Live from Allure - Oct 3, 2021 - Cruising with Covid 🤔

[John&LaLa]

Went to DL for cappuccino. No line at 7:30, but Laura got there early and said big line at 7am

 

Random DL pics

 

Lady in black tee shirt waved

 

Nice spread, they are still serving

 

Windows still blurry

 

FWIW, the DL seems crowded at the top of every hour, and thins out 30 minutes later.

 

We played cards, and sat through 3 top of the hours. Never an issue finding a seat, though.

[John&LaLa]

Never got an invite for top tier. Found out by accident looking out my window. Laura was annoyed we didn’t get invite.

 

Anyway, I went and watched from RW balcony

 

Not a big group of officers

 

One new Pinnacle 

 

Top cruiser had around 3700 points

 

Not exactly sure of C&A numbers, but this is close

750 Gold
290 Platinum 
167 Emerald 
355 Diamond 
311 Diamond +
73 Pinnacle

Laura scored a Chops BOGO for tomorrow night. No room at the inn tonight.

 

Nice they extended the offer a day.

 

 

[John&LaLa]

Infraction of the day. This may be a running joke.

 

During the 9am coffee line one of the servers asked if anyone was in line for regular coffee. Lady behind Laura said yes and walked to front of line. Got her coffee and then said she also needed a cappuccino 🤣🤣

 

And yes, they made her one.😉

Wow.  No one is that obtuse.

[John&LaLa]

BTW, I have started to say Alexa turn on or turn off lights a couple times now. 

 

Icon needs that feature😉

Where did you see the vaxxed only area list? I'm having a little difficulty reading on my phone.

On the cruise compass that @John&LaLa posted.

It must be Monday😉

 

Speaking of elevators, we now can ride with 6

 

It was 4 for test cruise. Nice modification🤫

 

It was 5 on Liberty test.  I think they may have one of the numbered wheels.  Before embarkation they spin and get the permitted number for the cruise.

Got Covid test at Walgreens this morning. Easy Peasy. Had first two appointments of the day. Took 10 minutes, results in an hour.

 

We had backups with the at home kits from Royal. Will save them for Oasis in December 

 

Thanks for posting this John.  I was  pondering where and when I needed to go for my Harmony cruise.  Wonder if CVS (closer to us) is doing the same turn around?  

 

And congrats on being so negative.  😄

I don't think these come off. Seems to be a one way clasp.  The hanging part is freaking me out. Should have put on left side

If it can't be taken off I will have a huge issue with it.

Drinking champagne & now unto Chardonnay. I’ll take a pic of the SL menu.

 

Hi Bill!  Looking forward to also joining you on Harmony in a couple of months!  Hope you are enjoying your cruise!!  🙂

@Ocean Boy I tried to get a sunrise. 

 

Mother Nature didn't cooperate😉

 

 

Still beautiful though.  We had a gorgeous sunrise in Cape Canaveral and it was raining out over the ocean in Cocoa Beach.  

 

Loving your cruise so far!

Maybe it was just 'vacation brain'.  At least, that's what we call it when one of us does something totally brainless on vacation.

Maybe they will be gone when I sail in December, and you sail in January.

 

@John&LaLa, can you please complain about these bracelets?  😃

 

If you wear your pin, maybe you can get them to take that one off your right wrist, and put one on your left.  🙂

Just checked into 1744. Thanks @orville99for keeping it “suite”!! 😁

 

Nice!!  🤗   We are in 1710 for B2B Harmony...actually first time in CLS for us.   Usually GS fans.

Did they do a mini dive show for the group?

I know this is John’s live review, and I hope he doesn’t get mad that I’m chiming in, but i would love to add a pic or two going forward. Anyways, here the shower products in the CLS. 

 

Peppermint Shampoo?!!    So do you now smell like a Candy Cane?  😉   Happy I bring my own.  😮

@TYMAN if you stick around, we will be next door in Nov.  👯

Filet the first night at CK. Ask John how good it was and if he kept the knive. 😂

 

Oh no...you got it with that sauce?   Did it improve any?  😮

They seem to be similar to the wristbands they use at music festivals I have attended. You can tighten them but it's a one-way street and you can't loosen it. Key is to put it on loosely enough where you can slip it off yet tight enough not to lose it. You can also tighten it to the point where it cuts off your circulation and you have to get it cut off. The silicone ones are much better.

Didn't care for the Blaze music

 

Ran/stumbled back to Dazzles to catch Temperature.  They are fabulous. Highly recommend. 

 

Appletini time.

 

Laura cutting a rug

 

 

 

OK John, you need to be a good husband and take your wife out onto the dance floor...cutting that rug probably doesn't do it for her.  😄

I assumed she did it deliberately. Got her cappuccino without waiting in line. 
Like the people who get in the express line at Publix and then ask for cigarettes.

I think CVS down your way and up my way only does the PCR (not enough time for results) and not rapid.  Walgreens will do the Rapid Binax Now
