I can't see how that would work, especially when there are favorite locations on the ship. 8 am not saying that it impossible but it seems far fetched.

Again thank you so much for this week we can't wait for August...shhhhhh, and September! I have never had two cruises so close together. 5 minutes ago, mo&fran said: I wonder if they are not using the same staterooms for the next cruise. We are in a JS and in our section, every room is occupied. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karen1821 Posted June 18, 2021 #978 Share Posted June 18, 2021 Thank you do much for such an informative discussion. This was one of the best reviews I have ever followed. I cruise in about 90 days and really have the fever. Thanks again. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kearney Posted June 18, 2021 #983 Share Posted June 18, 2021 One thing I like about cruising is meeting new people...with all the social distancing and reduced capacity.... were you still able to sit at the various lounges and bars and talk with strangers (vs people in your group)... how did that go...? At dinner we often converse with people at the table next to us... can that still be done...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kearney Posted June 18, 2021 #984 Share Posted June 18, 2021 One more question... did people other than the Pope... dress up on the traditional formal night...or were people a bit more casual than usual? I want to try packing as light as possible... since DH will need wheelchair assistance and dragging two bags around the Nassau airport is not appealing.

A few more gents in suits. A lot of casual (slacks and collared shirts). A few in shorts and t-shirts. Let me blunt, the vast majority could care less what you are wearing. And the few that look down their nose, will be staring at the floor most of the night. Edited June 18, 2021 by BirdTravels 25 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is tempting for our Sept Allure Port Canaveral, but thank goodness our buds from Tampa will drop us off at MCO..whew! We have a 12:00 flight.

Rare BirdTravels Posted June 18, 2021 Author #998 Share Posted June 18, 2021 (edited) For those joining the Adventure tomorrow, your food and beverages are being loaded today. (I hope the sushi for Izumi’s hasn’t been in that shipping container very long.) Only 4 containers on the dock… Hope you do t expect much beer.
