It also help that the RC has larger Ships that become profitable at lower cap. Example Oasis class ships only need to fill to 40% before they make a profit. Unlike the older Carnival ships that need upward of 70%+ before they become profitable. This one fact help RC in the restart become profitable far faster. Every quarter that is not in the red allows them to pay back debt.

  (They potentially may have an opportunity to make it taller to allow the bigger ships.. Bay bridge near Annapolis may still limit that though since it has about the same clearance )

While I do wonder what RC will do (odds they will move this ship to NYC), but right now I am praying to for everyone

As long as they keep the promenade. That is the thing I miss the most when cruising other lines.

Agreed. Love this wide open indoor area of the promenade.

I hope Project Discovery is real and is between Freedom and Voyager class. This makes it small but not too small. Best of all worlds.

BACK to BACK on ICON WOW

 Start the countdown

I would think that this kind of activity on a cruise ship would be an invitation to injury lawsuits.  You would think they would have learned from the jumping bubble...whatever it was called....

I like the jumping Bubble and hate that they are removing them.

Does anyone know if Rhapsody has a military escort for this?

They may inside the water of Israel but once they are in international waters, i agree i would doubt it.

Even if it become 3pm when our room is ready is fine with me. That is really not a big impact.

I also always had trouble with them... Love the App better.

Room steward may get more tips, but also would have more rooms to service

Agreed but  Currently they have 15 room 2 times = 30 cleaning .... They are moving to 25 rooms one cleaning per day = 25 cleaning. So it is about the same work load or a bit less.

Looks like you're right about Allure. I found this report about Allure passing underneath a bridge in Denmark:

http://edition.cnn.com/2010/TRAVEL/11/01/cruise.ship.bridge/index.html

Guess that makes her a prime candidate to take over from Oasis.

I believe all Oasis class ships has to due to the bridge in Demark

Honestly I don't need the room done 2 times per day. This is one cut that may benefit the cabin attendant (with increase tips payout) and the Company (saving money on less cabin attendant) without harming us.... I am all for it.

Does anyone know which port in Roatan Allure of the Seas would dock at?  From what I have been told there are 2 ports?

 

Looking on Google Map it shows Berth 1 - Port of Roatan.

Just got off this past Sunday. Now I looking forward to this cruise!!!  

I was just there myself. lol I was there on Tuesday and I did not see progress. I was just wondering if anyone heard anything.

I am thinking they will gives a little info every few months until it comes out.

Does anyone know the details of the upgrades at the Perfect Day at CocoCay?

Hoping that Starlink will be active on Anthem before my sailing in March of 23'! With regards to the speed, how good is it farther out to sea vs near land? 

Just got off of Anthem of the Seas and they told us that Starlink is scheduled for mid-December for install. 

I will be back on Jan 2nd so I will let you know if it is completed

I honestly felt that the statements of Icon being another 'game changer' was just over hype. I thought pretty much everything that could be done on a ship has been done and Icon would be a new variation. I WAS WRONG!!!!!!!

All i can say to that "I know right" Soo looking forward to it

At the rate spoilers and screenshots are being posted everywhere, I'm afraid they're taking away from the impact of your reveals for us tomorrow.  Would you say that despite what we've already seen, there's still a lot to discover?

 honestly It makes me wants to know MORE.... It look Great... AND i think It is a GAME changer... It will be a ICON for sure

Does anyone have any updates on ICON?
