Yes it was running.
Hard to judge on the Nov 9 sailing since they gave it to everyone, but it struggled mightily. Lots of "where did the internet go" along with just slow speeds because clearly it was oversaturated.
Yikes, I can’t imagine the whole ship on internet! Hope you had fun on the 4 day, and hope your cruise was warmer than Texas on Sunday!

November 13 cruise - in deck 8 OV balcony , approx 4 Mbps down, 1.8-2.4 Mbps up. No problem sending pics or short videos from theater, ice rink, and public areas. (Of course this was just a few hours after sail away.)
I’ll update the thread around Roatan, and also on sea days.

That is right by the terminal. Thanks so much, it does help answer my question for sure!!!
You’re welcome! If I recall from the parking map, the slim white covered area you can barely see in front of the blue-covered parking, is bus drop off. And then cross street right into terminal.
I’ll try to take pics of parking when I board Sunday, to update this thread. OMG! I’m boarding Sunday !! My first Oasis class ship !

Excited for the new terminal. Question - I reserved a spot in the North Covered Parking for a tip on Adventure in December. How far of a walk will it be to the Terminal entrance from the parking lot? Asking because my wife has some mobility issues, but if it is a short walk, then we should be ok, otherwise, I will need to drop her off and then go park. Has anyone been able to gauge the walking distance yet?
@DoomSlayer
I zoomed in on this photo from webcam this morning, and added an arrow pointing to what appears to be the covered parking area of pier 10-North lot. Hope it helps!P.S. The arrow should be a little longer. It’s the blue covered parking directly in front of terminal.

So excited - not on the trade event, but excited to be on the sailing Sunday!!

I confirmed that the doc's have not been updated. I'm sailing on Allure on November 13th and they will be sailing out of the new terminal. My doc's also show terminal 2.
Same here.

Rome. Ship arrived at 7am. Disembarkation started at 7:30am for guest taking their own luggage off the ship/suite guests. 8am was the first luggage tag group, 9am was the last luggage tag group, they called the 8am groups at around 7:50am.
Thanks, this info is very helpful !

Did you embark in Barcelona or Rome? If Rome, what time did the disembarkation begin? Trying to plan pickup time from the port to Airport Thanks!

Thank you for posting. I think competition is a good thing, the more cruise lines that sail from Galveston the better.
Princess has a smaller ship in Galveston, Ruby Princess, this fall through next spring.
I was searching on a TA site for prices of Royal’s January 2023 cruises from Galveston, and found the Ruby Princess cruises so cheap as a solo cruiser, that I couldn’t pass them up. I have a b2b, one week they visit Roatan, the next Belize. There was no single supplement on the cheap January Ruby cruises when I booked a few days ago.

@Galveston Steve , Princess just released 2023-2024 itineraries from Galveston with Regal Princess .
Regal’s deployment starts and ends with 12 day FLL to GLV October 2023 and back March 2024. There are several 10 and 11 day Holiday cruises,, and the rest are 7-day Sunday departures.

Planning a trip on Symphony next summer. Would like to combine a last tour of Rome with transfer to CIVITAVECCHIA. Tour plus transfer is about 5 hours. Ex: 9 AM tour start, drop at port 2-2:30 PM
itinerary says 8 PM departure. Any idea when check-in ends?
TIA…

@Tymz, Yes, I just checked in this week on app for 4 of is - 2 per reservation.
App had all four of us in a row. I chose the arrival time for each of us first, then went back and did check in one at a time. Pleased with the App. Worked great.

2 days before cruise, do both guests have to cancel the trip??
Can one still go? Is there a change in costs??
Thanks
1. Is insurance involved for a refund?
2. If not, is the cruise still under CWC where Positive passenger asks for FCC (if so, whole stateroom canceled)

Hello - … Her dad would drop her at the cruise terminal and she'll have all the relevant paperwork (vaccinated, antigen tested etc...) - I would already be onboard in the theatre on turn-around day (and don't want to have a scenario where I get off and check back in as they would need another covid antigen test that I wouldn't have access to in the UK, as its on us to do this now)...
Wouldn’t you already have your next seapass card for the 2nd cruise? Then you wouldn’t need to go through new cruiser process again, right? Seems you could disembark into the terminal as you are already “checked in” and accompany the teenager onboard.

If you can get a room Harbor House is the closest Hotel to the terminal and is a short walk away. It is located right on the dock and depending on room you can see cruise dock. It is a small hotel with not many rooms but is very nice.
It’s close to Terminal 2, but Allure will be at Pier 10 (new RC Terminal) by the time OP sails

Smooth boarding for Harmony’s 4-day sailing November 1st. Parked in Terminal 10 North lot at 10:15, and onboard by 10:30.
Self carry-off was supposed to start at 8 am on return. I was off by 7:45 and many had departed before me.
