Not exactly a dream cruise, how about alternating a 6 day western with a 8 day eastern out of Tampa. With all the Mega Ships out of Ft. Lauderdale, it's becoming a pain to fly out of FLL.

Can't we keep this to ourselves?[emoji6]

Nice review, can you tell me how much does it cost to spend the day at Maya Chan? Thanks.

Fascinating thread...and I sure hope you make it, Rich!

 

 

 

Here's a thought outside the box...if you've got good insurance, head up to Toronto.

 

 

 

Here's my thinking: a lot of the challenges during and in the immediate aftermath of the storm (Sunday) will be planes and crews being in the wrong places...and so many flights to Florida go through those affected airports. I think that's what's happened with your Sunday flight - conditions likely aren't going to be that bad in ISP, but they just can't get the plane and crew there...it's going to backlog US carriers for days.

 

 

 

The difference is, all of Air Canada's flights to Florida originate in Canada and will be unaffected by the storm. Sure, they've got some aircraft that serve NE US cities, but it's not on the scale of SW, JB, UA and others trying to restart the bulk of their systems on the run.

 

 

 

If you could get up to Toronto on Friday evening, there's several nonstop options to Florida airports...and most importantly, I expect all those planes will go. The trouble is, if you can't get up to Toronto tonight, you're unlikely to be able to fly out Saturday...even if the storm hasn't hit NYC yet Saturday morning, most flights are already cancelled as the airlines don't want their planes stuck in NYC, potentially for days.

 

 

 

On Saturday, Air Canada alone has 16 nonstop flights to Florida...there's more on Canada's #2 airline, Westjet...and at least five more flights Sunday morning that get in early enough to board Allure.

 

 

 

 

 

As for joining Allure in Jamaica - yes, check with RCCL. Falmouth is a couple hours by taxi from the airport in Montego Bay. But I'd also look soon into securing reservations for Monday or Tuesday...there's going to be a backlog of travellers trying to book a limited number of seats...even though JetBlue has nonstop flights from JFK, flying on Air Canada via Toronto might be easier to find a seat on a plane that actually departs on Monday...

I don't believe Mo'Bay to Falmouth is two hours. Closer to 20 /30 minutes.

Food for thought, you can also look into flights to West Palm Beach and Miami if all the Ft. Lauderdale flights are booked. Good Luck.

I'm getting thirsty reading this thread. I usually put a couple singles on the bar when ordering the "free coupon" drinks and get very good pours! No problem with cosmos. An added bonus, the bartender sometimes forgets to ring it up.

I miss Charleston, my daughter lived at Daniel Island for a few years.

Last November on the Vision, Jack Daniels and Jim Beam madhatters were available in the Diamond Lounge and with the pre loaded vouchers at the bars.

Hi Ken, you may run into my friend George, aka "Scotsman" on board. He'll be wearing a kilt on formal nights. He'll also have his pinnacle name tag on. You can't miss him. Tell him Hi from me and I'll see him on the Vision in two weeks.

Thanks for the review.

Hired a driver at the pier last Thursday. $20.00 per person for six of us. Started at 9:15am and drove us around the island until noon. Next, we spent 2.5 hours at Carlisle Bay. He waited for us while we swam, etc. His name was Dale.

Pinel Island, very calm, worth the effort to go there.
