Chops Grille is always excellent for a good steak. We always go there and Giovanni's when we cruise Royal.

Hello! Does anyone know about how low the DDP price gets on a 3 night cruise? Cruising the Allure in July. Currently, it is $79 per night. Anyone know if the price will get lower or should I jump on it? Thanks in advance.

We've been on several cruises, but the shortest one was 5 nights. This will be our first 3 night and not sure what to expect. We are a family of 4 with older teen boys. We like to hit Chops and Giavanni's usually. Do you think we should just get the unlimited specialty dining or do it a la carte? We usually like main dining room because we establish a rapport with the waiter, but thinking with only a few nights, that probably won't happen. We probably won't get off the boat in Nassau, so would hit Izumi or something for lunch that day. It's also husband's birthday - so wondering if we should just do unlimited to make it extra special? Any dining opinions or suggestions welcome! Thanks!

Yes please, @Birdtravels! We are stressing about this as we got a text saying check in between 4pm-10pm...sounds like a free for all and not a fun start to our cruise! Plus no lunch!

Sailing on the Breakaway on 8/17 and wondering what are the most recommended shore excursions for Saint John and Halifax? Thanks for any insight.
