We renewed our vows last March but chose to do it before the cruise on the beach with a specialist that only did this type of ceremony. It was much more reasonable in our opinion then what we would have done on the ship and still created a very memorable moment. Each couple is different and no matter how you share your vows it will be a special time in your lives.

We would like to rent a car when we get off of the ship. Does anyone have a preference?

We too are on the same sailing (Dec 8th) and have not heard from Royal about this. We knew though thanks to others who have posted here on CC. We were able to prepare ourselves for this in advance and not book any excursions that may be affected. The one we had planned to book for St Thomas will be on hold until we get on the ship and confirm that it is still doable with the shortened time in port. Still very excited about going on this vacation and can hardly wait:)

Hopefully Royal Caribbean lets us know what they intend on doing with the drydock situation. I am sure it will affect many people regardless of what they do but they need to make a decision and not put it off just in case there is a problem with another pod. It is the busy time of year for bookings so maybe that is why they are keeping it as quiet as possible. We were considering the Oasis after her dry dock next year but we won't be booking until all this is all sorted out.

We are still really looking forward to the allure in a few weeks time and won't fret loosing a few hours of port time. It only caused us to not pre-book any excursions and we can live with that. This will be our first time on a super mega ship so the ship is our destination.:) If we get to do our original planned excursion in St Thomas then that is a bonus.
