    I assumed they would be there when we got to the room since they were a surprise for my graduating college daughter.  We still had an amazing trip but because of the late delivery we felt it was a waste if money.  I will cross my fingers they get to your room before you do!!! Jane

    I suspect it's one of those items you don't select each guest.
    For example if you buy a two device Voom plan and select both guests, you end up with two (2) device plans.  Each guests would get their own two device plan for a total of four devices.
    If you just select one guest, then a single two device plan is purchased.
    By selecting both guests you'll get twice the Champagne and strawberries and four glasses.

    The cruise terminal generally begins accepting guests around 10am.  Until that time they are focused on guests debarking and clearing the ship so that new guests such as yourself can begin boarding typically around 11am to noon.

    Port Canaveral resorted to Georgia when local residents freaked out at the idea of LNG storage near them.  Naturally the residents of Texas and the coast are much more friendly to oil and gas.

    Thank you. And yes, my priorities are on the Harmony. Fingers crossed that Marc is a good CD.
    With regards to the list here, I'm not getting info regarding the CD's now. In addition, the CD List on CC is now totally substandard so I'm not bothering getting info from that. The AM List there was always terrible. The only info I'm getting is from any CD's that I follow on social media.

    I think @Joe01 has done a really good job with this. However, with his Harmony B2B almost here, I'm sure the Harmony CD is the only one he cares about right now.

    Galveston is already LNG capable with an LNG plant located just south of Galveston in Freeport. Also they are in the process of building a plant in Texas City. Port Canaveral gets their LNG from out of state. "BA" Bermello Ajamil & Partners the company that has been hired to build the new terminal states the following in their brochure: https://www.bermelloajamil.com/flipbooks/MaritimePublication2019/36-37/index.html

    Only rumors.
    Icon class will be powered by LNG and requires special refueling facilities that can provide LNG in bulk to a ship.  So far no port in North America has this capability.  Carnival also has plans to build LNG ships.  Initially Port Canaveral is known to be thinking about or working on LNG fuel facilities but there is local opposition from residents who fear it may be unsafe and blow up.  Local fire departments seem to support the concept.  Since Carnival also has an interest in LNG it would be logical for the Port of Galveston to evaluate LNG fueling capabilities.  
    If we hear that Galveston is exploring the concept of LNG fuel capabilities that would be a pre-cursor to the possibility that Icon class MIGHT come to Galveston.  No LNG on the Port roadmap is a sure bet that Icon class is NOT coming to Galveston.

    Back in 2012 we went on the Allure of the Seas during Thanksgiving. We watched the Redskins beat the Cowboys on the big TV at the Aqua Theater. It was pretty nice.

    Yeah, we are NHL Hockey fans. Dedicated Dallas Stars STH as well. We could not get one game on at the sports bar for any hockey games on the Mariner of the Seas first December weekend sailing last year. We opted for watching the games on our phones with the Zoom Streaming internet package. Worked out for us. All good.

    On our last cruise we used the app with the chat feature.   It did not work out well for us with no push notifications.   I found myself using the phones throughout the ship to call into our room.  My lazy teenage son would get a wake up call from "housekeeping" to get up and meet us somewhere.   He would never check the app but always answered the in room phone!

    Welcome to the forum @brneuberg. All the walls, ceilings and doors are metal. Bring some little magnets to hold notes on the doors...the post its may blow off. Also get some heavy duty magnets like these for hanging cover ups, bags, etc. This will give you a lot more organized storage.
    In addition to the apps suggested in @Matt blog, we have successfully used Voxer for several years. It's free, but you can also pay for an upgrade to have a live walkie talkie option. It's available for both Android and Apple. Of course, to use it you will need access to the ship's wifi (Voom).
    Happy sailing!
