That would be exciting if Vision comes to Baltimore! 

Since it's on the RC web site.... looks like it.

IMO, Vision is an upgrade from Enchantment.  I know Enchantment is bigger but I think Vision will be waaay better.  Congratulations !!

I completely agree

Exciting times for Maryland cruisers - another new different ship.

I was looking at the Deck Plans .... almost identical to Grandeur, and, unlike Enchantment, WITH Chops, Giovanni's and Izumi --- Enchantment only has Chops.

Just for kicks, I tend to check the RC Website to see if anything out of Baltimore is available to book later in 2023 (up till now, it only shows sailings through the Spring) ....  And then this morning.... September (ONLY September) popped up and has a 5-nighter to Bermuda listed on VISION OTS...... Did we just get a glimpse as to what's coming down the pike?

What family-friendly musicals would be good to replace Cats?

These are not my favorites but I think they're family friendly enough.

The Sound of Music
Shrek the Musical
Mary Poppins
Billy Elliot
School of Rock (kids on cast might be a challenge, but I've seen it on tour)
Annie
 

Those are good options ... it's a shame a more "adult oriented" show couldn't be on it, like, perhaps Rent.

I believe I may be in the minority here, but we love Cats .... even the abbreviated version.  I believe the real issue is that some folks may have trouble following the story line..... perhaps, if a Playbill was offered as people enter the theatre, providing, perhaps a back story as to what is about to unfold, some folks may be able to follow it a little better, therefore be able to enjoy the show.  In all honesty, Cats is one of the reasons why we booked Oasis out of NJ again this coming September.

Hey, Mark !  Another old friend (not referring to age !) has come out of hiding !  Great to hear from you !

I miss everyone ... but in all honesty, I really haven't gone anywhere..... the real issue has been browser issues with this website.  Normally, I use Firefox, which used to be fine when it came to the message boards..... then, several months ago, something happened and I wasn't able to log in ..... that is, until I discovered that using Google Chrome, everything worked just fine..... so, I'm here, but I may not be "here" if I'm not using Chrome.

As the title states .... another ship begins revenue sailings today, and another US Port gets back into operation.  Although, in the case of Baltimore, Carnival has been back for about a month, today is the first revenue sailing for a Royal Caribbean Ship.

Please delete the 8/28/22 Explorer Cruise.

Please add...

12/6/21 Independence

9/18/22 Oasis.

Thanks

I'm back @JLMoran --- crazy thing, I use Firefox here at work, and, up until today, I wasn't able to log into the message boards like normal.  Who knows what was going on, but......I'm back.

In regards to Tobacco Bay .... the tide differential is insane.  There are a couple of normal size park benches that completely become submerged during high tide, then show themselves as the tide drops.  I'd say there's a 3' - 4' difference between high & low tide.  Crazy.

I will Never do the Rock Climbing Wall .... I'd probably look like a Spider Monkey, and that just wouldn't be pretty.  

I agree with many of the other folks, I'll never remove tips, in fact, I usually add to them, I'll probably never do the Flowrider, however, I DO love Zip Lines, so, I'm good there.

I'll never be in the fray of the T-Shirt Sale (although my wife loves them)

I'll probably never have a Suite, unless it's HUGE and we split it with another couple.... we are totally happy in an Interior or Ocean View.... even a balcony is considered an "extra" that isn't a requirement.

I think they're doing both

She's doing the test sailing out of Bayonne as reported by Michael Bayley (Matt is updating the article)

Well, if they need to sail out of Bayonne, then it'd have to be that long to get to PD and back.

That's sort of what I was thinking ... it wouldn't surprise me if that 6 days includes going up to Bayonne and back.

An oldie, but a goodie

Glitch .... Happens more often than you think.

Not that I've heard....

Sadly Phillips is but a shell of it's former self but the Mrs Phillip's crab cake recipe with Jumbo Lump makes for a good homemade cake.  

Personally, some of the best crabcakes I've had recently came from a place known as Shannon's Pub .... it's on Route 40 (Baltimore National Pike) just west of Rt. 29 in Ellicott City.
