I arranged for an announcement to be in the compass on the 1st day as it was my husband's birthday. I called Crown and Anchor and they helped me do it. There was a $25 charge for it. Curiously, we noticed that there were no announcements on our last cruise on Serenade.

I called Crown and Anchor, and they said it has to be completed onboard. I'm hoping to reach out to the Diamond Plus concierge and see if it can be done through them.

Please don't flame me for my question...

 

I am going on the Enchantment with my mom and son (14 months) in about 2 weeks. I was wondering if it would be a faux pas to bring my 14 month old to the Welcome Back party that is held on the morning of arrival in Nassau??

 

I've been to many of these but never paid attention to children being there or not. My son is super friendly so he wouldn't be a crier. I just don't want to be THAT woman who brought her kid and everyone else complains.

 

 

***Now that I wrote that he'll probably cry simply because kids like to make their parents out to be liars ;)

I've seen 3-4 children at the Welcome Back Party on smaller ships. Shouldn't be a problem.

Catalina is at EN_Concierge@rccl.com

 

 

 

Carlington is at EN_DiamondConcierge@rccl.com

 

 

 

These should be working links with an underscore already inserted after the ships letters.

 

 

 

I've seen announcements in the past in the first day compass although I think they were always placed specifically as guest services messages, not passenger messages. But hopefully if passengers can also have messages in the boarding day compass, the concierges would know how to do it.

Thank you again, Gina!

On Enchantment - Right now the concierge lounge concierge is Catalina. The diamond lounge concierge is Carlington. They will remain until mid way through June. Both of them are lovely people and provide excellent service.

Thank you Gina!

Do you (or other CC members) know if they could help me place a guest announcement in the Cruise Compass on boarding day?

I would also need their emails.

Thank you in advance!

Good day!

I am sailing on Enchantment of the Seas next month with a friend of mine whom is celebrating her birthday the day we board. I'd really like to have her birthday announced in the Cruise Compass that day.

Whom should I reach out to in order to inquire?

Thank you for your help!

Could someone tell me who will be the concierge on Enchantment during the May 16 sailing? Many thanks!

I had friends on the Enchantment last week and they were able to purchase the package onboard. Enjoy!!!

Were they on the 3-night or 4-night cruise? Per current (public) promotions the beverage packages are offered on 4-night cruises or longer.

I too hope this is the case! I just booked a 3-nighter on Enchantment for mid-May and just stumbled on it in the Food & Beverage Reservations area. I'd hate for it to be a "mistake", as that would be pretty disappointing!

Our group of 4 will be on Allure on March 23. I am thoroughly enjoying your review! Don't keep us in suspense! ;)

Hey guys,

so if I see a rate for a room that was less then what I paid originally can I call and get upgraded? It's past final payment and there's only 3 days until the cruise. Thank you! :D

Definitely give them a call to see. They should upgrade you IMHO.

Good luck!

We have:) a grande suite for our next cruise. (on Indy) I know we can use concierge lounge. If there is a Diamond Lounge on the Indy ? ,if so, can we use that as well ? We are not ' Diamond' .....yet.

 

Thankyou

The Diamond Lounge is available for Diamond, Diamond Plus and Pinnacle members only. Suite (Grand and up) guests may use the Concierge Lounge.

Have a great time on your cruise!

Hi - myparents are going on the May 4 Western Caribbean Allure sailing. Can anyone provide their cruise compasses? My mom loves planning and this will help her! Also, if anyone has a copy of the Vitality at Sea menu she'd love to see that as well.

 

I'm on the Nov. 9 Allure Eastern Caribbean sailing and looking for the cruise compasses for that as well!

 

Thank you!!

I found the Western Caribbean Cruise Compasses for Allure in this review. You will need to scroll through for the pictures of the Cruise Compasses.

Happy cruising to you and your parents!

I've only gotten half way through this thread, and I can't wait to finish it later today or tomorrow.

Thank you so much for posting!

I just found this, from February 2014.

UPDATE: THIS IS FOR EASTERN CARIBBEAN - MY SINCERE APOLOGIES.

I, too, would be interested in these.

Absolutely LOVED your review! I've been on Allure once (and Oasis thrice), however, I will be back onboard Allure in less than 2 weeks.

Thank you for taking the time to share!

Are there coffee makers or refrigerators in the balcony rooms?

 

I have heard you are allowed 1 bottle of wine per person over 21, is that true?

There is a mini refrigerator - stocked full of snacks and non-alcoholic beverages. Coffee makers are in the suites only.

You may take 2 bottles of wine (750ml) per stateroom. Policy is below:

http://www.royalcaribbean.com/customersupport/faq/details.do?pagename=frequently_asked_questions&faqId=309&faqSubjectId=333

Of course one could argue that the size of the bottle should not be relevant in an unlimited package, larger bottles could actually reduce consumption..."16oz is all I want but now I have to get two 12oz's - that's a loss to RCCL. Unless there us another reason.

 

Good to hear on the Guinness and hope it is ship wide and not just a friendly barman! It was an asterixed drink last picture I saw so maybe they've seen sense!!

The Fosters Oil Can is 25.4 ounces.

I don't remember what the Guinness ones were - though I believe 16 ounces (maybe 16.9) was about right.

I have read that not all beer is included in the select package for $40, but can anyone who has recently sailed and used this package confirm which specific beer is not included? And is that the same for the other packages also?

Chimay is also not included as it is a 750ml bottle. (This is the same for all packages).

Here's a good idea of the drink list. Beers in the pub are the first pictures.

I have heard that Fosters and Guinness are excluded no idea why!

The cans are more than 12 ounces, that's why they're not included. My husband was able to get draft Guinness at the pub in December 2013.

On our cruise in December on Brilliance, we had the Premium Package. We could have Jägerbombs, but not individual shots of Jägermeister. Go figure!

I will be sailing on Allure of the Seas on March 23. As a promotional deal, we received quite a bit of onboard credit for this cruise. I want to purchase my Premium Drink Package when we arrive (in order to use the OBC), however, I wanted to know if we would be charged tax since we'd still be in port in Florida.

When I sailed on Millenium (in 2011), they wrote down the drink package on a carbon copy receipt and manually logged it onto our bill when we were in international water (I'm assuming to avoid me paying tax).

For those that have purchased the package onboard and in a US port, were you charged taxes?

I love your sense of humor! And the posts - they are great! Keep 'em coming! :D

Just a note: they do not remove anything. The partition either slides or swings, depending on the ship.

 

:)

Thank you. I was searching for the right word, and knowing "removing" was not correct - I tried it anyway. :)

Guess who needs another cup of coffee! :D

This was on Allure...

 

Thank you for the picture, Nick. My husband and I are sailing with family on Allure in 3 weeks. We'll be requesting our balcony divider to be removed as well.
