RichBuckeye Posted February 28, 2014 #1002 Share Posted February 28, 2014 The Aqua Theater webcam shows they are definitely moving and a wake is visible! http://www.royalcaribbean.com/multimedia/webcam/ship.do?shipCode=AL&cameraLocation=%2Fcontent%2Fshared_assets%2Fwebcam%2FAL%2FGallery_1.jpg--AquaTheater Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
senrab Posted February 28, 2014 #1003 Share Posted February 28, 2014 i think its 50% propulsion and 50% hotel operations At one captain's talk they quoted about 60% hotel operations, 40% marine ops. That may vary by ship, but it's probably somewhere in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spring Valley Posted February 28, 2014 #1004 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Looks like Allure is on it's way back to FLL, it finally showed up on Marine traffic. http://www.marinetraffic.com/ais/home?zoom=10&mmsi=311020700¢erx=-78.77232¢ery=26.47162 Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oasis has preference for berth space; I imagine shakedown runs until Saturday evening and coming into port Saturday evening after all other sailaways. Could be an awesome photo-op for Oasis and Allure to re-meet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder if it's just a test run and she will spend the night back in Freeport. Or maybe a pier other than 18 at Port Everglades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEIx15x8 Posted February 28, 2014 #1007 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Will be interesting to see when she actually comes in.

Could be an awesome photo-op for Oasis and Allure to re-meet. Royal Caribbean has to pay for the berth based on the time she is docked so I doubt she'll come in Saturday night unless they have extra supplies to load. Based on the size of the dry dock I doubt she needs a massive restocking though so most likely it'll be out at sea for a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare A&L_Ont Posted February 28, 2014 #1008 Share Posted February 28, 2014 That's a good sign. Wonder if it's just a test run and she will spend the night back in Freeport. Or maybe a pier other than 18 at Port Everglades. Just a guess but I would think they need to do some break in time as well as test time. If it is repaired and good to go it would be more economical to stay at sea until Sunday to avoid paying port fees and repositioning while in port on Saturday to Sunday. They could take on provisions on Sunday just as normal very easily as they are not off loading guests. I do like the one poster's idea about the photo opportunity with Oasis, maybe this afternoon or early evening. That would be a great photo to see.

Studiowind Posted February 28, 2014 #1010 Share Posted February 28, 2014 I just noticed that Allure of the Seas is cruising at 6.9 knts. The Port Everglade's Harbor Master's log shows her arriving on Sunday 3-2-2014 at 4:45 AM and setting sail for Nassau at 17:00. Would be interesting to see the whole journey to Freeport, the repair of the Azipods and the return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see 7 days and counting... very jealous. I would love to see that sight. 7 days and counting. We fly on Monday to Orlando with four days at Disney. Followed by 1 wonderful week at sea. After the latest article vortex, I can't wait to hit the warmer weather. I need it, we need it, you could use it, and heck all the people on these boards could use it. Let winter end, enough already.

mo&fran Posted February 28, 2014 #1013 Share Posted February 28, 2014 She is just off the coast from FLL at about 6 kts. I guess she will just hangout there till Sunday. Sounds like a photo op for Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just hope when we come back that I don't have to shovel my way into the house.:rolleyes: Been there, done that.;) They just updated the forcast saying Boston is going to be on the northern edge of the storm and most of it will be south of here so looks like you better put a shovel in the car. Hopefully, you will be able to give us a full report on the azipod fix. Captain's corner will probably be a little more interesting than some of them.

It is well deserved, isn't it. Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterMom Posted March 1, 2014 #1020 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Glad she appears to be doing well. I gotta say, seeing an empty Royal Promenande on a Saturday is a bit creepy. Ghost ship! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ocean Boy Posted March 1, 2014 #1021 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Anyone know where Allure is today? Its position has not been updated on Marine Tracker for over 12 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
readytolose Posted March 1, 2014 #1022 Share Posted March 1, 2014 I'm not cruising on Allure tomorrow but for some reason this morning I just started wondering if it was possible that they would start the boarding process earlier tomorrow. They won't have passengers to disembark so is there a reason I'm not thinking of that would prevent them from starting say at 10am? Just curious!

They won't have passengers to disembark so is there a reason I'm not thinking of that would prevent them from starting say at 10am? Just curious! Someone from the roll call was told by the concierge that boarding time will be as usual. However, I am suspecting that the cabins will be available at boarding time instead on the usual 1PM as they don't have to be made up that morning since there are no departing guests.

Ocean Boy Posted March 1, 2014 #1024 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Allure is back on Marine Traffic and located about 48 km SE of Marathon Key. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandonclan Posted March 1, 2014 #1025 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Allure is back on Marine Traffic and located about 48 km SE of Marathon Key. I see this now, could not find here earlier. She's having some nice "shakedown time" for running in the azipod repairs. Would be nice to know the lowdown on how it is all working out. They have been cleaning and fixing interior all week too. Will be nice for these next folks cruising tomorrow that all the cabins will be ready from the start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
