I think back to earlier in the season this year when there were few, if any of the ships, that left port on time. More recently, they almost all are close to departing at their published time.

 

When I was on Celebrity Eclipse last month, I asked the Food and Beverage Manager about why Eclipse was chronically sailing late and he blamed it on the Corporate office. They had not accounted for the time needed to load supplies for a 14 day sailing before the schedule was published. Yet, last week-end, Eclipse sailed almost on time.

 

I wonder, has the port workers become more efficient?

It looked like the ropes were still attached from the Westerdam.

I bet it is going to be an awesome tooting session as she leaves. Isn't this her last sail away of this season?[/quote]

 

 

Yes, it is...I'm sure she'll go out with a bang!

Looks similar to what we call a Custard Square.

A thick custard filling,sandwiched between pastry and icing on the top?

On the Allure, it is people, people, people everywhere. Just too many.

The only time you feel crowded on any HAL ship is during the safety drill!

I need to get a cruise booked. Of course, on HAL. :)

 

Many of our neighbors have been on the Oasis or Allure. They loved it and felt like it was less crowded then other RCL ships they routinely sail on.

It appears that the only folks left in Canada are the ones on this thread. I don't remember reading in the paper that we have been invaded by Canadians!:D

 

Oh believe me, there were more than enough today in my neighborhood supermarket, and on the roads...but us diehard stay at homes surely wish we were south bound.:D
