  1. Well, toxic waste to some is another's treasure. LOL No, I didn't know that. That would be pretty gross, not to mention unhealthily and it probably wouldn't run well in the news for RCCL to be debarking passengers in a toxic waste site.
  2. It's possible they could tender passengers off the ship and have busses waiting at a pier at Sparrows Point, which is outside of the bridge. From there it's about a 20-minute bus ride to Seagirt Cruise Terminal. I don't know what condition the piers at Sparrows Point currently are for this to happen and if there's a possibility they could just dock the ship there to unload. I seriously doubt Sparrows would be a viable alternative to Seagirt to continue sailings from, only a one time emergency off-load of the passengers. I would take that over debarking from Bayonne.
  3. It’s possible they could use Sparrows Point to offload the passengers but that’s pretty close to the scene and I don’t know if authorities will want any ships near that area for the foreseeable future.
  4. We're used to our pool being 87+ so the wave pool is pretty cold in April to us, probably around 75 degrees. Feels even colder if it's a cloudy & windy day. It didn't appear to stop many kids because they packed the wave pool. The Oasis pool is pretty cold too but we can usually find a return pumping out warm water and stay close to that.

  6. I was looking at Freedom for next August and a JS totals $3800+/- for the three of us. I thought, well that's not bad, I just want to choose the refundable option and bam... an additional $2,200+/- for refundable. Well they can keep the cabin, if someone else wants to pay that much for it, more power to them.
  7. I don't get it. I want to go to Bermuda out of Baltimore next year. Carnival Pride does a 7-night cruise to Bermuda with 2.5 days in port, meanwhile Vision does 5-night cruises to Bermuda with only 24-hours in port, but for substantially more cost. I've previously sailed both ships and it's a no brainer - I chose the Pride.
  8. Since you mention it, I was just checking out the MSC America. It cracks me up how many different concepts they rip-off from RC ships - boardwalk like area, royal promenade, Two70, bumper cars, to name a few.
  9. I think that's more of their sales MO to get people to think they better purchase quickly or lose the chance. It will be just like the Thrill Park in which they pack in as many people as they possibility can, regardless of the seating capacity.
  10. Reads like it will be a similar atmosphere to being around the oasis lagoon swim-up bar - a loud, partying raucous.
  11. Wow, that's a pretty long time for some "TLC". It doesn't take them that long to amp-up their ships.
  12. Just got word that the balloon will be closed for maintenance on August 15. Not sure if this is a long term thing or just the day I’m there. After the 15th I’ll now be 0 for 5 with getting to ride that balloon.
  13. Not sure about the waterpark but definitely the balloon. I am 0 for 4 for going up in that balloon - it is ALWAYS windy when I'm there.
