I should have not taken that upgrade, instead of a view of the water, I hade a view of the life boat. Oh well, bigger cabin, smaller balcony. .....next cruise.....

We were on Regal Princess, in St Martin, on Thursday the 12th. She left an Hr ahead of us, but when we left, we passed her, she was turned around and headed back the opposite way, back to the dock.

We had L115 on the Royal. It had 100% unobstructed view.

 

yeah i figured the "obstruction" was the overhang of the upper deck

Can anyone tell me about E401? Just got "upgraded" from L115, which is the very forward cabin on the top, starboard side of Regal, to E401, from the look of it, is at the aft end of the 3rd life boat on the starboard side, above Facets and Meridian Bay on the Promenade. Thanks everyone in advance.

Thanks everyone, good idea Frisco, I can't seem to find the Oasis itenerary for the cruise it takes the previous week, it shows leaving PT Everglades the 7th of Nov. But no cruise before that

I did a search and found the Pt Everglades ship schedule. We are leaving on Regal on the 8th of November, the Oasis is leaving Port Everglades on the 7th.

Can you get to the end of that area on the south side of Port Everglades, Ocean Dr. I believe it is? If memory serves me there is a Coast Guard station right there. Is that Beach public? or is the view better from the North side of the port?

we tried the "fly in the day of the cruise" once, never again, too streesful, we always fly in a few days before

by chance, is there anyone you can talk to in L115 Obstructed Balcony cabin? and maybe some pictures? We have it in a year and just wondering what is obstructed about it.

I hope this is the right area for this post.

So, we have been going to Florida for the last 10 yrs, done Key West, Fantasy Fest, South Beach, Orlando, Richard Petty, Daytona, Kennedy Space Center, Ocala, Ft Lauderdale, etc, But I have never seen a real alligator yet.

Not even when I returned a rental car to the Port Everglades Budget, and there was a sign " Caution, Alligator Lives in Canal" I watched for it, didn't see it. Even when we drove out to the middle of nowhere on hiway 41 for a few hrs and sat by that canal.

So now its time for a Everglades tour, which is the best one for a airboat ride and a good one to see all the Everglades critters?

Was wondering on which day of cruise they offer the laundry bag special. Thanks.

I believe it was Wednesday

Did the new CD have Quest? On my first cruise on the Voyager they didn't have it, and when I inquired I was told it's up to the CD to have one or not.

 

I'm hoping there was one on your sailing....we embark in 13 days!!!

Quest? not sure what that is.

What do you mean by you like the way they do pictures now? What's different?

New to me at least. Picture kiosk, where you put your sea pass card in and it brings them all up, and tells you where they are, instead of searching through walls of photos.

Hi everyone, Just off The Allure and got answers to any questions.

I have all the Compass's and most of the dinner menus. We were supposed to do Eastern but Hurricane Gonzalo changed that.

We had Aft Balcony 11728, right next to the open public deck, I booked the room with that in mind, there was hardly anyone ever on it, and its a great place to watch the Aqua Shows.

We missed Chicago, but saw Tony Tillman, which was great and the two comedians, I forget their names right now.

Ice Games was really good. Jerome was the cruise director and Katie from Freedom was there.

Our steward Allen Clair, he was awesome, and we had Ricco and Alex in the Adagio for My Time dining, they were great.

Captain Johnny of course is awesome, never met him in person though.

The Food was great, Prime Rib and Lobster was on Thursday, I think they changed the second formal night due to the itinerary change.

We didn't do specialty eating, but Rita's Cantina is great, Park Café has awesome sandwiches, the chocolate chip cookies are great.

Embarkation was amazingly fast, disembarking of course always sucks.

I like the was they do pictures now.

They did a really good job on the Boardwalk actually making you feel your on a Boardwalk, same with Central park.

But, of course there are always thinks you see that you don't like.

To me, I think the ship is too big, seems like at times the crew is overwhelmed, forgotten and wrong orders in the dining room, at break fast and lunch at least.

To me, in some places there is no ship feel, in Central Park, is so calm you forget your on a ship. not a bad thing though.

reservation idea is good, but in the dining room at dinner, reservations or not, your still waiting so not really sure why they do that.

And my biggest (out of a small list of things) They give you free hot dogs on the Boardwalk, but charge you 2.50 for 5 cents worth of popcorn? C'mon

But regardless of the small things, Allure is a great ship, and has amazing features, and they are building 5 more the same size, I guess the Allure size ships are not for me.

If any one wants pics or has questions I will post or answer them when we get home

Hi Everyone.

Just off the Allure, and of course had to book our next cruise, going back to Princess.

I think the Allure is a great ship, just way to big.

It seemed the crew was overwhelmed and sometimes in places you could forget your on a ship.

Who can tell me about Regal? We booked balcony L115, forward balcony, I looked on Beyond Ships, but they had no pictures of it, and of course google just has stock photos.

WOOT, hurry up November 8th

Hopefully you will see this next week, Thanks for taking our picture with the Seahawks flag, steve and carly, aft balcony on the Allure. here are some pictures of the Freedom leaving.

carlys email if you got it wrong

see you there we are in 11728

Okay, can I bring up the reverse topic? Our first cruise was in January of 2006. We were supposed to go to Costa Maya and Cozumel. Because of the damage caused by Wilma (she was a problem, wasn't she?) we were unable to go to Costa Maya and went to Progreso instead. We even had to tender in Cozumel because of Wilma's wrath. Since that time, we have never gotten to Costa Maya...until this coming November when Navigator of the Seas is making a rare stop there instead of Belize.

 

Pete

You didn't miss anything in Costa Maya, there wasn't anything there. We stopped there on our Norwegian cruise.

So, whats the one place you got to visit as a fluke, that you haven't made it back to?

Ours? Puerto Rico, or Tortola.

In 2005 we had a Western cruise planned, Princess Cays, Jamaica, Grand Cayman and Cozumel) but because of Wilma, we left the day before it hit Ft Lauderdale, we went down to Puerto Rico, St Thomas and Tortola.

Would love to go see Puerto Rico again, we got there at 5 and stayed till 12, but didn't really get to see anything, roamed around the city a bit and went to Sr Frogs.

Tortola was a beautiful place, my favorite picture is the Star Princess sitting in the Georgetown pier from the top of the hill.

We rented a car and cruised around to the other side of the island, Frenchman's Cay is a really neat place,

What cruises go there regularly?

Relaxing, without a care for a week, eating the things that would normally cost a ton of money, Steak and lobster, yes please, seconds??? OH YEAH, checking out the hidden places.....Lime and the coconut guy in Belize, best drink I ever had. going to the farside of a island where none of the other people go, Tortola, and Frenchmans Cay, what a awesome place. too many other things

probably on of our best cruises was 2005 when Wilma happened. We ended up going on a totally different itinerary, being one of our first cruises, I am glad we were redirected actually.

We went to Puerto Rico which I would love to go back to, and Tortola, which is probably one of my favorite places I have been.

49 days woo hoo yay

Camo caps, forget about rum runners, they are finding those these days

camo caps have the little lower part on them still so you can put rum in a coke bottle or white tequila in a water bottle and it will look like it hasn't been opened

Probably my favorite cruise pics. Star Princess in Tortola

what hotel was that?

Great pictures, what kind of camera do you have? We are going on Allure to Nassau, St Thomas and St Maarten in October, where did you take that picture of the harbor? Is Bernards tour on St Maarten the best, how was the guide?
