We had a tablemate who was a recent cancer survivor...RCCL gave her (and her husband), a complimentary  dinner at Chops. No announcements, no fuzz, just a nice quiet gesture.

Being a Cancer survivor and being a Politician from Massachusetts are on two totally different ends of the Spectrum....

As others have reported Wipeout Cafe has been changed to an El Loco Fresh on Allure.  I was on her first sailing last week out of Galveston. 

Ok My bad....Must have made the changes during the Transit

Am I missing something? This seems we’re in junior high school and somebody posted about wanting to have a party for their friend’s uncle brother’s cousin who made Chief Eagle Scout. Really? Get the person a card, but I can’t really see how it warrants a threat at CC.

Our cruise planner for our 11/27 sailing on the Allure shows Wipeout Cafe featuring El Loco Fresh so now can someone explain the difference and what was updated, lol.

The Wipeout cafe on Allure was really small.I don't think RC put in a El Loco Fresh in the four day transit time to get to Galveston and i was on the last sailing.However the Solarium was closed for remodeling the first couple of days of the last cruise and people were not happy🤬

Ret MP,

Could have used you on Allure.Ran into some Uppty Retired Air Force E-7's...I think their MOS was some sort of Airplane Maintance..I did some get some back up from a Army guy who was in Iraq!!

I'm not taking sides here.  But to be fair, you could say the same about the OPs question.  The answer is in the Royal FAQs.  We all ask questions in this forum that is fairly easy to find the answer elsewhere.  AND, almost every question is answered with much more information than what was asked. And the OP's questions did include taking radios off of the ship, on shore/excursions, something not as easily found.

 

Go Army!  Beat Navy!

 

Carry on!

I agree!!

I saw a guy on the Allure with one..Sorry but it is so 2000's and it make you look kind of stupid!

Go Army!!!

Just dec can be booked, not nov. Dont ask me why.

 

But allure dec the shows can all be booked. There was a long thread Halloween night about this if you look back., 

Strange, but just got off Allure back a week ago, and we couldn't book shows until Boarding started

This is our sixth cruise since the startup. I have never been on a ship that is so crowded. The MDR line last night went back to the elevators and wrapped completely around. You can’t find a table in the Windjammer. The ship would be understaffed at “normal” full capacity, but with so many people, service is lacking.

 

I wish that I could make a happy report, but we just told our friends to try to cancel their booking on this ship.

How was the food?

Most likely fresh.  We are pretty much relegated to frozen lobster around these parts. As a opposed to the fresh St. Louis style spare rib slowly hickory smoked to tasty, tender, and perfection.

Kind of had my eye out for some cheap fresh lobster.  Pretty hard to get here in the Midwest.  Home of the gooey butter cake and toasted ravioli.

True. but i 'vote" with my dollars as the saying goes, especially these days!...A lot of cruises from Florida and Texas in my Future!!

Great feedback. We can't wait for Allure, especially seeing her in the new Galveston terminal. We're in the Houston area so we're excited to have her right down the road!

You Won't be thrilled by the Windjamer.Just got off Allure last week and the "Wind" was not good at all!

In All Fairness...Oasis class ships have there downsides as well..Just got off Allure and its not all picture perfect!!

I bet the citizens of Bar Harbor would amend this if Royal promised to only sail Electric cruise ships to their port.  Less of a carbon footprint.

Who wants to visit a bunch of Yankees anyway😀

If no one has mentioned it, you can modify or change your bid anytime before 2 hours prior to departure.

In the past few months I've noticed that there are a few threads about Chair Hogs.  While I think it is an issue, I have, what I believe is even a more frustration and a safety hazard.  

 

Moving chairs where they encroach upon or even crossing the walkways/running track.  Are these people totally unaware of their surrounding, are they just not caring, do they not give a ... about others, are they completely self absorbed, and/or are they that stupid?  

 

The crew put them there for a reason.  Just leave them where they were placed and just sit/lay on them.  Don't become a pain in everybody else's ......

If you ever spend time talking with service employees (meaning not officers) you MAY have one or two tell you they endure the tight living quarters, 7 days a week work schedule, etc., simply because they get to "see the world."  But the majority are doing so to support family members in their home country.  And every extra dollar they earn is another one they can send home.  

 

They pick up on the extra cash tippers quickly.  There have been times where there's a line of people waiting for drinks, and a cocktail server will see me and ask what I want to drink, bypassing the line.  At a crowded bar, my drink won't stay empty long, as I'm asked if I'd like another.

 

In the casino, playing at a table, I'll drop a $5 chip on the cocktail tray when my drink is delivered, and the cocktail server is back asking me if I'm ready for another when my drink is down to 1/4.

 

But let me add that whether it's the $1 cash in a bar or the chip in the casino, it is always accompanied on my part by a sincere thank you and smile to show my appreciation for good service.

 

I'm sure some (or hopefully many) will think it's crazy and unnecessary to tip, since there's something already tacked on for a gratuity.  That's okay; they don't have to change their habits.

Hey If people can't understand how the Real World works, Why waste your time trying to explain it..

Let the moron's wait in line!!😁

Beyond the daily gratuity,  do whatever you are moved to do.  Do not base your actions on the opinion of others.  It is your money. You earned it.  Do whatever you want with it.
