I'm still getting my sea legs.

How's the knee? That's probably the most you have walked in a while to get on board. Cheers!

They are doing a Zoom in photo op right now on the Port Canaveral webcam, I can see 3 people at the rail right now...so exciting!

HINT: n Bring a magnetic clip for the stateroom door to hang your mask on.  I can't tell you how many times we left the room without our masks and had to turn around to get them.  Once I put the clip on the door, we never forgot.

Thank you.  Great tip

Hi everyone!

 

I wanted to share that creating a disturbance or hijacking during a "Live from......" topic is not allowed. We're grateful for members who take the time to post on their vacation -- and in this case a very special "test" sailing that will help reopen the world of cruising to all of us -- to share with us stuck at home. If you disrupt a "Live From...." thread you could find your posting privileges suspended.  All eyeballs are on these "Live from..." posts; please treat them with respect.

Guess they weren't scanning the bags very carefully?

I use Baileys when making cocktails. Usully a full bottle 0.7 lasts for a very long time. I cant imagine drinking straight out of the bottle cause first of all its very sweet and secondly its not made for you to drink it like vodka or any other hard liquor

John,

Enjoying your live, interesting and much appreciated information on the Allure test sailing. Thanks to everyone who is on this historic cruise. We will be boarding the ship on August 8 if all goes well. To you and Laura, have a fun time, and safe travels.

My favorite drink and the only thing I really liked from the former Diamond Lounge list.

Wow, nice WJ meal.  I hope this becomes a WJ regular.

Having fun seeing friends who are on the ship waving to us from the stern.

Departure is 5 pm

 

Cabin internet is lousy, even paid extra for stream 

 

Mask compliance seems excellent so far.

I see your Muster Drill Completed sticker. Did you do yours as soon as you boarded?

[lazydayz]

Almost time for sail away!  Enjoy.  We are eagerly awaiting yours and then ours on August 15th. 

 

Is the Diamond/Concierge Lounge open?  If so, are they requiring vouchers for all drinks, both alcohol and not?  Thanks!

I love it straight or in coffee. Typically I do ywo doubles before heading to port on cruise day.

No lounges operating. It was in a letter.

Traditions are good.

[John&LaLa]

Apparently no kegs of Newcastle. 

 

Luckily they have bottles.

 

I'm adding an extra dollar to the automatic tips

 

Now Starbucks is not half price, no biggie.

Will do Cafe Promenade next time
