tmoret Posted December 28, 2011 #51 Share Posted December 28, 2011 Our last 2 cuises were on the Oasis and the Allure. Found out that Johnny Rockets does the best breakfast. Also the first few days no one really knows they do it so there is never anyone there and you can sit on the boardwalk and eat in peace and its FREE! It is also great to look out the back of the ship have breakfast while going into ports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbcruise Posted December 29, 2011 #52 Share Posted December 29, 2011 :eek: Gasp! Men only please! You won't catch us sneaking into the ladies! :cool: My guys made sure the coast was clear, I went in and snapped a few pics. Really, why should guys be the only ones to enjoy a waterfall??? LOL....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLHTCU10 Posted December 29, 2011 #53 Share Posted December 29, 2011 The waterfall Urinal is nothing to be afraid of. Ever been to France or Amsterdam? In both places I used an outside Urinal where you can watch people walk by you and they all know what your doing but there it is no big deal.

struther1 Posted January 28, 2012 #55 Share Posted January 28, 2012 or, from my understanding having read other threads, just say the heck with it and show up in the mdr in your chosen attire...formal or not yes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
e01061 Posted January 28, 2012 #56 Share Posted January 28, 2012 Do they let passengers onto the helipad area at any time? How do you get there when you are on the Allure? I would love to see the night sky and all the stars that we don't see up north! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare LittleMissMagic Posted January 28, 2012 #57 Share Posted January 28, 2012 You can get your dessert from the dining room to go - or if you like the dessert, you can ask for extra to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a very good question. I am wondering about the speciality reasturants as well. I would prefer to eat my desert back in my cabin later on. Does anyone know if this is possible?

Iluvcruising2 Posted January 29, 2012 #59 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Great thread! Thank you. The Seaview Cafe on the Brilliance is also fantastic. Check it out!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yankeechick78 Posted January 29, 2012 #60 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Tipping bartenders or servers well (as in $1-2 extra) can lead to impressive sized drinks. :D #1 secret they won't tell you... Rum Runners work. ;) Oh boy is this true. I passed out for 2 hours after 3 drinks. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janet524 Posted January 29, 2012 #61 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Yeah...I've seen that too. Sigh. The way I look at, if someone has taken the time and effort to dress up and do the whole formal thing, I'm not going to roll into the MDR in jeans. It's their cruise too. The whole dress up is part of the experience. I respect their choice. What goes around, comes around. WOW! Someone who is considerate! What a concept!

Curtzilla Posted January 29, 2012 #63 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Do they let passengers onto the helipad area at any time? How do you get there when you are on the Allure? I would love to see the night sky and all the stars that we don't see up north! To get to the helipad go all the way forward on the promenade and up the steps. It will only be closed for inclement weather (including high wind/seas). On the Radiance-Class ships (and Vision class too IIRC) there is an even better star-viewing place just above Deck 10 (just forward of the forward elevators). It's even darker than the helipad and doubles as an out-of-the-way sundeck in daytime. Get to it from Deck 10, go forward and up the steps. Make sure to take binoculars.

I would prefer to eat my desert back in my cabin later on. Does anyone know if this is possible? To go dessert?:p I've never done it, but I'm sure you can - especially if you aren't getting a lot of dessert just so that you can take some back. Why should they care if you eat it in the restaurant or in your room? The staff is almost always accommodating - just ask! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would prefer to eat my desert back in my cabin later on. Does anyone know if this is possible? To go dessert?:p It's true. I've had dessert to go from the MDR and Portofinos. Actually, at Ports, the waitress insisted that we try a particular dessert. We were stuffed and told her so, at which point she said "no problem; I'll pack it up for you. It'll fit in your fridge so you can enjoy it later." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadBoysDriveAudi Posted January 29, 2012 #66 Share Posted January 29, 2012 There is no outside seating in the Windjammer on Explorer. Outdoor WJ seating? How is it that I've never found this? I presume it exists on Freedom, Liberty and Majesty and I've just been clueless? If so, I'll have to find it on my next cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love to see the night sky and all the stars that we don't see up north! The Helipad on Allure and Oasis is normally closed to the public. It is accessible on all the other ship classes I have been on. They do have a loyalty event (Platinum and up) on the Oasis helipad (and I assume Allure). For us it was held during sail away from the first port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mechcc Posted January 29, 2012 #69 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Do you just write an extra tip on the bar slip? That's what we do on RCL and we love that feature. On the other lines we have cruised on, we have had to carry the cash and tip in cash. Consequently, we tend to not tip extra on the other lines. Seems to me that the extra line on bar slip to add extra tip would make the bartenders happier. It is also more adventageous to pick 1 or 2 bars per cruise to be your regular bar. Get to know the bartenders there. Those are the bartenders that you take very good care of and they take very good care of you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trainman-2 Posted January 29, 2012 #70 Share Posted January 29, 2012 (edited) Outdoor WJ seating? How is it that I've never found this? I presume it exists on Freedom, Liberty and Majesty and I've just been clueless? If so, I'll have to find it on my next cruise. Only on the Radiance class... The first time we were on the Jewel, we would go to the Windjammer, get out food, and sit down at the nearest table. On the forth day, the Windjammer was pretty full and we kept walking back toward the stern looking for a table. It was a big surprise when we found the open air seating area. I can't help but wonder how many people like us never found it. Here are a two photos from my files. And a video from a partial transit of the Panama Canal as we were heading east from the locks...

bluegirlum Posted January 29, 2012 #71 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Here's one: on Majesty, the spa is right under Adventure Ocean. If you're planning on getting a massage, make sure you time it with nap time. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrsPete Posted January 29, 2012 #72 Share Posted January 29, 2012 It may depend on the person working... I was told no, that I could no "cash out" my remaining OBC on the Explorer back in September. So I went to the Casino with the 3%. No, it depends upon the source of the OBC. For exampe, VISA cards bonuses are "cashable", while WOW sale bonuses are not.

LESLIEKURZ Posted January 29, 2012 #73 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Do you just write an extra tip on the bar slip? That or give some cash. Think the line prefers tip on the seapass but staff doesn't look sad when you hand them green. That's what we do on RCL and we love that feature. It is also more adventageous to pick 1 or 2 bars per cruise to be your regular bar. Get to know the bartenders there. Those are the bartenders that you take very good care of and they take very good care of you. Very true. We tried to go back to the same bar or bartender whenever possible. One bartender even told us what bars he was at when. Guess he liked the tips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mets550 Posted January 29, 2012 #75 Share Posted January 29, 2012 I have found that there are few reasonable requests the crew is not willing to accommodate, especially when it comes to food requests in the dining rooms or restaurants. RCI is great with this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
