Just checked my sea pass and it now says deck 12. Muster D03. I had checked it earlier today and there was no info.  It’s more than I knew yesterday.  I’ll keep checking for actual room #.  I have a feeling it’s probably a neighborhood balcony which is fine with me

I have a gty balcony for the September 29th sailing on the Allure.  Is there any reason why some October sailings for gty balconies have been assigned but not for September?  Wondering if it could have anything to do with the ship.

If you are asking about the Golden Eagle Sailaway in St. Maarten, we did that last November.  You can read about it, and see a little highlight video I did in this live review.

 

The portion on the Golden Eagle Sailaway starts at post 87

 

 

Thank you for the info.  I apologize for not posting the port, St Maarten, and ship is Allure. 😁

We are thinking about booking the Golden Eagle sailaway thru the ship.  To anyone who has done it, did you like it and which beach did they go to.  Thank you for any info

There is a winery located at a farm named Boone. A guy on the street told me that they make excellent screw cap vintages. 

Haha.  OMG. I remember Boone’s Farm. Strawberry Hill. Sweet and cheap.

I can't give you names off the top of my head, but more and more very good wines are going to twist off.

A lot of good white wines have the screw top. I’m talking $30-35 a bottle .  We have visited many vineyards and are starting to notice it.  

We are interested in booking the Golden Eagle thru the ship.  Does anyone have an opinion on this tour and would you know which beach it sails to?

Thank you so much for the info.  I'm going to wait awhile then give them a call.

I redeemed some points through the RCCL visa credit card.  I would like to use the points for an excursion but I have no idea where I would find the transaction on my account with RCCL.  I should say I just redeemed the points today and my cruise isn’t until end of September 

Are there any beaches where we can rent snorkeling equipment and snorkel from the beach?

Wanting opinions on the voom package with streaming.  I can get it for $13.99 daily on the Allure.  Is it reliable

Should be able to refer to the app for all the daily events and not carry around the daily compass sheet (or take a picture of it as I did on NCL.)  Also if you pay the $8 fee for messaging you can message other guests that also paid the fee.  Like all other ship messaging, you have to check it often because it does not have notifications to tell you when someone sends a message.

Was the $8 fee per day or for the entire cruise?

Aqua Mania has a snorkeling tour that we are interested in on the sand dollar. Has anyone here taken this tour?  I enjoy snorkeling but am not a strong swimmer.  Do you know if they supply the vests or collars for us weak swimmers?

You were there a couple yrs ago. You can't remember????

You deemed the food lousy after eating there only once and never went back. You are actually going to eat there more than once this time and don't want to wear dinner attire. Wear your shorts in the windjammer!

If you must know I always cruised  with my husband  who never wore shorts in the mdr and neither did I.  My husband passed away this year and my son is taking the cruise with me instead. He was the one asking the question that I couldn’t answer.  After seeing some of the responses I wish I hadn’t asked.  I never realized it would cause such a stir.  

We will be sailing Allure in September.  If we both download the RC app do we also need to purchase WiFi in order to text each other?

I agree that you are on vacation and if you want to wear shorts eat in the Windjammer.  Show some respect for the rules.  Set a good example.  You knew the rules when you made your reservation,  don't make the rest of us look at your knees at our dinner time.

Haha.  I think that’s so funny.  Seeing someone’s knees would not upset me or ruin my dinner.  I have been to very high end restaurants and in warm weather I have seen men wearing shorts and never thought twice about it.  I have already said I wouldn’t wear shorts in the dining room.  I was asking for my son. 😁  

Amazing answers to this question.  Only asking for my son.  I would not wear shorts  but he was just wondering.  No need for the snarky remarks .  Thank you

I can’t remember if Bermuda shorts are ok to wear in the main dining room.

Haha. Sorry.  I was wondering if there were outlets near the beds and if there is a clock in the room 

My son and I are sharing a cabin on Allure. I will be registering my credit card but  my son would like to have his credit card also registered in our cabin.  Is that possible?

Just got an email at 8:30 last night that our 05/26/19 cruise on the Allure has some itinerary changes.  We will be staying an extra hour in St. Maarten and losing 2 in San Juan, so they can make it to Labadee on time.  This is due to the "propulsion issues" and the fact that they will have to cruise slower. Not really that big of a deal for us.  Just glad that we are still sailing. Excited because we changed our flight (originally flying from NJ at 6:40 a.m. on the 26th) to Saturday afternoon now. Had to suck up some airport fees, but want the peace of mind instead.  Now looking to book a hotel in FLL for the night before we sail. 20 more days!! So excited now!!

I received the same message.  I was disappointed that we have such a short time in San Juan.  They made sure we have plenty of time in Labadee where they make more money than in San Juan.  It’s better than canceling the cruise 

My son and I are sharing a cabin on Allure. I will be registering my credit card but  my son would like to have his credit card also registered in our cabin.  Is that possible?  

We are sailing on the Allure in September and we can now pick our times for MTD.  The earliest time is 6:30? I guess I just assumed it started at 5:30 or 6.  What is the reasoning for that time since it could interfere with an 8:30 show?

If one person in the cabin wants to get the soda only package does their partner in the cabin have to get it too?  I saw nothing on the RCCL site saying anything about this.  I know both have to purchase the ultimate drink package.

I am taking my adult son on his first cruise.  How do I request two twins in our cabin?  It use to be a question asked when booking but I noticed it is not asked now.
