I am curious to how long RCI has been offering it.

The screen capture below is for our 11 night Southern Caribbean Cruise on the Serenade on Dec 4th.

Fortunately for us we also enjoy the Windjammer and sometimes the MDR so we can afford not to pay our all of this money to eat in a specialty restaurant every night.

We were 10 days without power and just got our AT&T Landline back a few hours ago.

One of our favorite fish camps had 2' of water from the storm surge along the St John's River. They are busy cleaning up and hope to reopen next week.

We were lucky. The wind speed in our area never went above 100 mph. Lots of branches and palm fronds down but no damage or flooding for us.

We Get What We Pay For!

What New Pier?

Contact the Dining Room Manager when you board and talk with him about your special diet needs. They will accommodate you if they can!

After experiencing the inedible buffet on the Radiance last month, the last place I want to be at midnight is at the Windjammer.

We love the inedible buffets in the Windjammer and prefer them to the inedible food in the MDR.

There is plenty of good info out there for those of us who know where to look for it.

We live in Flagler County, just north of Volusia County and Daytona Beach on the East Coast.

Here is the Flagler County flood zone and evacuation map. I have added an arrow to the approximate location of our house.

We plan to shelter in place as there is no danger of being flooded out.

We live in the country so the first heavy clouds and rain will shut down our satellite TV and Internet. We expect this.

The loss of electricity is our main worry. We will sit with our fingers crossed and hope it doesn't happen.

I would have thought they would wait until the full extent of the damage has been assessed by both them and local authorities before making any decision.

I Agree!

They will take the time needed to make the best decisions.

We are suffering from information overload on Irma. but there is one little tidbit that I always keep track of:

Probability of 39 mph winds in Flagler (My) County: 5 - 10 percent

Does Florida have laws related to Gouging to cover that situation? . If they don't they should!:rolleyes:

We do but they are poorly written and often cause problems.

The Harmony is RCI's best ship for families and kids.

RCI can't make everyone happy all of the time!

But after a bit of searching I am now almost an expert.

It sounds really interesting although there are mixed reviews.

I have never heard of it!

I'll bet it's the chemtrails fault.

That has gotta be it!

Thanks a Bunch for the Link!

The ship will run out of food for the passengers and crew On the last scheduled day of the cruise.

Whenever we cruise we park out car, full of gas and ready to head home, at the port.

If I were on the Liberty, I would want to be unloaded where my car is parked.

My wife and I are both handicapped and she uses a Service Dog but we constantly see people who are worse off than we are so we don't complain.

and yes even though RCI has billions, of course they're greedy for more.

Corporations exist to make money for the people who invest in them.

This is not greed!

It is the way things work in a free market society.

We will never be able to afford a suite or have to worry about the "perks" that go with the "suite experience."

For those of us lucky enough to live in the USA it is important to remember that the majority of the world does not have what we take for granted.

We are old & tired and leave the excursions to the younger crowd.

But we really enjoyed taking our rollators ashore at Falmouth.

We stayed inside the port area but were able to roll around at our leisure, resting when we needed to, looked at things, and watched the people.

On many occasions we would hire a taxi for a tour of the island and its attractions.

We always looked forward to the port call in Falmouth!

The crowds of native Jamaicans push many people out of their "comfort zones."

I call it "fear of the unknown."

I have long been under the impression that RCI made most of the investment in developing to port of Falmouth.

Another Great "Live Report' Radio!

Well Done Again!

Thanks for taking us along with you.
