There are reports that Radiance is having propulsion issues on its way to Vancouver.

Most definitely. You walk through a duty free shop (just like anywhere else I guess) then walk through a town-like setup with your typical shops and a Margaritaville (though the MC there got annoying). Then there's both a pool and beach (with bare foot walkable sea bed and several different kinds of fish). Then along the beach there are local vendors of typical stuff plus food/beverages.

The shops/bars/beach will be open to you even though it's owned by Carnival. Just note that while there are free beach chairs, they're set back from the beach (you'll see them behind some ropes from your view from the ship when you dock). Beach access itself is free.

They are hoping to open a 35 foot channel this week, but that'll be for ships stuck in the harbor to get out. Then they'll close it again to get everything else cleared to go back to regular ops by the end of May.

No, I just like the movie. And we'll be "celebrating" (hopefully) surviving the first year of middle school.

I'd imagine doors will be already open and people inside waiting for ship clearance by 10:30.

There are already some 4/5 nighters on Mariner and Allure listed. But only a few.

Maybe that Grand Turk port schedule wasn't just for contingencies.

Well, I was wrong about June. RC just started canceling June stops at Labadee.

All checked in.

First time on Freedom since before it got amped.

The Grand Turk port schedule has RC ships there through September. Though I could see those being placeholders, not an indication of RC canceling Labadee that deep into the year. https://www.grandturkcc.com/Port-Schedule.aspx

Enterprise is also right there.

It has started. https://www.royalcaribbeanblog.com/2024/04/22/royal-caribbean-starts-construction-royal-beach-club-bahamas I stop in Nassau next summer, but nothing in my cruise planner for Nassau yet.

I feel for the staff having to contend with I assume two different POS systems. I wonder if food was any different since Celebrity would have brought some

This does seem like a quietly changed policy.

Yeah definitely drive/get a ride.

We had our first teen club experience during spring break on Adventure. I was kind of disappointed with lack of activities, but since I have nothing to compare it to (is it the ship? Is it the number of teenagers on board that cruise that dictates teen activities?), I have no idea.

We're on Star March 15, 2026.

5am is when they reset

Agreed. The neighborhood concept really seeks to segregate the various demographics (families, seniors/retired cruisers, younger couples who don't want to be around kids) while at the same time emphasizing the vibe in each of those neighborhoods.

I hear those noises every morning when I first step out of bed.

April 30 local to the ship's home port, Southampton. April 29 your time.

MyTime was originally MyTime when it was first rolled out. Then they let it grow too big. Now it's "WeWillFindTimeForYou"

Both are the same height.
