Sounds great and thanks for your feedback!

Thanks and yes, you're right, covered parking and not a garage. Curious, did you drop off luggage at the porter and then parked or parked and walked luggage to the porter? How did you find the new terminal, convenient as well?

We're a month away from the Allure for a 7 day and question for those that have parked at the terminal, any pro's and con's? We reserved in the North lot (guess the North garage was sold out as it was not an option on the website). Appreciate any insight on the terminal parking and the terminal itself as this will be out first time in the new terminal. We're Diamond + in a suite so take it separate line/waiting area as in the other RC terminals?

Thanks for the feedback. We're on Allure in Feb for the first time so will be interested in checking out the Suite Deck and how it does compare to X Edge, particularly Apex, which we enjoyed to the point of being up there every day to include any lunch.

Thanks for the helpful tips!

Yep, missed it until after I posted. Thanks for the reminder!

On Reflection Greek Isles and TA in October. Recognizing everyone's interests are different but for us Greek Isle cruise newbies any particular excursions there that stand out? Any have done twice or would do twice? Appreciate any thoughts.

For those that may not be aware, Celebrity offering 35% discount on shore excursions. Not sure how long that may last. Booking ours for Reflection Greek Isle and TA next October.

Yes, diamond+ and will check out Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Thanks!

Thanks. We've never purchased on-board but was curious.

Any current/recent on-board premium drink package deals on Allure? Less than pre-ordering online?

We love Izumis on RC so looking forward to that on Allure. Did not like Raw on 5 on X Apex, in fact did not try Sushi on 5 on X infinity last month due to that and because we could order of off both Blu and MDR in Luminae and all we ordered was very good.

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!

Thanks for the recent experience @ozarkkid. Good to hear about Giovannis and I hear their pizza is good, as well, and better than Sorentos (might not be hard though they are better now than in the past from our experience). Any thoughts on the pizza on Allure?

Thanks for the feedback. We've almost always had consistently very good food and service in Chops on all the RC ships we've been on but can't always say that for Giovannis. Will be interesting to see if the shrimp cocktails have gone from jumbo to large (had that on X Infinity, not a jumbo shrimp cocktail compared to previous experiences). A first world problem that I'm happy to deal with as times are tough all over nowadays!

Same experience here, no guests allowed.

How does Chops and Giovannis compare to other Oasis class this for food and service? Better, same, not as good? Any other experiences would be good to know for us Oasis class newbies (on Allure Feb). Thanks in advance for any thoughts.

Thanks, all. The wife will be happy to hear this as she's had breakfast breads and pastries on many RC ships but said the ones on X Infinity were the best she's had onboard (better than on X Millie and Apex). We have Edge coming up after Allure, so will be interesting to see the differences. I don't partake, carbs are my downfall, but have to have my smoked salmon, cheese, and meat in the suite/diamond lounge with our glass of champagne! I know everyone is different, but any breakfast items in Coastal Kitchen that stand out?

Thanks for the responses, so far.

Was on X infinity last month and they had wonderful breakfast breads/pastries in the suite restaurant Luminae. One my wife really liked was the raisin roll and we are scheduled for Allure in early Feb and wondering if they have something similiar or what types do they have for breakfast in the suite/diamond lounges?

Do you feel like it's to many people on the Oasis class or the ship so large you don't have that feeling? I've heard both sides, so interested in feedback here?

Thanks for confirming as we're on Edge in April as we didn't have MDR/Blu menus available as we didn't on Apex..

In Michaels Club Oct 1-8 we had tea-time every afternoon at 3:30 with butlers serving us tea foods. As we don't drink tea, it was Champagne and cocktails! I lovely perk. We'd be on Infinity right now if we could (should have booked a B2B, which we say everytime we don't).

Yes, love Izumi (better than Raw on 5 on Apex) and look forward to Giovanni's as I believe they have a trattoria style place (love pizza, other than Sorrento) in addition to the traditional. Vintages for tapas sounds great.
