JimAOk1945 Posted April 11, 2017 #201 Share Posted April 11, 2017 I'm glad to hear the outside area is open now. We were disappointed that it was closed on our cruise, however we enjoyed the outdoor area of the Suite Lounge which was very spacious and comfortable. Happy Travels.

Summergirl*14 Posted April 13, 2017 #203 Share Posted April 13, 2017 So happy the outside area of Diamond lounge is open...hoping it stays that way for our February 2018 cruise. It will be our first time on LOS. We have enjoyed sitting outside on Adventure. We did not like the lounge on Harmony...inside and not even a window.

internetwhiz Posted April 13, 2017 #206 Share Posted April 13, 2017 I'm hoping they are coming. Just these loungers around the edge, and the poles had a wooden thing around them for drinks. Looks a heck of a lot better than the time before when I looked out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dplusd Posted April 13, 2017 #207 Share Posted April 13, 2017 [/qu RATS! Where are the tables and chairs???? Yes! I hope they add tables and chairs too! This space is needed most during the cocktail hours and who wants to sit in a lounger dressed for dinner with a drink and plate of hors d'oeuvres!

The Suite Lounge seems larger than the Diamond Lounge, and was not very crowded during the times we were in and out of it. The outdoor area was the same.

Rare BecciBoo Posted April 14, 2017 #209 Share Posted April 14, 2017 OMG you needed a shoehorn to squeeze into it last April! We don't plan to be there unless we can get in in the first 30 minutes, then we'll go elsewhere with the vouchers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I signed on to the August 20 sailing. They have that get a balcony at outside room price, and our TA had good perks. Sooo here we go again.

sealeggs Posted April 14, 2017 #211 Share Posted April 14, 2017 We will be on board starting April 23 and I will report back when we return to let you know if they have set up tables and chairs on the outside on the Diamond Lounge. I sure hope they have them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CruiseCheapsk8 Posted May 24, 2017 #213 Share Posted May 24, 2017 you can carry your own luggage and be off about 8am, should be able to get by 10am normally and that should give you enough time about hour and 15 mins drive to airport, we book suite which get offs after people that carry there luggage and was off at 8:45 last April Thanks for the info. Have only sailed out of Galveston once before and am glad to here. We have a VERY tight flight at 11:05 am. I know, I know, I wanted to stay and extra day and do the same flight, as the miles we were using were the same, but got the veto from my wife, so we're going to take our three kids and all of our luggage off ourselves (I plan to look like a mule and hope I truly can carry everything). This is encouraging and solidifies what RC Customer Service told me, which is they get into port by 6:30 and clear customs by 7:30, so we should be fine to be off by 8 and then rush to the airport. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! When are you sailing? We were just on the April 23rd cruise and did the self carry off, but that is just because we did not have a flight, we could drive home. We got delayed and did not get into port until around 10 because the water was so choppy. I know that is rare though. I also heard that in the winter, there are sometimes fog issues that delay the arrival. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TEGL Posted May 25, 2017 #215 Share Posted May 25, 2017 in regards to the new room service orders, does every room service order now come with the $7.95 fee or is that just the american breakfast?

sealeggs Posted May 25, 2017 #217 Share Posted May 25, 2017 Well we just booked this beautiful ship again. As for the table and chairs on the outside of the Diamond Lounge. Tall tables and extremely low chairs. It makes no sense. Wish I would have taken a picture. We will be sailing on October 29 over Halloween. There are 10 of us for now, may be increasing that number very soon when other family members find out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

internetwhiz Posted May 29, 2017 #224 Share Posted May 29, 2017 As of 3 pm today, you can Uber to, from and around Galveston. FROM UBER: Earlier today, Texas officially joined the list of 42 other states that have embraced ridesharing by implementing consistent, modern regulations at the statewide level. As a result, Texas will have the same rules for ridesharing across the state—mandatory safety screenings and driving history checks for all drivers, consistent requirements from city to city, and commitments to expand accessibility for riders with disabilities. With this new law in place, we’re excited to announce that we’re returning to Galveston today at 3pm! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
