Big_G Posted November 8, 2017 #28 Share Posted November 8, 2017 We are only Diamond. Are you saying the DL has no windows on the Harmony? It's a nice lounge but no windows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

later Posted November 8, 2017 #33 Share Posted November 8, 2017 I think that is true and the lounge is located on deck 4 near the Comedy Club. But that is what I have read on these boards. I have not yet been on Harmony. That is correct Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare island lady Posted November 8, 2017 #34 Share Posted November 8, 2017 (edited) I must be having a slow day today. I don't get it. And I didn't have any drink package last night either so that isn't the reason. They live so close to Port Canaveral that they can probably see the top of the ships and hear the horns. Guessing they know where the ships dock in Port Canaveral. ;) :cool: We that live locally think it is so stupid for RCI to call the port "Orlando". :o Listed as "Orlando's Port Canaveral" Really? Would that be like Chrysler's Ford?? But perhaps the reason you don't get it....is that you actually need a drink!! :confused: :D Drink up my friend...it will come to you!

Rare island lady Posted November 8, 2017 #36 Share Posted November 8, 2017 It's a nice lounge but no windows. Small like the old one off the side of the Promenade on Oasis? With the elimination of a CL on Oasis...the DL (old CL location) does tend to get more crowded. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I missed seeing Chicago, (I think used to be on Allure...not sure) which I would have loved to see. Chicago was on Allure. I didn't really care for the story line or the music. I very much enjoyed Hairspray on Oasis and looking forward to Mamma Mia on Allure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare island lady Posted November 9, 2017 #41 Share Posted November 9, 2017 It's weird to call it Orlando, but it makes total sense from a marketing stand point. True...if it was close. But Orlando is 45-50 miles away and in the middle of the state. They call Cape Liberty...Cape Liberty. Not New York or Newark. And those cities are much closer to Cape Liberty. :confused: Or how about Galveston being called Houston? ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I am certain there is reasoning behind these decisions. I think it has a lot to do with Florida having so many ports, that calling it Orlando helps instantly distinguish the location for travelers unfamiliar with the State. If you are sailing out of Florida, it can be confusing. Orlando makes it simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poncho1973 Posted November 9, 2017 #45 Share Posted November 9, 2017 LOL!! Totally agree. :o ;) I really do find that annoying when RCI posts Oasis and MJ sailing from Orlando. :( Orlando is land locked, mid state, and 45 miles from Port Canaveral. It is not even in the same county. Port Canaveral is .....Port Canaveral. Not Orlando. :rolleyes: It's weird to call it Orlando, but it makes total sense from a marketing stand point. It's cute when coasties like to pretend they don't depend on Orlando for nearly everything. Maybe it is better referred to as Central Florida? I get that. You are Port Canaveral and you know it! The thing is, it *IS* called Port Canaveral on everything, but almost every port in the entire world that isn't directly in a city is referred to by the closest bigger city. This isn't some unique thing. Athens is actually in Piraeus. Berlin is in Warnemunde. (150 miles away!!!!!!!!) Florence is in Livorno. Houston is in Galveston. (lots of US people say Galveston, but people outside say Houston) London could mean Dover or Southampton or Harwich. (all 3 are about 80 miles away in 3 different directions) Los Angeles could be San Pedro or Long Beach. Paris is Le Havre. (120 miles away) Rome is Civitavecchia. (basically the same as Orlando/PC) Tokyo is Yokohama. There are plenty more, but PC isn't unique. It's just personal because you want to not be called Orlando.

Sorry...but I don't depend on Orlando for anything but an airport...then again we also have Melbourne to use. ;) Wonder if I should schedule some scuba diving, surfing, deep sea fishing, or beach time in Orlando. Hmmm....:cool: And if you pull up RCI ports....it actually IS called Southampton, Civitavecchia, Harwich, Galveston...etc. For some reason no one gets confused on those. Wonder why?
