Angelsea57 Posted October 23, 2014 #102 Share Posted October 23, 2014 Cupcrazy, Really enjoying your reviews and photos, you did an amazing job. Thank you so much, I know this is a lot of work. Question for you; In one of the pictures you posted from your cabin had a phone charging port, do you know if all cabins have them?? This is new, the last time we were on Allure and Oasis they did not have them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Question for you; In one of the pictures you posted from your cabin had a phone charging port, do you know if all cabins have them?? This is new, the last time we were on Allure and Oasis they did not have them. I believe the iPhone docking ports are currently only available on Allure. This, of course, may change with Oasis being in drydock. Of note though, these charging docks only work with iPhone 4 and 4s due to the older style plug. Those with iPhone 5 and newer should do like I did and order one of these iPhone 4 to Lightning Adapters: http://www.staples.com/Apple-Lightning-to-30-pin-Adapter/product_164118?cid=PS:GooglePLAs:164118&ci_src=17588969&ci_sku=164118&KPID=164118&kpid=164118&gclid=COWOkpWpw8ECFQ9p7AodJT4ATA Also, beware that in our dock (and I would imagine all of them), ONLY the LEFT side of the dock CHARGES AND PLAYS music from your phone. The Right side is strictly for playing music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nyjustus2 Posted October 23, 2014 #105 Share Posted October 23, 2014 Your review and pictures are great - keep 'em coming! Looking forward to meeting you and your "gang" in 2 weeks! By the way, is there a "glow" party on this ship? I read about it somewhere and wasn't sure if it was for the Allure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They sold all kinds of really cool Glow accessories for the party. I'm sure Nate will have pictures!! Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cupcrazy Posted October 23, 2014 Author #110 Share Posted October 23, 2014 Thank you for an awesome review. You all look like you are having a blast and seem like you would be tons of fun to cruise with! Thanks! We like to consider ourselves a fun bunch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cupcrazy Posted October 23, 2014 Author #111 Share Posted October 23, 2014 This might be a place where the Royal sponsored excursions are better than what you can get on your own. (That would be a first) Like you, the only time we have been to Nassau is when the ship has been there about 5 hours or so. (Voyager, twice on Majesty and twice on Allure). But when we took the 4 day on Majesty around Halloween last year Majesty was there from 7am to Midnight, so we finally broke down and went to Atlantis. We were pleased to discover an offseason rate for the water park through the cruise line. I think it was $59 each. Going to Atlantis was a late decision on our part. We were told of the later departure time at 8pm the night before. I just looked at the Royal Caribbean Excursion book we got on the ship and the price is $129.75. We actually saved 75 cents, haha. I like your price better though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cupcrazy Posted October 23, 2014 Author #112 Share Posted October 23, 2014 Nate, I hope you wrote this in your Guest Satisfaction Survey. That was the only negative point I made on my survey. I made sure to write in the comments just how rude this performer was. He absolutely never smiled and made us feel like and scolded us like we were the "bad" students in class!! While on vacation, we were there to have fun! Glad we found that somewhere else for the remainder of the cruise!! Oh well good riddance. "Piano Man" rocked out and we had a blast. Thank you Matt Ganim. Let The Party Begin!!! I made sure to write this in my survey. Everyone else got a 10. Matt was fantastic. I was very happy we found him up in the Schooner.

Question for you; In one of the pictures you posted from your cabin had a phone charging port, do you know if all cabins have them?? This is new, the last time we were on Allure and Oasis they did not have them. Like SpeedQuest said, I think they are only available on Allure. They will probably be on the Quantum, Anthem and possibly Oasis after dry dock. I have an iPhone5 and my phone did not fit in the dock. They are made for iPhone 4s and below. If you have a 5 or up you'll need a 30 pin to Lightening adapter. http://store.apple.com/ca/product/MD823ZM/A/lightning-to-30-pin-adapter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cupcrazy Posted October 23, 2014 Author #114 Share Posted October 23, 2014 Your review and pictures are great - keep 'em coming! Looking forward to meeting you and your "gang" in 2 weeks! By the way, is there a "glow" party on this ship? I read about it somewhere and wasn't sure if it was for the Allure. There was a Glow party. It was in Studio B on night 6. We felt it was like a big Bar Mitzvah Party. The party was a lot of fun but ended fairly abruptly after a little over an hour. I'll be posting about it later in the review.

Cupcrazy Posted October 24, 2014 Author #118 Share Posted October 24, 2014 DAY 3 - SEA DAY At 9:30am was the Cruise Critic Meet & Mingle in Dazzles on deck 8, aft. We had over 100 people sign up but only had about 20-30 show up. We assumed it was because people were up at the pools. They gave out these little Royal Caribbean note pads to everyone who showed up Complimentary fruit, pastries and coffee was served Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cupcrazy Posted October 24, 2014 Author #119 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Some of the prizes to be won at the M&M. Bottles of Wine, Allure picture album, gift bag of Royal Caribbean goodies. At the M&M last year on Oasis they gave away a free meal at a specialty restaurant for 2. They didn't do that this year. Katie, the Activities Director hosted the M&M I won a bottle of wine. We brought it to the MDR. Royal has dropped the corkage fee so we didn't have to pay. Rick won the "basket of Royal Caribbean Crap". I think it contained pens, lanyards and some other little goodies. A member of our roll call island284 made these Sea Pass card holders. Ken won this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cupcrazy Posted October 24, 2014 Author #121 Share Posted October 24, 2014 (edited) As I mentioned earlier we didn't have the greatest experience in the dining room the first couple nights. We were dripped on from the ceiling and had some pretty poor service. From night 3 on when we switched tables our service was back to Royal's fantastic standards. Because of the poor service, the Maître d' gave us a free tour of the main galley. He set up the tour for 10:30am and our guide was Executive Sous Chef, James Scott. Here are a couple videos of the tour when we were in the baked goods area... Video 2 Edited October 24, 2014 by Cupcrazy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
