Allure dry dock?

[39august]

When is Allure's dry dock, please? Will she be fitted with the Suite Lounge and Coastal Kitchen on deck 17 like Oasis?

Allure's dry dock is scheduled for next month. Royal has not publically revealed specific plans for the dry dock.

Their website does have deck/cabin plans that have dates before and after the drydock.

Thanks for the info, I had not noticed that.:)

[39august]

I looked at those and deck 17 is the same in each. I guess we'll know soon enough if she's due next month.

Just off Allure yesterday. Per the Captain and Hotel Director, they are adding more suites, suite only restaurant, moving izumi down to the private dining area inorder to expand the windjammer seating, setting up the dynamic dining arrangements (although wont be active until at least 4th quarter), carpeting, changing ritas to sabor, and some other arrangements. She crosses next week then drydock.

Yes, but there´s no change in the deck plans except for different cabin categories. Even the new cabins which will be built in (like the new GS instead of the secret balconies) are not in the deck plans valid May 19th and later.

After dry dock there will be a Coastal Kitchen restaurant.

That's too bad they're dirching Rita's. We really enjoyed the foods, drinks, atmosphere, and concept. An "interactive" restaurant was a brilliant idea,

[PositiveLad]

Wow, has it really been five years since her launch?

 

Doesn't feel like she's even close to needing a dry dock yet.

 

Madness!

Agree, one of my favorite pay venues. We not only did the Fiesta but also went a few time during the cruise for lunch. Loved the food! Going to miss it in January :(

Boo, I enjoyed Ritas when I sailed on her before.

Happy Days!

Having eaten at Sabor two times on Oasis last fall and just last month returned to Rita's, 2 times on our B2B, Sabor wins hands down. Yes there is no Fiesta, but the quality of the food is so much better.

...setting up the dynamic dining arrangements (although wont be active until at least 4th quarter),

 

 

Wonder if "setting up dynamic dining arrangements" means changing the main dining rooms into the 3 different concepts?

As redecorating the three decks of the MDR can only be done during dry dock it´s pretty likely that this will happen. You can´t block off one deck of the MDR during a regular cruise to redecorate it...

Yes, its obvious that such a massive undertaking would occur only during drydock. Will be interested to see what they do; the changes and pushbacks on the dining programs just made me curious frankly IF that would occur.

 

At any rate, we will know after drydock.

Fiesta was a waste, especially if you have a drink plan. Food was good, but i would have rather tried the red snapper for lunch on the ala carte plan.

 

Viking Crown lounge is being eliminated and converted to suites. the "secret balconies" were closed off after the 3rd day of the cruise after easter, terrible that they couldnt wait another week to put up the walls!

Seriously the Viking Crown Lounge is going away?

 

:( feels bad man. That was one of my favorite venues on the ship

[transam84]

Curious about renovations. I am going 15 Oct. Dining and most shows open. Sabor is a selection, main dining room is an option every night, no mention of dynamic dining, and no Costal Kitchen yet. Nothing seems very different. I'm all booked with standard stuff. Main dining, Giovanni's and Chops. Guess we shall see if things change after dry dock.

[letsgocrusing]

Rccl rep just told me Izumi will not be getting the habachi table that Oasis got in dry dock. [emoji19]

[cindivan]

We are on the June 7 sailing from here are The dining options listed for us on that same date:

 

150 Central Park

Giovannis

Samba

Chefs Table

Izumi

Choppes

 

Traditional and MTD.

The statement about the VCL is incorrect. The chapel and associated lounge are being changed into high end suites just as on Oasis. The VCL is being converted to Costal Kitchen and the Suite Lounge, also as on Oasis. The Suite Loung and Costal are for Suite guests Grand Suites and above. Costal Kitchen serves breakfast, lunch and dinner. The Suite Lounge serves drinks from 5:00 to 8:30. Chefs Table is also now located in the old VCL. The old Concerge Lounge on deck 11, and 12 is now the Diamond Lounge

[cindivan]

Coastal kitchen is not an option for us June 7 and we are in a suite where we would have access to that. Maybe they will add it to get on board but it currently is not showing as an option

[steamboats]

cindivan,

 

Costal Kitchen does not show up in the cruise planner. You can´t make any reservations. As long as your Grand Suite and above (or Pinnacle member) you can just go in and have a meal.
