I had to log out while logged in in and login again in order to post.  Did CC hire RCI IT department?

Unfortunately, that is when it is most dangerous.  We ended up in a similar situation in St. Thomas a couple of years ago.  They targeted us for a few too many drinks. 😀

When we first began cruising, we used Carnival. Later, on our first Royal cruise, I remember being happy that poolside music didn't seem as blaring. Might have been that I had hearing loss by then. These days, I just take my hearing aids out.☺️ Perfect!

I do exactly that!  Mind if I ask where in TX you are?

I’m going to have to start cruising on smaller ships. It’s my fault we never dock at Havensight any more. 

RCI doesn't dock at Havensight. It isn't just their big ships.

Yes, oatmeal. 

The containers are gold raisins, cinnamon, and brown sugar. 

 

You always see them along edge of pier. This one is up by the fence to Crown Bay. Just do what you want and get yelled at

The last time that I got yelled at was in Aruba. Actually, I had a whistle blown at me and then I got yelled at.

@John&LaLa True story. On the evening news tonight they did a little blurb on Andrew Lloyd Webber. He said when the movie for CATS came out it was so bad that it traumatized him and he had to get a therapy dog. All I could think of is if he only knew how many RCI cruisers are in therapy thanks to him.😇

What does Canada Dry and Bare Naked Ladies have in common you might ask?  

 

The answer is much more Canadian than Sorento's Canadian Pizza, it isn't maple syrup, and it is no Big Bang Theory. 😉 

 

Drink it up.

 

 

 

Appreciated the Syd and Stanley Cup chalice reference!  🐧🏒🖤💛🖤💛

I know. They have a contract. But there are smaller ships that do dock at Havensight.

So I am assuming that if I wanted to get that close up of a classic mooring line post and line going to the ship that is a no no?

I just pretend I know nothing about the no go zone. 😈 No problem as long as you stay on your side of the no go zone or use a zoom. 📸

Unfortunately none of the ships are part of RC or Celebrity fleet.

So I guess a shot like this is a NO?

Basically they just pushed all the two tops together.  Not sure if they will seperate them.

 

On Allure they expanded CK into the area where Chefs Table is on Oasis. Kinda what they do on Harmony and Symphony as well

 

I can try and ask CK managervwhst capacity is now

Thanks John.  

We ate in the expanded area (where Chef's Table is on OA) 3 or 4 nights.  It was very comfortable.  We really like CK!!

We are looking for 4 tops as we cruise with another couple so will be happy that there are many.

:sigh: I remember docking at Havensight on Freedom. Of course, that was back on June 1, 2016. :sigh:

 

That was the only time we ever got to dock there. Every other time was Crown Bay. We had an awesome time on that cruise. The Crown Bay vs Havensight discussion brought back some wonderful memories.

So many great Canadian references!  Love it.

John -- Did Elaine Santana move from the Diamond Lounge to the Suite Lounge? I read on the Facebook Concierge thread that the email sent to Suite passengers came from Elaine and Dexter Fraser.  She is a good concierge -- she was our DL Concierge in August.  If Elaine moved to the SL, who is the Diamond Concierge.  Thanks.

I wonder if Allure is doing like Adventure did this past September? The Suite Lounge Concierge and DL Concierge rotated between the two venues, swapping places?

I love Barenaked Ladies. When we were at Walt Disney World, there was a large Wells Fargo conference going on. They were playing a private concert for the attendees. 

 

I tried so hard to ingratiate ourselves with the Wells Fargo people...we bank there, my mom worked for BofA, we really love banks. 

 

Nope. We didn't get to see them.
