Bob, 25% future cruise credit in addition to refund for current cruise. Must book within 30 days. Very generous imo.

For people currently onboard? We have not heard that.....

Please report back if the do offer something. I have some friends who are interested to know.

Of course, I'll update any changes.

We just docked at costa maya - under cloudy skies

Are they giving you any kind of a future cruise credit?

Nothing at this time, no mention of it. I spoke with the front desk supervisor yesterday and she said that 300-400 people left the ship in Jamaica and more were making arrangements from Mexico. I'm thinking they'll wait until we have the final three sea days before they offer anything.

Sometimes they will pay airline change fees, but I don't recall seeing that offered in this case.

Hey Clarea - we are on the ship. For anyone wondering; seas are calm, captain is keeping us informed. Will stop in Costa Maya tomorrow and Cozumel (again) Monday for refueling and provisions. Expected to return Wednesday at 6:15 am.

Extending drink packages at 50%, laundry 50% and have added entertainment.

They will also have to give Everyone new sea pass cards on Sunday for the extended sea days.

Many folks fly out from Jamaica yesterday so ship is very quiet and kinda nice [emoji4]

Well good to see they are making preperations for avoiding the huricane. The entertaining part is all those people who lost their heads over changing St Thomas to San Jaun, now they have all three ports changed, cant wait to see the thread of crying babies mad a Royal for this even though its not something anyone can control.

Rude - changing a port due to mechanical and changing an itinerary due to weather are completely different.

Why come here and poke the bear.....

This is currently a cat 3 will be a cat 4 by Tuesday. The only speculation is what Track it will take, but it's real.

Royal won't say or know anything until Sat/Sun part of that is because weather is unpredictable but also because people won't have an opportunity to cancel - they don't want a ship half full.

The ship will steer away from the hurricane where we go is the question.

It's a mystery cruise for 9/3 sailing

Visitors to Bermuda can not rent cars, motor scooters, yes. Other ways of getting around are buses, taxis, peddle bikes, and ferries.

Any recommendations for a private tour company

Can I ask how you got around, did you rent a vehicle? Would you recommend renting a vehicle, any tips?

Following - we sail next Sunday so please keep the ship in good shape [emoji6]

We are also affected by the itinerary changes and disappointed in missing St Kitts

Looking forward to reading your live review

Great review - we will be doing this same itinerary in Sept.

So after a nice dinner at 150 Central Park, and a drink or two or four at the Jazz Club, I stopped into on the marijuana-scented restrooms. (Seriously, am I the ONLY one who has noticed that smell?)

 

THE MAGICAL TOILETS OF ALLURE

Anyway, I have a bad track record of cell phones on cruises. Those of you who remember by Independence of the Seas review will remember that my phone was "lost" (ahem) while on Labadee. Miraculously, it was "found" after I offered the Labadee steel drum band $200 as a reward. MAJOR EYEROLL...

 

And this time? Well, I headed into the bathroom and when I went to flush, I saw - my iPhone in the toilet. Oh, no! What is it with me and iPhones while on a cruise? The worst part is -and I'm sorry for being graphic but I've been honest up until this point, so - I don't know if the phone fell in before or after I peed. :o

 

So I hesitated for about .1 second and then stuck my hand right in there and pulled it out. At the sink, I washed it with soap and water (because, the pee! Egads!). And here is the miracle of all miracles - it kept right on working. And no, I don't have an Otterbox or some other waterproof case. I just have a cute, slim, non-protective Kate Spade case on it which serves no purpose other than to look good. (To me an Otterbox case is like orthotic shoes for your iPhone. I wouldn't be caught dead with either!)

 

So...are the toilets on Allure magic? I guess so. Another close call with the phone, another victory for me!

Thank goodness for Kate Spade, protective and CUTE!

Whew - Just found this review and have spent two hours reading every post :o - what a great review

We are sailing in September and are officially excited thanks to your review!

Thanks

We are sailing on the Allure in September; different itinerary but I am looking forward to hearing all about the ship.....

Looking forward to the remainder of your review - we are sailing the Vista in January; booked a Havana Cabana Balcony :)

Great thread - following

We have been to shipwreck as well but really want to try something different

We cruise in suite cabins; in January did the royal family suite with two bedrooms two baths it was perfect for us as a family of four. We have done the royal suite just the two of us and the Jr Suite coming up on the Allure in Sept (first time in a Jr).

I enjoy the extra space larger balcony and access to the concierge to book shows, dinner etc (don't have that with a JR)

Looking forward to your review, we sail 9/3

We had an inside balcony #11297 and it was nice. kind of smaller then past cabins we hadin the pasted but it was fine. didn't care for the bathroom sink. I could barely fit my hands under the faucet

Thanks

Hope you enjoyed your trip

We found it was the best beach we were at on our cruise and with Shipwreck an easy walk it was perfect.

Thanks Keenguy - we may hang out at carambola and stroll to shipwreck, hoping the beach is a bit better at Carambola

Sent from my iPhone using Forums

Front rows closest to beach go first then they start filling the second row etc. might as well get a full day in here..it's beautiful for swimming and snorkeling. Hungry....take a short stroll along the beach to Shipwreck for lunch although beers at Carambola were only 6 for $15 ( last Friday 2/17).

We've been to St Kitts and loved shipwreck, are you saying we can walk to shipwreck from Carambola? We are thinking of spending the day here, how long of a taxi ride would you say it is?
