This was beautiful review. Thank you for sharing your cruise with us. Alaska is on our long bucket list.

Sorry if this has been asked for but can you share the email address for the president of Rccl or an executive of customer service? thanks!

I guess I have been asleep at the wheel as our last cruises on Rccl, we purchased the drink package precruise with good sale prices. I had no idea they raised the price so much and not happy about it, of course. We sail will be on the Allure 9/1 and will purchase the package and use the 30% off for diamond plus as it is a special cruise for us celebrating 20 years together. However, I think we will be looking more so to best value which doesn’t seem to include Rccl anymore. Sad as we love their oasis class of ships. If if they are going to raise the prices then raise the % of d+ discount! Ok rant over.

Read the reviews on TripAdvisor first. The renaissance is our pre cruise stop out of Fort Lauderdale.

I will buy the bottled water no problem. Just shocked it’s not included when every other cruise line includes it in their drink package...I think?

After many years of being loyal to Rccl and a few celebrity cruises, we booked the Encore TA. We are excited about cruising on a brand new ship - did the same itin on the Quantum. I have heard the entertainment is terrific on these NCL ships so looking forward to that for sure. One negative off the bat - no bottled water with the drink package ? On Rccl and celebrity it is included on in addition to specialty coffees. Not a deal breaker but disappointed.

We have been to Barcelona twice, most recently last October and had no issues getting a taxi from the hotel to port. The front desk was more than helpful in arranging and other people waiting we’re going to the airport as well as the cruise port. I don’t see an issue of a long wait time if that is the concern.

We enjoyed sailing out of Bayonne. Looking forward to going back on oasis when she comes to Bayonne in 2020. Not crazy about the itinerary but stopping at coco cay would be good I’m sure. Will you be cruising out of Bayonne before anthem comes back from Europe?

We tipped at the end of our last celebrity cruise (6/1/2018 equinox). We spent most of our evenings at the martini bar so gave a group tip the last evening

Our cruise would be almost $500:more if we rebooked. We currently have the classic package, prepaid gratuities and $300 OBC for our 11/30 Summit cruise.

If I were going out of Florida, I would wait until February. We have boarded ships in January and the sail away was chilly. I want the sun when I cruise so we will go out of San Juan or wait until feb/mar for our winter cruise.

We did a private tour of Barcelona with this same company. We were picked up in a Mercedes sedan.

I wish the ships would be consistent. A few conflicting answers on the Symphony TA. Not issue on the Anthem in May. RCCL, make a decision and get the word out there!

Is there already a thread with dates and details on what will occcur? thanks!

That’s a question I was going to ask so thanks for all the info. All but the tepanyaki restaurant shows “al a carte”. So do you get a specific amount of money to spend or is it a specific amount of items off the menu? thanks!
