I did the Prohibition Party in 2016 and really enjoyed it: https://www.royalcaribbeanblog.com/2016/04/27/experiences-prohibition-party-royal-caribbeans-allure-of-the-seas

150 Central Park is wonderful and a great choice for a celebration. Frankly, I don't think you can go wrong with any of them. If your group enjoys drinking, I might pick Sabor. If you want a show, Izumi Hibachi or Wonderland are great. And if you just want a refined meal with friends and family, 150 CP or Chops works.

What is the source of that OBC? If it's from NextCruise, then it will follow you. But if the OBC came from a booking promotion from when you originally booked the first cruise, then no, you will lose it

Yup, that's no problem. We usually bring snacks to have in the room for the girls, like crackers

Keep in mind you only have up to 60 days after booking the cruise to transfer. I wrote this blog post about why to use a travel agent: https://www.royalcaribbeanblog.com/2016/06/15/why-first-time-cruisers-should-use-royal-caribbean-travel-agent

I've never used the RC credit card, so not sure how it works with redeeming them via the Cruise Planner.

Did you book on your own or via a travel agent?

You will have to wait until the following cruise to take advantage of any status gained during a sailing.

Your best bet is to speak to the Cruise Director staff. For big sporting events, there's usually somewhere onboard to watch.

Agreed. Head right for the port.

I'm doing Rhapsody out of Tampa next year for spring break. You should be very aware of the differences between Rhapsody and Freedom, especially in terms of what the ship offers (and does not offer).

@RestingBirds is right. Try again a little later.

First formal night will be night 2. The second one will depend on the itinerary.

My advice is go to MDR on embarkation day. There should be certain hours the head waiter is on duty. Ask to move your table then

This is an inside room, but you get the idea

Correct. You cannot upgrade it

I've seen the limit exceeded and I've done it myself. As long as you're reasonable and not disturbing anyone, I've never seen or heard of an issue.

Oh yes. Worst case scenario, the Nachi people can call one for you.

In this case, I feel like it's more a product of the banking system and how merchants provide refunds. You are right it's silly how quickly they charge you, but how long it takes to give it back. Seems in 2017 it should be equally quick.

Great live blog Michael! Thank you for sharing it all with us. I know I enjoyed reading it every day

Yes, you should have no problem getting a ride. Depending on the golf cart they send over, you may need to break up into separate rides. Keep in mind that the cabana technically only holds 6 guests. I doubt the staff will care, but just be aware of that.

Oh yes, doctor it as you see fit. The bottom line is the porters just need to be able to see your deck and room number.

With this latest offer, I'd be surprised if a Refreshment + Voom package did not appear quite soon
