As much as we love Royal ships, we sailed Princess to Alaska and would definitely choose to sail Princess on any future Alaskan cruise.

Lionesss, If you have time and/or the occasion: would you please ask what will happen with entertainment when the Allure moves to 3 and 4 day cruises out of Florida this fall? We are looking at booking a couple of short 3 and/or 4 day cruises when Allure moves back to Florida in the fall of 2023. We really enjoy the current Entertainment on the Allure in the aqua theater, ice shows, Blue Planet and especially Momma Mia. My hope is they will have the same shows, just not as many of each show. Thank you!

Has anyone heard of changes made on the Allure when they start the 3 & 4 day cruises?

In all of our pre-covid sailings, I sent an email request for a table for 2, about 10 days out from sailing, to the rcldining@rccl.com, included our names, sailing date, ship and reservation number. Within a couple days I received a reply confirming our request and most times listed a table number. Most cruises were on Oasis Class ships, but not all. Fast forward to our first cruise post-covid on the Oasis, I sent the same email request to the same email address I had always used and heard nothing back. I sent a second email about a week later, only 6 days out from the cruise, and still no reply. As soon as we boarded, I looked up in the RCL app and found our table number and proceeded to check the actual table in the dining room. It was a table for 4, not 2 as I had requested. Right away, I went and waited in the line to talk to the dining room head waiter. He told me there were no tables for 2 available and he would put us on a waiting list and get back to us within 24 hours. We never heard back from dining at all. I have to admit I never checked back either, but we ended up with nice table mates and made the best of the situation. Maybe we'll have better luck next time.

I still can't see the video🤔, but I hear it🤷‍♀️

We were on the Oasis this past December and we used our Starbucks card every day. We earned points/stars on everything we bought at the Starbucks kiosk.(usually a coffee each daily). However, I could not get a coffee with earned points/stars I already had. Really just the opposite of what you said.

Yes! https://thetexastenors.com/events/the-texas-tenors-charter-cruise/ On their website it lists their concerts included in a charter cruise. Sometimes entertainment for the charter cruise is only included for those going/paying for the charter cruise. Other times they perform for all passengers. It just depends on their contract with RCL

Oasis had no Christmas decorations when we boarded on Sunday, Nov 27th. 2 days later the poinsettias appeared. Then on Wednesday they started putting up the tree in the Promenade deck along with a few other decorations. Thursday they started putting up the large lighted balls that hang from the Promenade ceiling. Overnight Saturday night, the gingerbread village was set up next to the Starbucks kiosk. By the time we were leaving the ship on Sunday morning, Dec 4th. the ship was decorated.

We are using SAS Transport Service. $15/person https://www.ridesas.com/html/returningcustomers.php

I'm guessing what you have saved in 26 cruises of NOT paying insurance would cover the cost of this cruise fare. Call Royal to officially cancel so you receive the refund of taxes, port fees, dining, wifi and excursions, then consider the loss of this actual cruise fare what you paid to be self-insured for all your previous cruises.

no pre-booking available on Oasis 11/27/22. 😒

Come join our roll call for the Nov 27th Oasis sailing, its a small (but mighty) roll call so far😎

We would prefer the bed by the closet because we can sit on the sofa, which is closer to the balcony, and have a nice view of the ocean. It certainly is a personal preference.

Looking at the deck plans, it looks like 3598 is below the walkway around the skating rink. The Comedy Club and Jazz on 4 looks to be a bit further forward.

With 4 people in your current cabin on deck 3, I'm guessing you have a category 1N Ocean View cabin. If you change cabins to another 1N category Ocean View you will keep your "kids sail free" promo and it won't cost anything extra as you are changing cabins within the same category. I have never been on deck 3 so I can't speak to the noise from the ice rink, but I do know the skating rink is in the middle of the ship. With the Ocean View cabin being on the outside of the ship, it may only be a walkway above you. If my choice was between paying $600 more for an ocean view cabin (NOT a category 1N) or less money for an OceanView Balcony, I would book the ocean view balcony. Because you are already concerned about your active 5 yr old, you would just have to be vigilant about using the child proof lock when you are not on the balcony. In the end, only you can decide how stressful it would be to have an Ocean View Balcony cabin. IF you choose the Ocean View Balcony, I would choose the one towards the back of the ship so you are close to the Boardwalk. There is a lot going on in the Boardwalk area for kids, face painting, balloon making, the carousel, Johnny Rockets.... Hope that helps, enjoy the cruise!

If it matters: Most Ocean View Balcony cabins, with * (with occupancy of up to 3 or 4) on the Oasis Class ships, including the Symphony, have the bed next to the closet and sofa/bed next to the balcony.

For both DH and myself, renewed passports received 37 days after the day I mailed applications: Filled out the form on the state.gov website and printed out, signed, and attached photo. It had a unique bar code. Also signed up with my email address to receive status emails. Mailed application with old passport book and check to the Philadelphia address on Monday, 7/18/22 priority mail so I would have tracking number. Received email on Friday, 7/22/22 application was received. Received email Saturday, 8/20/22 application was approved Received email with USPS tracking number Monday, 8/22/22, passport book shipped. (I could see in the tracking number it was shipped from HOT SPRINGS NATIONAL PARK, AR 71913). Received both of our new, renewed passports today, 8/24/22, 5 weeks and 2 days after we brought applications to the post office.

I am fairly certain all 3 of these cabins have the bed next to the balcony.

We sailed this exact itinerary on Majesty of the Seas in 1996, it was our first cruise. Majesty seemed so big and larger than life back then, that first cruise still has very fond memories. We sailed the Majesty again in 2016 on the 20th anniversary of our first cruise. It was a nostalgic cruise to say the least.

Is check-in just after midnight EST?
