I'm seeing this as well - this is an INSANE price increase. Maybe a sharp raise before an incoming sale?

Hmm... looks like our change went through. Puerto Rico 7 AM to 1 PM. If we are off the ship by 8:30 AM and head straight to Castillo San Cristobal, would we have enough time to explore if we wanted to be back on board by around 11 AM? Or maybe just don't bother and walk off for a coffee and a walk around OSJ and walk back on? Thoughts?

Hey! Just noticed that my husband and I are on your Allure sailing.

Yep - same for us. Or, I'll order an english muffin and fruit for breakfast if we are planning on a big lunch or want to get off of the ship quickly in the morning.

Absolutely. 100%. I can't imagine what that family is going through right now.

The only reasoning that I can think of for this is that people don't generally act rationally while grieving. On top of what's a pretty tragic situation between family members, they're grieving their child and grandchild.

FYI - other items in the cruise planner work similarly. For example, if you're ever booking a cabana at Coco Cay or Labadee for a group or a couple's massage in the spa, you only select one person.

The door hangar has a range of 30 minute intervals you can choose from, and we've always found them to be within that range and reasonably accurate.

I will say, having someone call your room to let you know coffee and fruit is on the way makes for a pretty great cruise alarm clock.

My husband likes to bring his suit because he never really has any other excuse to wear one and it makes him feel good. I usually go with a cocktail dress and heels.

I can assure you it's not a "bad ship", and propulsion aside it'll still be a great time. The last time the Allure had an issue with propulsion, we spent two weeks on board and besides seeing the wake missing a bit on the left side we didn't notice anything. Additionally, the cruise line can change the ports for any reason and happens often. It's unfortunate when it happens, but you can also choose to make the best of it. San Juan is a great port and even if it isn't what you originally intended, you can still have a fantastic time.

Yeah... I don't see myself booking a blow dry bar on board a ship, personally. Usually on vacation, I don't have a big interest in spending time in a spa unless it's for a relaxation massage.

And along with that breakfast space in Chops, don't expect anything like CK fare. It's going to be more or less similar to what's available in the MDR, just a separate space for suite and top tier guests.

I'm guessing at this point it's safe to assume our stop in San Juan in September on Allure is going to be shortened - maybe either just do a quick walk around OSJ now early morning with some coffee or just stay on board instead of making the trek up to the fort. I think our stops in SXM and Labadee are safe since we're already scheduled 8 AM to 5 PM in SXM and 10 AM to 6 PM in Labadee. Could be worse! Kind of funny that the last time we were on Allure, we were on our honeymoon B2B and they previous azipod issues were ongoing then as well.

Agreed on LGA. I know there's so much love for Southwest but it always ends up being comparable to Delta when flying from CVG, even though it's not really a hub anymore.
