JulieRose Posted December 31, 2016 #1 Share Posted December 31, 2016 I know there is ALOT of info on this site but so much of it is outdated that it's hard to tell what the real deal is. I have a few questions that some recent cruisers can probably help with. - Do they still do the Prohibition Party? If so, sign up at guest services? If not, did some other thing replace it? - What movies are being shown currently? - Is Starbucks still included in the Ultimate bev package? - Is there a max age restriction on the zipline? (My 85 year old grandfather can't wait.) - Is there anything you wish you would have known about the ship before you went that you didn't? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted December 31, 2016 #2 Share Posted December 31, 2016 I don't think Starbucks has EVER been included in any package...they are a "stand alone" business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DisneyDatknee Posted December 31, 2016 #3 Share Posted December 31, 2016 You can't use the beverage package at "starbucks" stores and I think the Allure only serves starbucks at these "stores". It's not like Cafe Promenade or Lattudes where you can use the package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too light and you may not make it across. Too heavy and you might descend at a rapid rate rather than going horizontally. I'm trying to find the information you seek. I found the following on Royal Caribbean's website for Royal Caribbean's other zip line, located on Labadee ... Restrictions: Minimum Height: 48 inches Minimum Weight: 75 pounds, Maximum weight: 275 pounds http://http://www.royalcaribbean.com/shoreExcursions/product/detail/view.do?ProductCode=ZL26&DestinationCode= I found a post on Cruise Critic that says the following ... Allure - minimum 75 lbs, max 275 lbs Labadee - minimum 75 lbs, max 250 lbs Click on the little blue arrow after the name "Sharod" to see the post and the rest of the thread. Here is what someone on another forum said ... The weight limit is at least 75 pounds and not more than 275. You have to be 52 inches tall. I think it is the same age limit as the wall. Here is another Cruise Critic post ... It is 75 to 275 -- and they have a scale to check it. Here is a link to a Cruise Critic article about a zip line fatal accident that you might want to read ... http://http://www.cruisecritic.com/news/news.cfm?ID=2469 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NARZHOKIE Posted December 31, 2016 #5 Share Posted December 31, 2016 The zip line on labadee can go down according to the wind last year when I was there if you weighed more than 195 you could not ride cause it was down wind you would be going to fast at the end.

That is not an issue aboard the ship, which is what the OP is asking about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Already did that one (see profile pic) but he is concerned that they might turn him away based on age. He's the healthiest 85 year old I ever met and can't imagine that they would turn him away so long as he signs the waiver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clarea Posted January 1, 2017 #15 Share Posted January 1, 2017 I also did see what you have stated so I am confused on what is the current policy.:confused: What I stated is the current policy. When RC came out with the latest incarnation of the beverage packages, they stated (in writing) that the licensed Starbucks venues were included. Within a day or two, they backed off from that and went back to the current policy. Hence the confusion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chandom Posted January 1, 2017 #20 Share Posted January 1, 2017 So what does topic 8 mean?:confused: It means that the beverage packages cannot be used at the licensed Starbucks venues, which are currently only on Oasis class ships. What Bob said is correct. Only three ships have a licensed Starbucks (Oasis, Allure, and Harmony). In the case of the three ships listed. They have Cafe Promenade and Park Cafe that serve hand crafted coffee house style beverages using Seattle's Best coffee beans. All other ships that have a Starbucks logo at the cafe fall under the "We proudly brew" segment. Sent from a mobile device Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BekkaW Posted January 1, 2017 #21 Share Posted January 1, 2017 So what does topic 8 mean?:confused: The simplest answer is that you can get premium coffee at Cafe Promenade, Windjammer, the MDR and speciality restaurants. Premium coffee includes 'Starbucks like' latte, cappuccino etc. You can not use the package at the seperate Starbucks kiosk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
