[quote name='rkacruiser']And when that happens, the Miami River will be deep enough to dock a retired HAL vessel in downtown Dayton, Ohio.

Does everyone else have sound?

It's OK. We have sound now. Edited February 22, 2014 by Mumsysailor

My neighbors who are avid RCL cruisers rave about Oasis and sister ship and swear they feel less crowded on the behemoth than on the smaller class RCL ships.

I[FONT="Comic Sans MS"][SIZE="3"] have sound but it's scratchy. Anyone know what the hold up is?[/SIZE][/FONT]

[FONT="Comic Sans MS"][SIZE="3"]I am very excited that she will be returning to Bermuda...and from Boston, too. That's on my "to do" list.[/SIZE][/FONT]

That is, of course, that the depth of the Mississippi River and the Ohio River would get the ship as far as the mouth of the Miami River.:D:D:D

ANYTHING would be less crowded than the smaller class RCI ships. There is not a quiet public area onboard

Plenty of smoke from Veendam.

Nice town near a really great aviation museum.


Downtown Dayton OH once had a historic 100 year flood. Even the bridges would pose no problem in that event. Best part for me would be that I could just drive to the cruise port.

She's belching smoke . . .

Yes. I have a friend who sailed on Allure. While it was their first cruise, the family had a great time, will cruise again, and had no issues when I asked about possible negatives. They cannot wait to cruise again.

Yay! White truck!

[erewhon]

At last the white truck!

[aliaschief]

[quote name='rafinmd']Well, must get to my Blue & Gold and miss the Veendam. Ironically, it looks like my next sailaway will be the Veendam May 1.

Thanks for the thread, Chief and for the webcams, Lou and Dave.

Okay, those who know. What and why is that small boat directly in front of the V'dam

Never mind, it backed away. Edited February 22, 2014 by lka1012

Dropping off a Pilot I think.

United States Air Force Museum in Dayton is huge and you can spend a couple of days there.

Museum is the largest tourist attraction in Ohio.

Is that a white truck I spy?

Considering the number of astronauts who were native Ohioans, Neil Armstrong among them, it is a shame the museum couldn't have been recipient of one of the retired shuttles.
