    Carnival certainly thinks PC is ready by putting the Mardi Gras there. Disney just signed a deal for increased sailings and is putting their new ships there. 
    Orlando is one of the biggest tourist destinations in the world. The people are already coming.  There is no reason they couldn't support two Oasis ships while south Florida is doing the same.

    OrlandoC got a reaction from The Cruise Junkie in Oasis Crane Crash   
    After watching the Allure video and some of the other media about the accident they could have a real problem in a worst case scenario. The cofferdams were drained this morning which means they had already started work. The azipods may be partially disassembled. One of the photos above shows the dams are submerged again after the accident. The cofferdams are unique and if damaged would take a while to fix and/or replace. The ship does not fit in the floating dock so there is no way to seal it and drain the whole thing. They might be able to pull the ship out, fix the dock damage, and then bring it back in to do the pod repair.
    Best case is that since its Monday they hadn't gotten to disassembling the azipods yet and all three are Ok. Then it is just a matter of removing the crane, fixing that damage, and making a new plan to do the azipod maintenance.

    Photo isn't great but you can see half of the railing on the FlowRider deck is missing. Not clear if it is damaged or removed as part of the work. If that area is damaged that must have been some hit, maybe the line snapped? (Edit: maybe the back part of the crane? Hard to tell with these shots).  It doesn't look like the crane itself hit that area. 
    I also see damage on the Aqua theater and maybe one of the lower AT balcony rooms.

    Keep it up and get a real camera! After getting my first DSLR I really loved learning all about photography and how to use the features of it that you could never get with a Gopro or phone. You will have a lot of fun experimenting. 
    I didn't bring mine on the cruise but I use it all the time around Orlando. Both for fun and work. I'd like to get one of those new mirrorless cameras now. They're lighter and better for travel than the DSLRs.

    I stopped reading after the author started talking about their dangerous drive through a "Level 2 alert area". 
    And not mentioning that Level 2 is the second lowest level which is also given to the "dangerous" countries of Germany, Denmark, and the UK.

    Hey just saw this. We were on the same cruise. Our dining room tables were even close to each other (I think, assuming 687 is close and we were in the same time). 
    The channel you mentioned in Haiti was really beautiful. We were up on the deck over the bridge. The island is the famous pirate hideout of Tortuga. 

    All in all it was a great trip. Beautiful weather every day.

    I had one for our October cruise. Thanks to this site I knew to only book one "person". 
    Royal still put a mailer in my room on the first day letting me know if I had accidently booked more than one I could go to guest service to get a refund.

    Haha. I'm in that orange ferry in the second photo. Off to the Mayan ruins in Tulum. 
    Oasis left Cozumel about 45 minutes late. I sure did see so one walking down the pier with a porter and their bags as we finally departed.
