Greetings, go to "Before you Board" in the drop down go to "Shop Gifts and Gear" then go to "gifts and gear aboard". Everything should be there.

It's not there. That's the thing. I wonder if it has been discontinued. I was just on Allure in Dec., and the packages were there. Now they are gone. :( I wanted to order a package for my next cruise.

There used to be a link on the RCI website where you could book Romance Packages and even have flowers sent to the stateroom. Has it been removed? Am I looking in the wrong place? If it has, any suggestions on how to get a price list for flowers?

Thanks for the replies.

Thinking about a Family suite for my next cruise with my BF and my best friend and her hubby. Does the, ahem, walls in the stateroom give enough privacy (sound wise)? :rolleyes:

Also, would it be more affordable for us to get two staterooms instead of a suite?

Just wondering. :o

Just got off this past week, and we were on deck 3. I would go for the larger interior on deck 3 because it is closer to dining, promenade, and the theater. When we were in our stateroom, it seemed like the ship was dead until we actually went to the Royal Promenade. I sort of liked that feeling. Plus, more space is always a good thing to me.

We will be flying out tomorrow for the cruise. Can't wait.:D

LOL! I posted then read moms_says's post. I just chuckled at the Mr. Roger's Neighborhood part.

We should not only be polite while on vacation but in general as well. We are always so ready to make snide remarks or even be cruel online. Then in real life we will act like jerks to people just because they are in a position of service (waiter, hostess, etc.) Giving respect always helps no matter what position we are in unless they are zombies. Then you just shoot them in the head. LOL

May be a day late and a dollar short, but....

 

We've done the couples massage on board- and waited until we GOT onboard to book. Can save you some money that way. It was very relaxing, assuming you both do massages well. I don't, so it wasn't that great for me. nothing against the massuse- I'm just an odd one. Still, even with that, it was really nice to be there with my wife. Totally would do it again.

 

Yes, they try to sell stuff, but "no" is fine, and will stop the disucssion. They are trying to sell you the stuff they are rubbing you with- big deal.

 

Not sure about the brownies- but my SIL sent us the brownies. They were really good. So, assuming any chocolate is as good as the ones we had were- it was very nice.

 

have fun- spoil your BF. I'm sure he deserves it.

He does. He is a great one. Would love to have him as a hubby one day.

I think I will do that drink thing though. A nice drink will come in handy.:)

First thing I like to do is drop carry ons off, explore the ship, and make reservations at places I want to go. I have a lot to explore since this, my 2nd cruise, will be on Allure.

If the masseuse would feed me brownies while he massaged me, I would never leave the ship! :D OP, have your BF try the Sunflower seed granola bars at the Cafe Promenade, they are coated on the bottom with dark chocolate- heavenly! :)

LOL! I would be the same way. I will get him to try the granola bars. He is open to anything with chocolate on it.

It looks like the upsale is going to be the big annoyance. I am good at saying no nicely, but I think I will just do a massage at Massage Envy and do something else for us onboard. EEEEKKK! I just can't wait! lol I think I am going to start packing tonight!

I agree! My husband and I did this on Allure and we didn't find it relaxing at all, then they try to sell you stuff which ruins it completely. Never had the brownies, but we did chocolate covered strawberries and champagne at sailaway which was nice!

I would like the strawberries more, but he loves chocolate :rolleyes: That's not much my thing, but if I got him the strawberries, he would really appreciate it anyway. :) Hmmm, now I am thinking about strawberries and champagne.

I've had the brownies that are delivered to the room and I enjoyed them so much, that I ordered them again for my next cruise. Just be aware that you will receive a large box with I think 6-8 large brownies inside.

I was wondering how many brownies we would get and if he would get chocolate overload :p

My DH and I did the couples massage on Labadee a couple of weeks ago when we were on the FOS. I don't know if the pricing is the same on Allure, but on FOS it was $265 on the ship and $199 on Labadee for the couples massage. After reading about how nice it was on Labadee, I decided to do it off the ship. The massage is definitely relaxing and the scenery is very nice outlooking the water, but your tranquil mood is often broken by the clanging sound of the practice zipline that's nearby. After the massage, they just give you a few minutes to get dressed before they try to upsell you on their products. It was a soft sell though and it was fine after a polite no thank you. If I were to do it again, I would book it on the ship because of the zipline noise. We've never done a couples massage prior to this cruise. I know I've given you some limited info, but I hope it helps.

 

Have a fun time on your cruise!

This helps because it gives me an alternative. The prices on Allure are the same, and I didn't know there were massages on Labadee. I am going to do some research and see which one I want to do. He might like the outdoor one, but I want to save time for the walking tour. So, I will see.

LMBO@ Merion_Mom. I never even thought about it. HA!

So my BF and I will be on Allure of the Seas Dec. 1st. I am using this trip to sorta spoil him because this year has been sort of rough for him. He loves chocolate, so I was thinking about having some ordered for the room. Also, I wanted to get a couples massage for us.

I was wondering:

Has anyone had the brownies? Are they worth the price or should I just get some from the Windjammer? Also, has anyone had the massages in the spa? If so, was it relaxing. This is our 2nd cruise, but we have never used the spa on RC or Carnival. Thanks in advance.
