Is posting videos allowed on this forum? Yes, we heard about the 🚁. I have never heard videos were not allowed. I have posted one or two before 😂. If you are going to post one please trim it to a short video and if your editor will allow downgrade it to maybe a 720. When I first posted a video I didn't realize it was 4k. It can lock up some viewers especially those on cruise internet. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are they only available in the app or can you book them on the website in the Cruise Planner? Ours were available at least a month out. We used our app and when we did they showed in the Cruise Planner. We did not try the cruise planner to make reservations so I am not sure. Maybe someone else can let us know.

Do they serve breakfast.? If so what kind of food. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s the only time I went, to get some lattes. 4 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Ozark_Kid Posted January 25, 2023 #405 Share Posted January 25, 2023 I was headed to the room and noticed we had not left yet. We were delayed leaving because of another medical emergency. An ambulance came. No further details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Ozark_Kid Posted January 25, 2023 #406 Share Posted January 25, 2023 While waiting I took a couple shots from deck 16. I noticed a ship at a far distance. Someone said it is where Carnival docks. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were delayed leaving because of another medical emergency. An ambulance came. No further details. I figured it was pier runners when I heard the ship horn at 5:40 (supposed to leave at 5:00). Last week was a HEAVY week for ALPHA ALPHA ALPHA.... I heard way more than I usually do. Not sure if it's the demographic (out of Galveston) or what (I usually cruise out of Miami/Fort Lauderdale). I am surprised at how few passengers seem to be speaking Spanish as their primary language -- out of Miami, it seems like half the ship! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, that's the Mahogony Bay cruise port. Much larger/more developed than the Coxen Hole pier we were at. And there is a REALLY long walk to meet an outside tour/excursion from that port, compared to the relatively short walk to get out of the port gate in Roatan.

Could be that the water is just not clear? We were in Roatan, Honduras, today. Water clarity is amazing, especially early in the morning when John was out there. After noon, the water was a bit more churned up, but still pretty amazing snorkeling. Roatan is in my personal top three snorkeling spots, both for accessibility (snorkel from shore, don't need to pay for a boat excursion) and variety of coral/fish to be seen. I'm curious to see if any of the videos or pictures that I took with John's GoPro turn out. I've never used a GoPro before, and it's really hard to tell what's on the tiny little screen, especially underwater! We might have to wait until he gets home to get the pics off the memory card. (And we might need to send all the little video clips to @Sea Dog to make into one of his awesome edited movies!) 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare brillohead Posted January 26, 2023 Author #414 Share Posted January 26, 2023 So @Ozark_Kid has all the pics from our trip to West Bay Beach in Roatan today. My pictorial contribution is the salad I got at Park Cafe to refuel after five hours of snorkeling. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare brillohead Posted January 26, 2023 Author #415 Share Posted January 26, 2023 I had a bit of a heart attack when I got back to my room after eating my salad. I swiped my card, and I got THE RED LIGHT OF DEATH!!!!! I swear, my heart missed a beat.... I took several deep cleansing breaths, said a prayer to Allure's Godmother Princess Fiona, and swiped my card again. GREEN, just like Fiona!

It looks like they gave each evening a theme name but the food is the same old stuff they were serving before. Looks like they cut back on some of the nicer offerings. There are a few new dishes, but not many. Not sure what "nicer" offerings you think they cut back on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They built the extra pier for NCL. I presume the waterpark and activities at the port have all come to a halt? They were really busy working on it while we sat at Captain Jacks pre- Covid. Hopefully the bar has survived outside the port? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
