BTW, since Bella's fur was whipped frosting, it had no shelf life.

 

No more doggy😓

Hope it was a very tasty massacre! Laura, hope you had a wonderful birthday 🎁.

Curious at this point if you would book with a genie again?

 

Not likely, the program is wasted on us.

Definitely have had fun, though

So what have you had the most fun with this trip?

 

Not sure yet, I'll poll the others

Is that because you have most of the perks already as a pin? I just reached Diamond on our last cruise. We've only sailed in Star Class just curious as to your thoughts.

 

Also regarding the Royal Up post you made, do you have to be booked in a Sky class room to get Star Class offers? or any suite class booking can see the Star Class offers?

 

I always love your posts while cruising. Thanks!

I am wondering this too. Wondering if a cruiser as Gold (or Emerald) would benefit of it.

I'm guessing Gibraltar around 1-2 am?

Partially. As a Pin we get priority seats, no need for reservations, up to 3 bottles of wine, CK access, SL access, etc..

 

I just can't eat or drink this much. Honestly love the room even though it vibrates like crazy. 

 

I may look for a good deal on a 2 bedroom GS in the future and ala carte it for a lot less $$$, or just book two connecting cabins.

 

Not sure if a JS can bid on STAR

LOL it sure does! We were on Harmony during hurricane Irma, Maria, Jose etc... got held out for an additional week. Every the ship docked it felt like an earthquake. Love that room though. We stay in the Villa Suite now (6 times) and prefer it over the Aqua Theater room.

Are your cocktails complimentary in the CK suite lounge during the evening hours?

Yes, as well as beer and wine 11-11 on Oasis ships

I may have bought 100 shares of Royal @ $41.90 this morning 😎😎

 

Actually afternoon for us.😉

 

 

[joand452]

We're booked in a JS on Harmony in May (fingers crossed we go) and the other day I received the Royal Bid upgrade offer and the included offers were all full suites.  There were three one-bedroom GS the other day; sold out now.  

 

Last year, we had a D1 (oceanview, large balcony) on Anthem, and out upgrade e-mail included full suites as well.  

 

Maybe it has to do with C&A tier?  We're D.  As of this morning fares had increased by almost $1k since we booked last Spring.

But it doesn't matter when there is happy hour or beverages in lounges since you have the deluxe beverage package included in STAR class right John ?

[flyguyjake]

Star Class is really an all inclusive ticket and the beverage package is above the deluxe. Starbucks and the candy/ice cream shop are included too. We have received bottles of Dom included as well.

Last night's water fountain show.  Note the color lights on the stage.  More on that below.

 

 

Threading the needle.

 

The Captains ends his daily noon announcement with "All is well aboard Allure of the Seas".  Tonight he backed up that comment by placing a happy face in the Aqua Theater. #CaptainsWhoUseEmojis

 

 

Tonight's sunset.

Curious what app are you using? Does not look like MT.

Nice to read. Once, when I win the lottery, I will consider it. 🙂

Looks good. I noticed the other screen shots on your earlier posts and it looks like you can get a lot more detailed information.

Thank you. Cheers!

As you zoom in you get depth contours and detailed harbor charts.  Pretty good app, for free.

Just downloaded it and going through the tutorial. Looks cool. Can't really do too much since I am not on a shop at the moment.

It's designed with pleasure craft in mind.  It's powered by Embark, the online version.  https://letsembark.io/core/map

 

OpenCPN is an Android equivalent that also runs on Windows or Mac.  That one accepts actual electronic charts and is very detailed.
