Dinner BOGO for Diamond Plus
firefly333 replied to carefree lady's topic in Royal Caribbean International
I'm disappointed izumi cut the orders so much. I can buy a lot of sushi here for $5 wednesday sushi day. I didnt mind $13 for a large order onboard but cutting it from 8 pieces to 4 is half. And other dishes cut way back allure dec 11. -
Mardi Gras... worth the extra money?
firefly333 replied to CanadianCruiseCritic's topic in Carnival Cruise Lines
I have the 14 day booked on dream with new ports to me but was shocked at carnivals excursion prices. I have booked some excursions for 2 of those ports on radiance at the black friday rcl sale at 35% off. Never thought rcl would be cheaper than carnival. I want both ncl prima and carnival jubilee but going to wait and hope last minute prices drop. Rcl harmony inside balcony is cheaper for me than either carnival or ncl. I do get rcl discounts for loyalty the others dont give. Still waiting to book jubilee and prima. But I want both. Carnival seems to be getting expensive vs rcl for me. Hard to pay extra. I'm in the same spot as OP, not wanting to pay extra for carnival. -
Considering Royal Caribbean, a few questions
firefly333 replied to Jack E Dawson's topic in Royal Caribbean International
Carnival vista costs more than my sept allure ... carnival from Galveston prices are UP imo. A inside on jubilee is at least $1200 and up. Watching prices as I'd like both prima or jubilee. I'm not especially loyal to royal, the prices are just better for me. As long as rcl is cheaper it wins for me as more budget friendly. Flying to miami next spring break and that's enough for me, otherwise I avoid holidays and kids as much as possible. -

If you each get 2 free days wouldnt that be 4 total not 6. Not following your math. -
Tier match for travelling companions
firefly333 replied to Chiliburn's topic in Royal Caribbean International
If fact on my cruise last week I know I had a letter about not being allowed to bring friends into the diamond lounge. Might still have the letter, but our diamond lounge was already overflowing. -
You can call and pick your perks but my experience is due to supply issues they might substitute random wine for what you picked. I'm getting random wine or champagne. I asked for fruit truffles. Some of the other depends on how many pinnacles are onboard. We had 179 pinnacles on allure dec 4th and they did not have access to the suite lounge and could book one lunch and one dinner in ck. Idk about breakfast or what ship you are asking about. With 179 pinnacles some of the suite perks that pinnacles get were cut back. You can do suite perks if only a few pinnacles. .. the name of the ship might tell people more answers. Pinnacles do get 6 anywhere any time drinks and free wifi.

Last cruise for a while - Vista was not great
firefly333 replied to popeyesChickenSandwich's topic in Carnival Cruise Lines
You had $600 obc and could have done pay restaurants since the Mdr wasnt as good. That's actually what I did on my last vista. I agree about smaller spaces but it was known ahead of time. Theater and comedy club are smaller and deck 5 closed in. I got off allure sunday with positive covid. B2b so I'm sure I got it the first week. Got tested onboard negative but I knew it was positive. Just saved rcl some money. I'm still positive over a week later. It could be any ship. Its winter and going around. I'm triple shot, being vaccinated doesnt stop it. Going back to vaccinated ships wouldnt help. Saying you had $600 to spend and then not spending it on upgraded food to me cant complain. Lots of threads about quality being cut in Mdr. Prices are up and what you get for it down everywhere, not just carnival. I agree about dinner Mdr. Sometimes you have to upgrade yourself. It's not as good as pre covid ... anywhere. Maybe they a higher end cruiseline. I see some trying princess and celebrity. -
Galveston didnt have a separate line outside for suites. However once inside which took a while, they were called first with key and hc.

Critical magazine article about Allure of the Seas
firefly333 replied to jeffdal's topic in Royal Caribbean International
I didnt say there were no birds on any ships. The article was about allure specifically. And I just got off 2 weeks on allure. ... the fact someone saw a bird on oasis doesnt mean there were birds the last 2 weeks on allure. .. if there were they sure werent happy at 40 degrees when we got in last sunday. Next sunday will be rough on any birds again. Texas is cold. Actually I've seen more than one bird that got trapped on a ship. -

Reservations for Aqua shows, etc.
firefly333 replied to audcc77's topic in Royal Caribbean International
I made reservations for 4 shows on allure Halloween night for dec dates. So within the 45 days after you sign in. Not sure exact date they open but I heard on the first of the previous month. -
Critical magazine article about Allure of the Seas
firefly333 replied to jeffdal's topic in Royal Caribbean International
I didnt like the fake bird calls. I had a central park balcony and got tired of them. -
Which is why I booked the 10 day radiance and the newly out 8 day on harmony. Dont know if I'm even a big coco cay fan, but just for the different port. Plus the 14 day on carnival because of the ports. If you want coco cay I'd book sooner rather than later. The price out of Galveston is sure to go up.

I've read several articles. Pelican island or some such lacking infrastructure. Lots of work ahead of them. Welcome to one more cruiseline to texas.

Royal Caribbean starving crew members
firefly333 replied to Cruisin4beaches's topic in Royal Caribbean International
Even for pax doesnt pizza close at 1 pm? Other than room service there isnt food fixed. What position for crew doesnt have any time to eat before 11:30 pm. Cookies ... that's the answer. -
Galveston ships now sailing to CocoCay
firefly333 replied to Ourusualbeach's topic in Royal Caribbean International
I thought you meant groups for just 2 days. It says there are 6 of these 8 day cruises. The sept and oct are priced the same. Back to 7 days in dec. -

Aquatheater 1 Bedroom - RoyalUp Accepted
firefly333 replied to GetToLivin's topic in Royal Caribbean International
I hope he likes sports. We had pro football all day sunday, then 2 days of soccer. Saturday was all day of college football. A few shows and movies at night. I like the aft more so than all the sports. Lol I have tons of pictures of the aqua theater, though dont know what ship you are on. I had the last boardwalk on allure. Cozumel off behind the suites here. Congrats. -
Suites require reservations in Oasis-class
firefly333 replied to mafig's topic in Royal Caribbean International
I just got off allure and they were scanning cards for pinnacles standing in line who get the same perks as suites. For the aqua show. They did have a back row roped off for seating for suites and pinnacles. I thought suites had a concierge who booked shows, not that they didnt have to book at all.
