I cruised twice march and end of march into april. Never saw the cream pitcher in the WJ out. That's the only place I use cream. Never asked for my own pitcher in Mdr. I cant believe it is totally gone from rcl. I bet the buffet still has it unless it's a one cruise issue where they ran out. I'll ask on the live allure thread. See if she has cream.

I sold rcl and ccl, rcl at a profit and ccl at a big loss. Dumb me bought back into ccl at 21ish. It's now clawing it's way over $12. I'm waiting. I only have 100 shares now of rcl, in the green but nothing huge. Didnt buy either back very well. I didnt anticipate cdc would close cruising so long. ..but at least I'm getting obc. I'd guess I'm back in rcl at 77, but might be wrong. I'm just holding now. Paper wins and losses. Rcl i have so many cruises I'm making a nice extra profit that way.

Many TAs here have refundable rates. That's all I book. After final payment all are nonrefundable. If you book nonrefundable before final payment right now for $100 per person in the usa you can move to another date. I'd check the UK rules though. Most things like flow rider, ice skating and rock climbing are included. Though there are private flow rider lessons you can purchase. These are first come first served. Stand in line stuff. Rcl has no packages to buy all 3 items plus tips. You can prepay tips when you book. Ask to add them or online there is a place to check to add them. The rest are in your planner after you book and not inexpensive.

I've bought towels, gold for grandeur, 2. And 2 royal blue rcl towels. I'm now full up on rcl towels. I live alone. I got the beach bag twice. Gave 1 away, 1 left.

Royal did that to me too, though not a huge time difference. They combined 2 groups into one. No notice. I didnt notice for a day and was told too late to cancel. 3rd party vendors. I suspect same as carnival uses.

Rcl keeps pushing the price boundaries to see where people will quit buying. If people quit buying then prices will come down. At some price people will just say no. I'm waiting until black friday to see if the sale is as good as in the past.

I think people are confused which you are asking about as I see some answering about welcome waters and some answering about their amenity choices. Wine is a D+ amenity choice. Or a beach bag or truffles etc. I also get 3 waters.

Once you hit D+ its BOGO anyway. Hibachi and chefs table excluded. But you can do chops plus one. Just pay for chops.

I think compared to mama mia the talent does fall, short, but it's meant for a smaller ship and a smaller audience. I saw it. I was ok with it.

You can use your 4 vouchers a day any way you want up to $14. You can even share them between you if you are like me and dont use 4 a day. Since they are limited to 4, they are shareable. Yes you can get different packages if they arent the alcoholic one.

Extra off on a NRD, non refundable deposit of $100 extra off. Maybe shows as flash sale?

No I booked izumi dinner night 2. I'm going to ask if i can bogo it. I know hibachi isnt allowed for bogo and i love sushi anyway. The friday before i booked taste of royal which is only day 6, so i know i cant go off it for bogo. Maybe i can add it as a bogo, but it isnt offered 1st or 2nd night. I'm going to ask on allure. Taste of royal isnt specifically excluded like hibachi, but idk. I might have had it booked and changed .. I've changed a few times. Lol. Now I'm going to wait for sept and see what they allow. Sitting tight until then. I'm driving to ohio and new mexico before then, leaving this Wednesday to drive quilts and quilt tops to cousins. Ohio first.

Actually they just raised the lunch prices. A month or so ago all mine were at 28.99 except chops which was 24.99. Full,price of izumi etc was 34.99 .. now they are all 39.99 discounted 10%. $7 each more. I didnt know I was buying at a good price lol. Giovanni was the same meal. Hitachi same show. .. I'm a cheap skate it seems. Izumi price good for lunch or dinner. .lol so I booked dinner.

The screen shot above is for October 2024.

Pizza was open until 3 am. If it's now closing at 2 am, that is another cut. I've been that person late at night who couldnt sleep getting pizza. Sorry to hear this. When I last was on allure we had 178 pinnacles or some such. They were complaining they got one lunch and one dinner in ck. Too many of them. ..allure had just arrived in texas then. Assume it's better now, dont know.

I'd just book for you the fixed price. Once onboard tell them your daughter will be joining for ala carte. That way your time is booked. I'm not positive the fixed price is 4 pieces, I'll know in sept. I know for the UDP its 4 pieces but not sure for booking direct. I have read ala carte can be cheaper. .. but I too booked a time and doing the fixed price for more variety.

There is a thread of expected release dates. I'm hoping around nov they start adding the next hears caribbean. Lol if you look and book a lot and new dates added ... I'd notice. But no they dont alert you. I'd watch on the thread about when releases are expected.

Treat everyone to lunch. Hibachi lunch or chops lunch or even Giovanni. Way less and same food. Just treat to 1 or 2 things. I booked taste of royal 6th day lunch sample at lunch price. Izumi set peice for dinner. Do a ala carte meal onboard. There are less expensive options that are a treat. Udp is a lot . I'd book a suite on a oasis class with ck before I'd book UDP.

No .. mine is $373 plus they will add 18% when you check out. Mine is still populating .. could be more choices coming.

Well well well... I have 3 that are 8 days and harmony just came up. Unlimited and 3 days. No chops plus 1 .. but I now have a dining tab. A week ago i didnt. I would assume 1 more day will be over $400 for unlimited pp.

There might not even be a 9 day udp. Prices keep rising and vary from date to date and dont stay the same. There was a thread a day or so ago telling people how to see planner prices... or ask on the roll call for someone to look .. no gty it will stay there, but they can look right now. I have a few 8 days for 2024 and 2025 but dining prices arent posted yet.

I'm the opposite. I dont want allure amped. Not all amps are good for everyone. I like being able to see out the aft and dont use the purple slide. I would like a playmakers added though.

If you move one out of the 2 pax cabin so there are 4 in the other cabin, for sure would add 1 pax to the pricing. Solo pays double so moving someone out of the 2 pax cabin wouldnt affect her, she still pays for 2. ..solo just pays one set of taxes and fees. .. but moving from 3 to 4 will add a pax to that price. Be patience. Just wait.

We were unable to cancel 2 days before. It says 48 hours, we were very close. There were 2 times offered and we were switched to the time we did not choose. I didnt pay attention right off to the time until the next day after I boarded. They said time has been the same and was never switched. If I had free wifi I could have found the confirmation email but let it go. It also was 100% chance of rain. .. poured.

No issues bringing food onto the ship. Renee brings a orchid with her. Its bringing off food in the ports they are sticky with and has to be sealed.
