How early will the Royal tranfers leave. We can carry off our luggage and get on the first shuttles but I know they have to fill before they leave. Thanks.

Out of curiosity, what do people tip the concierge in the suite lounge?

I am always hearing about how little the crew get paid and now people will be angry because gratuities go up. It's truly damned if you do, damned if you don't. Maybe people just like being fault finders.

I wonder if the Bahamas are too far. Years ago we took Rhapsody from Galveston and the first stop was Key West. If I remember correctly, it took a long time to get there and the stop was short.

I for one am very excited. For anyone out west, this will make cruising so much cheaper and easier. I know people complain about ports but for me, it's all about the ship and I love Allure.

I thought I read that Disney would use one of the existing terminals. I would love to see them bring Celebrity ships to the new terminal though.

I don't think Disney will have access to the new terminal.

I don't think you understand. I do not want to make this personal so please do not take it that way. Everyone is a victim. We all suffer terrible losses, death of parents, children, spouses, beloved pets. This is not in any way a normal reaction to a tragedy. Blaming others and trying to profit off your own child's death is sick. When people try to justify these actions it is just plain sad and misguided.

So people think the family should profit from the baby's death. Why? To punish the company for doing nothing wrong? To help care for the injured victim? Why? I don't get this twisted logic. I'm sorry for Tiny blondes loss but you are still not thinking clearly. Your sympathy and empathy seems very misplaced. Your situation is not similar.

I understand all the theatrics to try to get the grandfather off but to try profit off the death of an infant is unconscionable. When do all of the family's comments become slanderous . I think they are walking a fine line. Any compassion is quickly evaporating.

I vote grandpa goes to jail and no money is paid to the family. I don't think there will be an out of court settlement. It's like dealing with terrorists or extortionists. If you give in, you just invite more of the same.

The argument could also be made that anyone who exercises such poor judgment that it led to the death of an infant is a danger to society.

There is no defense. They are grasping at straws. It was just plain negligence. People empathize because of their own previous experiences but this has nothing to do with what happened to them. This is a totally different situation. It's a totally unnecessary tragedy but that does not get people off the hook for their actions.

Why are they even doing public appearances and interviews? The whole situation is very suspect. Are they really trying to make a case to sue Royal? The court of public opinion is not going to sway grandpa's criminal trial. Are they just trying to get a payday? Bizarre.

I don't think there is audio. If there isn't, that whole part is fabricated.
