I love the 70s Party, but I'm not opposed to different ships changing it up. Like Allure has Momma Mia...so 70s theme makes sense. It would be great id there were 50s and 60s party on the ship with Hairspray...and so on.

I've wondered about the Spring of 2025 because there are like 6 weeks in which I don't see it schedule to go anywhere.

Thank you everyone!!!!! I was worried that I could book and it would later get cancelled. I'm sure it will be a new experience.

It looked like it should be sailings for 2 ships. One that went out of Rome and one out of Barcelona.

Hello! With the 2025 European sailings dropping yesterday, my family is looking at a 7 day Mediterranean cruise on Allure of the Seas. What I found strange is that there are 3 dates sailing out of Barcelona leaving on a Sunday (Oct. 5, 12, and 19th) and 3 dates sailing out of Rome (Oct. 2, 9, and 19th). Thinking it is a glitch I msg Royal for a verification and they said it is interport sailing. So....is the ship only taking a portion of cruisers out of one port and picking up more later???? Seems weird but we've only sailed out of the US. Would love some feedback 🙂

I would like to think if an excursion cost ME more, I would get preferential debarkation. I am annoyed when the smaller ship in port gets to debark an hour or 2 sooner when both ships are there. Nothing was noted about the cruise price it was a notation on the cost of the same excursion presented to different ships.

On my most recent cruise on Oasis there were 32 pinnacles....imagine how fun it is to be the bottom 2.

Is it so much the loss of snacks or loss of perks that were earned? It seems like every turn everything is costing more and services and benefits are getting reduced.

And that must mean that when there are snacks for the before dinnertime Diamond members wouldn't want to be in there?!?!?!?

Wow...

With all the added expense the steward should visit my room 5 times a day.

Ooooooo like it... I will covertly raid the towel cart when no is looking and hide my deceit by leaving piles of dirty towels in the hallway no where near my room....big pile....like raked leaves!

It's not drama to feel bad about losing service and paying more for the service that has decreased. I personally only use a towel/wash cloth once. As suggested I will ask for more.

To be honest I have expected Royal to quit giving out sailing reductions for the most part until after the final payment. That way no one can reprice and they can keep the monies that were already spent. Ships are filling up even though prices have went up...so why would they discount if they don't have to. I am booked for 3 upcoming cruises and all three have very few rooms available.

I live in N/E Pennsylvania and last year on Ovation I was in jeans the whole time regardless of the restaurant. Packed carry on only and selected what would be most needed. It isn't the way I go every cruise, but when I pay for dining...as long as I'm not in swimwear, I dress as I please.

Was on Oasis in 2021 and Dennis Charles was the most entertaining CD I've seen so far. Appreciate the list!

I was on Oasis 2021. I felt there were a few areas showing some age but overall a beautiful ship 🙂

Went to Alaska on Ovation back in September. The ports were beautiful 🙂

You are correct if you assume I am anti KSF. I feel everyone should pay for their fare. Don't assume I hate kids. I'm not anti kid just discounts that don't benefit everyone. And the occupied seat could be taken by a paying kid for all I care.

That's not true. Restaurant have just so many covers. We've had cruises where they sold out on the dining pkg. Ships are now being fill to the brim.

sorry to hear, had always wanted to try out

Are seniors sailing free? Wow I can't wait LOL

You are correct that Celebrity may have less kids...but it will also be more $$$. By cruising when school is in session and not at holiday time, one would think the ship's population would be low on kids.

As you said it is lack of supervision. So of course my family would want to avoid this problem. And before you suggest I sail on "adult" cruises, I do not want to be on an "adult theme" vacation. Just because my family isn't 12 and under doesn't mean we don't like family friendly activities. As for KSF, I hate promo that I end up subsidizing because it doesn't pertain to me. So many of the KSF families stand in line at guest services removing their grats so I in turn can pay a higher rate that the cruise line hikes it to. If you thinks it's unfair to have a 6 year old pay full fair...then maybe there should be a sliding price that correlates to the child's age. Regardless...I think everyone should pay. But I digress, since I do not know the actual ages of the vandals, KSF most likely isn't related to this problem. Unfortunately this behavior will make it that all kids will get a bad rap.

Makes it difficult to book. We try to book during the school year. But it is no guarantee that the ship's kid population will be low.
