With RCI purchasing Grand Lucyan on Freeport and who knows, the possibility of CoCo Cay being on overnight stop, I can see the Empress and Majesty being the "FERRY" type of transportation, like what exists at the Port of Palm Beach. (The Grand Classica and it's sister ship.). Just a thought!

We took a B2B on Majesty. Both cruises cost 500. for 2. We both had a free offer. 

Getting on the Mariner was an exceptional breeze! I Pad agents besides the regular check-in agents. Never boarded so quick, anywhere! 

IZumi was awesome, as usual!

Yes, Izumi (Hibachi) is included in the UDP.

Thank You! I love Izumi Hibachi

Does the Mariner allow Izumi on the UDP?

Chops was Lobster Bisque to start and 12 oz NY Steak with Grilled Jumbo Asparagus and Mashed Potato's and the sundae for dessert.

 

Izumi was the steak and chicken.

 

I don't remember my order at Jamies.

Did they allow Izumi on the UDP? We sail June 3

We were on Liberty in Nov.  but didn't try Giovanni's.  Was it that much better than Jamies?

Giovanni's beats Jamie Oliver's hands down!!!!

I would expect the following

 

Jamies Italian to replace Giovanni’s 

Playmakers to replace Sabor

some type of waterslide 

Addition of Hooked and Wonderland

Escape room

El loco Fresh to replace wipeout cafe

 

 

Extremely doubtful that you will see I fly on Oasis class ships.

Giovanni is sooooooo much better than Jamie Oliver's.  Don't do it!!!!

It is unlimited , but very small selection of drinks, if in the diamond lounge. But, as stated, it is only from 5-8 pm.  The 3 drinks loaded onto the card are used outside of the Diamond lounge. So you could drink all you want and then stop at a bar to bring something into dinner and then again for a show.

Exactly. You can have drinks in the lounge and then use the vouchers, but it is all during Happy Hours.

A friend of mine is boarding this Sunday she is freaking out. I don't blame her.

We just got off Oasis on January 6th.  No reported Noro on our New Years Cruise.

A little recap of day 1...

 

Arrived at the port around 10.15, on the ship just after 11 [emoji1303] the whole process was handled very well from our experience but I did hear/read things were a little busier later in the day with long lines in the rain [emoji33]

 

We went to the concierge lunch and it was nice, a nice calm way to start the cruise away from the mad house that is the buffet,

 

Cabins were ready around 1pm so that was good [emoji4] my case arrived around 1.15 but Julies only turned up when we got back from the drill,

 

Our drill (C2) was in the ensemble lounge and we were lucky to get seats close to the exit (we arrived 15 mins early)

 

I spent the afternoon exploring the bars etc to get some info and then got ready for dinner, we had a great meal in Murano with great service from both Nedad & Nenad! Yes both members of staff had the same name [emoji23]again a great way to start the cruise,

Thanks for all the information, we are on this cruise May 26th.

We're on the May 26 cruise with a similar itinerary. I'm interested in feedback on your excursions and excited to follow along. Thanks

We are on the May 26th sailing also.

We were on this sailing also. Fabulous ship. Don't miss the Aqua show. Absolutely incredible. Make sure to make reservations for all the shows prior to sailing. All the shows were great. Beatlemania brought back childhood memories. Our group of 6 had a fabulous time.

Dining room food was standard RCCL food. It has declined somewhat in the last few years, but still by far better than other lines.

My favorite place is Central Park. You can get the best Roast Beef sandwich you will ever have at Park Cafe. I am not a big roast beef fan, but I always have to have this when we are on Allure or Oasis.

We are Diamond Plus so we enjoyed the Concierge Lounge. Someone mentioned it is going away. Did they take it away on Oasis? We sail on that ship in June.

Our ports were Nassau, but didn't leave the ship as it dock at 7 and left at 2.

St. Thomas we just shopped around and St. Marteen we went out to Maho beach to watch the planes land right over the beach. Something I always wanted to see. Check that off my bucket list.

Allure is beautiful, the staff was constantly cleaning, and we are extremely diligent, maybe borderline OCD, but 2 of our 6 came down with the virus on day 6 and 7. So be very, very diligent, not only on Allure, but on all ships.

We were on this sailing also. We and 4 others were traveling on this cruise. We are extremely diligent, wipes, sanitizer, washing, washing, washing.Even sanitizer after reading the menu. On day 6 one of our 6 came down with the virus, on day 7 so did her husband.

The staff was constantly cleaning walls, rails, chairs, even salt and pepper shakers. I have never in our 16 cruises seen such cleaning.

Just off the Allure, yes there is still a virus going around. We are exceptionally careful, wipes, sanitizer even at the dining table after looking at the menu. Two of our travelling friends got sick last night. Still not well today.

The staff was constantly cleaning walls, hallways, rails, chairs, elevators.....

They are doing everything possible. You can't keep up in the casino, people playing slots, handling chips and cards. Not possible to clean all these things consistently.

4 out of 6 didn't get sick........yet!.

John Wing and Joe can't remember his last name. Very good show. Make ALL your reservations prior to departure.

The Aqua Show was incredible. Beatlemania was nostalgic.....excellent.

We got are it too. So did our fellow travellers. Glad they are super cleaning.

I have been taking a case of water with me for years. Just booked Independence for November. We can't take water?
