Said anthem was specifically made for cold winter, so no way. Plus one ship can take as many as allure. Not one person asked will allure be amped hahahahaha. The question is will it come or not. Anthem was the rumoured ship, it was put on one of the slides to discuss at a meeting with RCL and the Port. Not sure what came of that in the end. I wouldn’t bet on the cold weather thing, when Anthems sailing from Southampton the majority of her cruises this year were supposed to be to the med! Yes, once you know the ships coming then you can worry about the amplification, lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L&S is RC's way of spreading out their losses over a much longer period than that. It could be wise move - only time will tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firstly, thank you for quoting a post from over 2 months ago, when there was approx 150k cases globally. There is now around 5.5million cases. Secondly, I stand by my original comments. As someone who travels with a young family, we wouldn’t go on Explorer due to the skipped amplification. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRV FAN Posted May 27, 2020 #506 Share Posted May 27, 2020 On 5/25/2020 at 4:09 PM, firefly333 said: That's the million dollar question. Rcl scraped building terminal 3 which was to be big enough to hold it for a year. Galveston council actually decided not to vote on if rcl could put it on hold. One ta says what choice does Galveston really have? Another ta said she called rcl about cancelling, she has groups the first 4 weeks allure will go out of Galveston and said rcl asked her to wait to cancel. So now we can speculate what that means too. Make her a offer to switch, yes they will come. I've even heard setting up tents to help get people onboard. That's what is driving us crazy, the endless speculation. I sure wish rcl would just tell us. Surely rcl knows? Just come out with it and tell us. I'll take any ship tbh, but I'd like to know. RCI hasn't "scrapped" the Terminal three construction, but just delayed it 1 year. I just listened to The Port of Galveston board meeting (live on Facebook yesterday), they mentioned that they are dredging the the canal now & that they fully expect terminals 1 &/or 2 to handle the Oasis class ships when they come. So reading between the lines...Allure WILL sail from Galveston as planned in November 2021. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big mistake, beach was packed, though each group was socially distanced but only ONE toilet for thousands of people. We stayed a couple of hours then left We are booked on Allure in Sept, but we can't lift and shift so will probably cancel before final payment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to hear, thanks And yes mentioned they asked for 1 year delay in other posts and last I hear the Galveston council postponed voting on it. Just didnt want to type it all. Good to hear they think they can handle in regular terminal, I hadnt seen anyone before this say they were that sure.

Sometimes, you can only advise but you can't teach stupid. In Scotland, beeches are open. We are a couple weeks behind England opening up. Golf just started yesterday and small gatherings are allowed at distance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LXA350 Posted May 30, 2020 #514 Share Posted May 30, 2020 Looking at the numbers in the UK, these places should still be avoided together with any other areas where social distancing could be an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack McGowan Posted May 31, 2020 #517 Share Posted May 31, 2020 (edited) Might be wrong, but have Royal released anything on a delay to the Galveston terminal? All we have heard so far about delays etc have been from the port authority. I can’t find a press release or announcement from RCL Edited May 31, 2020 by Jack McGowan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaughterInGrenada Posted June 4, 2020 #519 Share Posted June 4, 2020 We're booked on Allure in Aug. '21. Was looking forward to the AMP as we sailed on Symphony last Aug. If the upgrades were to be pushed out 1 yr. to May '21 instead of May this year, that would be great. However, the bigger draw for the cruise we booked was the itinerary, not so much the onboard amenities. Everyone wants to revisit Cocoa Cay, My wife & I have been to Nassau before (ho-hum), but not the kids/grand kids going with us, and none of us have been to Falmouth or Labadee. We're looking forward to those stops, especially the latter for it's high adventure/activity content. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zonacruiser25 Posted June 4, 2020 Author #520 Share Posted June 4, 2020 I still just want her to run well and look clean, stay healthy and work with Spain and Italy for Oct/Nov cruises this year! Positive thoughts 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robmtx Posted June 4, 2020 #521 Share Posted June 4, 2020 23 pages of posts, a lot off topic - just circling back to confirm there is still no word on whether or not Allure will get AMPED, and if so, have dates have been set? We're looking at the possibility of L&Sing a Sep 2020 cruise to 2021 and our only option seems to be on Allure. So just curious about it's status.

Nothing official has been released by Royal other that they have removed all the new cabin additions from the website that TA’s use. Not sure if they updated the consumer website or not 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
