  1. Going on the allure in January and will be booking excursions through the cruise line. We have on board credit to use. Wondering if we have to prebook excursions or can we wait to do it on the ship. Worried the excursions might be sold out before we get on board? Do excursions sell out a lot on the Allure?

     

     

    If you book before you board, you have to pay at the time of booking and won't be able to use your OBC.

  2. Royal's FAQ section had this question answered but I'm kind of confused. It says no alcoholic or non-alcoholic beverages but doesn't mention water specifically. Are they strict on this for bottles of water?

     

    Then in the last paragraph it says water bottles will be inspected for alcohol in them.. we'd just want to bring one for each of us per day so 14-15 bottles total in a duffle. Allowed or no?

     

     

     

    And yes I know the water on board is fine, filtered, blah blah.. ;)

     

     

    We sailed on Allure 10-9. We had the cab stop at a nearby Walgreens...purchased a case of water and taped an extra pre-printed luggage tag to the top of the case...the water showed up to our room before our luggage!

  3. Was in a JS on Allure last week. CK seemed very under utilized with over 6000 pax on board. We stopped in right after boarding the ship and were able to make dinner reservations in the time slots we wanted without issue (we only reserved it for the two formal nights). Also, after asking very nicely, we were permitted to have lunch there on embarkation...surprise and delight!

  4. We have them, and use them to walk around the area, because the sand is very hot and the walkways as well.

     

     

     

    This last time in August we were on Barefoot beach and the entrance to the water was actually the sandiest it has ever been, with a little broken shells at the waters edge.

     

     

     

    We wore our water shoes anyway, many did not.

     

     

     

    Some of the other beaches have rocks and some as big as boulders....

     

     

     

    Yea you should take them.

     

     

     

    We found cheap ones at wall mart and our good ones we actually got at Target.

     

     

     

    Our good expensive ones only last two years.

     

     

     

    Enjoy Labadee, we do.

     

     

    Thanks for your feedback. We are approaching Labadee now and it looks and feels very calm. Leaving San Juan yesterday afternoon was quite choppy...in the evening, we had a great view of the water in the pools sloshing back and forth and spraying 7 or 8 feet in the air!

  5. We are headed there shortly and have never been. Is the water in the swimming area rocky at all? We are fortunate enough to be sharing one of the Nellie's over water cabanas, so any knowledge of that area in particular would be appreciated. Thanks to all for sharing your knowledge with us...it's greatly appreciated and makes each cruise better and better.

     

    Thanks,

    Mark
