For example: My phone and carrier (Verizon) both support WIFI calling. When onboard I switch to airplane mode, then re-enable WIFI. Once connected to Voom, I make and receive calls and texts as normal.

Hey we get free coffee refills! ???

I don't wear the Pinnacle pin except to PIN events or the Top Tier party.

My go-to's are the Renaissance and Hilton Marina, both on 17th. Plenty of eats and shops within walking distance.

Did a b2b on Allure in June. Looking aft it was very obvious that while the center and portside pods were functioning normally, the starboard pod was limping along. It most definitely affected our top speed.

St Maarten is about 1150 nautical miles to Port Canaveral. At 21kts, that takes about 55 hours to sail. Leaving St. Maarten as scheduled only left about 60 hours to be back for Sunday morning.

I was on this sailing as well. Oasis class ships have a limited number of options for ports. It was simple math. Time vs. Distance vs. Speed simply would not allow for any other option, either before St. Maarten or after.

Fantastic!

Off to a fantastic start!

Not "low" places Karah...just "well grounded" ?

Did this on Oasis last year. Very well done and informative. i thought it was well worth it.

Been soooooo long since I've been here... looking forward to following along Karah!

I loved sailing from Galveston before retiring to Florida. This would be a great thing for everyone involved. The biggest question mark? The port of Galveston Authority. If anyone can mess it up, they can!

I've used all the places on 17th street (Pier66, Hilton Marina, Renaissance, Embassy, HI Express, Extended Stay). No issues with any. All (except Pier66) within walking to all the shops and eateries in the area. That said, my favorites are Hilton Marina and Renaissance

Wow. On another note, retired over here in '16 from Baytown...just up the road from you!

I return from Oasis the Sunday before, but I'd drive down to Miami any day that week! We'll see...

Maya key or Little French Key. Love both!

Barrachina's has an awesome menu also! A must for me every visit to OSJ!

Its the most wonderfully bad late-night snack you can find!

Indy on the 10th!

Interesting that the deck plans show the flowrider aligned with the ships centerline (normal), but the 3D rendering showed it angled to port. No Vintages...not surprised, always seems dead on every ship I sail. Hope the Morgan is gone too...it just creates a traffic bottleneck. Suite lounge replaces Concierge lounge (technically a loss for us D+ but a non-issue for me) Jamie's instead of Giovanni's (it was Portofino's originally) Glad they left the Boardwalk Doghouse on the pool deck. It was a great convenient snack back when she sailed from Galveston (before Asia), however it used to be on the port side. Can't wait to see the changes in July!

They are still keeping it quiet. I'll be onboard early July to check out both the ship updates and the new pier at Cococay!

Just off the Navigator 9-nt a couple weeks ago. Second time in 9 months for this ship/itinerary combo. Navigator has always been fantastic and this itinerary is fantastic. You will not be disappointed!

Had a great trip to Havana on board Empress last August. Will be going back in May, doing the Havana overnight on Majesty!

simple. maybe 2' deep and you're only about 10' from dry sand. Drinks are (as i recall) $5. First one included
