.

Your ship may not even be sailing the departure from the port you think.

Because I can 🙂  And Delta rocks.  I have already talked to them and even if the cruises get changed around, they still work with you.

It will be interesting to see just how different it will all be.  Who knows, it might not be that much different by that point.  HOPEFULLY, they will still do the self disembarking and we can get off the ship at a reasonable early hour.  I haven't booked my flights yet but wanting to do that this week or next.  I could do a slightly later flight but I really wanted to get home at a decent hour.  Meh, we'll see what the new processes are like and if we need to change flights, we can.

Any reason why you aren't driving from the Alanta area to MCO? Google maps has it as a 7 hr drive, and with the airport wait times, it can't be that much more of a time savings, especially for what flights are costing.

Because we aren't in Atlanta.  We are in Bham, AL and it's almost 9 hours.  We have done the drive to Port Canaveral and my husband said never again.  Flights out of Bham to MCO are insane compared to driving to ATL and parking for a week. Literally almost $300 more per person on Delta and we don't fly anything other than Delta.

I tried to search but I couldn't weed through all the mess.  We are flying from ATL to MCO Oct 30, 2021 and returning home Nov 7.  There are a LOT of flights home but I wanted to see if the 1:15pm return flight would be feasible.  We would have to have a transportation company or Uber to pick us up at port and take us to the airport and we would have to check a bag.  Thoughts?

On Allure for 10/31 cruise.  I have lost all hope it will sail.  If it does, we will be on it.

We are on the Allure for October 31st. I give us a 50/50 that this cruise will take place.

I am on this cruise too and I feel 50/50 is a good guesstimate.  I hope it sails though.

I'm going to Dominican Republic at the end of April.  Cost for AI in a super nice resort in total is costing about the same as a cruise.  Much less stuff to do and not the same.  I'll take it though.

Hey, at least you people don't live here in Alabama.  We rank the WORST in terms of vaccine distribution.  Ugh.

May 2018.  I was on the Carnival Dream that flooded at sea.

We're on LIB 4-11 and 4-18.  I have no faith left

Same.  I have a back up plan for vacation for end of April.  I wish Royal would cancel already so I can book it and move my plane tix over.

Still have April 4, 2021 booked on Liberty. Got to have hope. 

I am on that cruise too.  Not holding my breath.

Dang, I sail a couple of weeks after that.  Oh well, at least they are nice enough to extend a little longer.

Mine was for an Oct 31, 2021 Allure from Port Canaveral.

I got the email last night about it.  I am ok with the change.

They’re starting... just got an email from RCL that the itinerary for our October 2021 Allure Eastern has been changed. St. John’s is out and St Martin is in.  I expect to get a lot more emails like this as thy try to figure out where they can actually sail in 2021.🙃

Which sailing? I am on 10/31/21 and it is supposed to go to St. John's.  

It was reported on the Today show this morning that the test cruises would not even start until 2021.  Considering there is only 2 1/2 weeks until December, I'm not confident the test cruises will start this year at all.  Feeling pessimistic about April 2021 cruise 😞
