Onboard Allure of the Seas right now - any questions

[S.A.M.J.R.]

How many outlets on there top of the desk in the cabin?

[peteukmcr]

Realised there are 4 of the freestyle coke machines in the Windjammer so that helps. Also I take it back about the WJ being a zoo. It's all about timing. We went at 12:30 and plenty of tables to choose from.

[peteukmcr]

WELL you could book March 2nd 2014 with US!

 

I know but we need the days for the Adventure TA in April for someone's big birthday!

3 US style with 1 more and another European 2 round pin style under the desk

Was 150 worth it, in your opinion?

For the two of us, IMHO then yes. It's enabled me to upload photos and Patrick write a daily blog (link to be provided later) and keep in touch with family via email etc. All depends how much you want or need to cut off from the outside world.

 

Here's a link to some of my photos, all uploaded using the WiFi on board. Some are from our pre cruise stay at the fabulous Lago Mar Resort in Fort Lauderdale (that's the 2 bedroomed suite with an oceanview we got a free upgrade to)

We most certainly are, thanks.

Was wondering if you rented the "sea phones"? Pricing and performance?

[Wildcatfish]

Glad to hear you are having a wonderful time! Hopefully, the rest of your vacation is enjoyable.

 

Who is the Cruise Director, and who is the Captain?

 

Thanks for answering all of our questions.

Painfully slow?

Hi Peter

 

We are sailing first week of June and can't wait. We really trying to under pack this trip

 

Do they have shampoo and soap despensers in the shower?

 

What nights were formal nights?

 

Thanks so much

Hope you have a great cruise! Do you see anyone with a "beer bag"? It's a blue/yellow insulated bag, and the beers are cheaper than buying 7 or 8 individually. DH got one on Allure last summer...wondering if the deal is still available, so we can use it on Oasis in 2 weeks! Thanks!

No sorry we haven't rented those and to be honest haven't seen any info about them.

Shampoo and a bar of soap in the shower. I'd suggest bringing your own as we have done. Formal nights were day 2 (Nassau) and day 6 (at sea).

Yes I've seen it at the bars and people have purchased them but I don't know the pricing details sorry.

Another internet question please. Can you log into Skype? The last time I was on board, they blocked the sites that used larger amounts of data.

Yes I can login to Skype and go 'online' but to be honest I haven't tried making a Skype call.

Are your Diamond coupons loaded on your Sea Pass card, or did you still receive a paper book?

 

Have a great cruise, we will be boarding NEXT week!

[eggroll]

If you can remember

 

Do you know which for a fee restaurants are open for lunch?

 

I like the MDR menu and don't like missing out.

We still received a book but I look forward to when they are on the card as it saves having to complete each one by hand.
