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

[John&LaLa]

Mask requirements outdoors, bummer.

Lots of handwashing stations as well

 

4' must be the new 6'

 

Serious about making. Report Violations😱

I wonder if I should do that in the Windjammer 😉

 

Perfume store is closed.😪

Guess I'll order from Alexa

 

Kind of an overcast morning. Actually felt raindrops. I have a very sensitive scalp.🤣🤣

Crown Bay shops. As mentiobedvearlier, a lot are closed

 

A new meaning to Forward Hump😉

 

Goodbye Crown Bay. I miss Havensight

Been there, done that! 😇

Had lunch in jammer. Uninspiring. CK menu was just sad. And heavy. 

 

But we got good seats by food and enjoyed the people watching. Social distancing not going well. Feel sorry for crew.

 

Went to DL to play cards after lunch. Enjoyed the Pinnacle Bashing going on at group across from us. Put my pin on right before we left. 

 

Good times😉

Agree. 🤬

[John&LaLa]

Sorrentos opened at 1:00. 

 

It was pretty crowded, but that means fresh pie, so we can live with that. But no vegetarian 😕.

 

I still had my pin on from DL departure, and they probably noticed, so they put one in and offered to bring it to us. That's nice. 

 

Now was it because we're Pinnacle? Not sure, but I'm not going to turn it down. 

 

Pizza has been pretty good this trip. I'll make sure and mention that on survey.

In many communities, the first 6' or so belongs to the city/county. It's the right of way.

 

No some yards in our subdivision have signs requesting us not to walk dogs on their yard. I just avoid them

 

Have seen signs like this indeed.   Have lost plants that died from being "watered" too much.  And wow did that soil stink when we had to dig it up!! 😮

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

[Lady Hudson]

John - I knew you would recommend Cats. I shall see about scheduling.  Didn't care for it the first time seeing it but maybe that was because I was with about 100 6th graders!  Is that a new watch for Laura?  I noticed because I have a smaller version of the one she used to wear.  Fairly new to PINN pins.  Do most wear them a lot?  My few precovid PINN trips I think I wore mine to the Top Tier and PINN Meal with an Officer.

 

Hope you are having a fabulous trip!!  Katherine

Why do they insist on cranking up the volume in so many venues.  We had to leave the main theater because the headliner was so loud that it bothered my wife's ears (Tinnitus).  It's not like their target audience is a bunch of 20 somethings who are used to being in a nightclub.  Same with the sound volume in the CocoCay pool. 

 

I must be getting old.  GET OFF MY LAWN!

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!

No matter if you are cruising with RC or Celebrity no matter the size of the ship, you will be docking at Crown Bay. Few years ago, the RCG signed a new 10 year (?) lease to use CB.  Bummer! 👎

Well this is a first time in all my years of cruising. Desperate Times call for Desperate Measures.😉

 

 

 

Sorry but I have not idea what that is? Oatmeal? What's in the small dishes?

What line is that? I want to get some good ship in port shots but am not familiar with lines you can't cross.

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

Usually a red painted line on the pier separating you from the water, the ship and the mooring lines. My wife just shakes her head at me and continues on. 😂

When I approach the red line while taking pictures, it's my husband who's worried and freaking out about it. 😄

Sorry to hear that.  You've probably never been yelled at before for doing something wrong, and it probably hurt your feelings.

Yeah, the old "We have exciting new changes for you!!"   I always cringe when I see that listed at the beginning of one of their "improvement" notices.  

 

Just another typical RCI thing for changes that benefit them...not us.   😣

Princess, too. When they first started docking at Crown Point, they said the ships were too large for Havensight. 
It’s been Crown Point with both lines since.

Looks like "gruel" to  me.  😛  Never been a fan of RCI's runny oatmeal.  

 

When Neo had his first breakfast with the crew.  "Everything the body needs".   🤢

So, what was said?   Inquiring minds want to know.  More importantly - was any of it true?😀

Hear what - reduced entertainment?   You can look a the entertainment schedule and see that the  major shows were postponed till late in the week.

It's been discussed on here and FB most of last week. 

Must have missed it - we were on Mariner all last week.   Hope you continue to enjoy the cruise.

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?

As far as I know...as long as you don't cross the red line...you are OK.   

 

Gets more tricky when pax are weaving back and forth walking back to the ship after spending all afternoon at Senor Frogs.  😉
