Yep, FLL on Allure.

It’s really not an issue. RC does a great job working around the storm systems to the point where it’s almost a non issue. 

Another one of these. Oh boy 

I certainly wouldn’t cancel a B2B for anyone’s comments. You would be better off experiencing this for yourself and forming your own opinions. 

I'm sorry that your family members got COVID Richie, it really sucks. But would you not have been just as exposed at a crowded land resort, which also would have been packed the last week of summer vacation? Or DisneyWorld or any other family vacation destination? Yes, cruises are back to being crowded, but the point that @tonyfsu21 is making completely valid - you were and are exposed many other places to every germ out there, not just COVID.
I got COVID after my June cruise. I am also vaxed and fully boosted. We had to test before cruising still then. But then after you get your negative result everyone is out and traveling to the cruise on planes, in hotels, in restaurants - and it just sucks but it happens. I'm more inclined to think I got it walking through O'Hare or Newark than on the ship, but I will never know. I was grateful that it seemed to be the mild summer variant and was feeling great again in a few days - AND planning my next cruise!!!

I got Covid too. It was at the end of April of this year. Three vaccine shots and everything.  The only place I had been for the preceding three months was work. 
 
I was more protected on a cruise ship in 2021 than I ever was at work. 
 
 

Those aren't mutually exclusive tonyfsu21.  You could be jaded and it might be a miscalculation and slight overreaction. 🙂
Richie, were you expecting 6 feet of space between all people at all times?

Another one of these. Oh boy 

Yes  CafeTwo70 on Quantum class ships is very close if not exactly the same as the Park Cafe on Oasis Class.

Well……. There’s a storm brewing. It’s not much but might shake up the weather in the Caribbean just a bit. 

Nassau and anywhere in Jamaica. Could do away with both stops and be totally fine. 

15-20 minutes at most. Easy drive and a great relaxing day. 

Like everything else on planet earth on a post Covid world, things are not the same…. I would put little to no emphasis on the reviews. I do find that both Paradise beach and Nachi are more laid back than Mr Sanchos but I don’t really think you can go wrong at any of them. They are all pretty much located adjacent to one another so the drive time is the same. Also, I would not be concerned about taxi rides back as we have never once had an issue getting a taxi on the decade + we have been going to these beach clubs. Have fun.

Florida weather forecasts are useless. Basically they can all be summed up "it could rain, but we have no idea where or when exactly, nor for how long"

One thing I’ve learned after my 45 years in South Florida is to NEVER trust the weather forecast. Even if it “rains” it’s not the same kind of rain systems you see in the mid west or other parts of the country where its just sheet rains all day long. Most of the time the sun is out 15 minutes later. Yes, the freedom will have a sail away party and do not base your decisions off of the forecast.  

We just got off Freedom last Monday and nobody (I repeat nobody) I ran across even mentioned Covid. The terminal employees do a half assed check when you are on the way in and then once you are onboard it’s literally business as usual from what I can recall of pre pandemic cruising. The crew members still wear masks but there are literally no more protocols. It’s actually a wonderful thing.

Thank you, this will be perfect. We are going to book for our Thanksgiving cruise for sure.
