The carry-on wine allocation of two bottles per stateroom is only allowed on embarkation day. In any other port, US or otherwise, they will hold your wine until your last night.

I have not been there, but I did go to this area of Orient Beach: http://www.royalcaribbeanblog.com/2013/10/08/excursion-focus-bikini-beach-st-martin

Have you considered renting a car? Might solve two problems at once: storing your luggage and being able to get around town.

Grease just premiered on Independence on the current sailing, so I would expect it to be on your sailing.

Two. Technically speaking, it's two different bookings and two different sailings. They just happen to be one after the other.

Depending on your version of IE, that could very likely be the reason. I'm a self-admitted IE hater and greatly prefer Chrome or Firefox over IE.

By virtue of this post, no I am not. Which browser are you using? And are you on a computer/laptop? Or mobile device?

Usually minimums are $5 per hand. I might have seen $10 here and there, but I always find it less than the local casinos by me.

I'm not ignoring you, but every time I scroll past this, my wife is out of the house.

Not many craft beers on Allure. The Pub is your best bet for the greatest variety of beers.

Interesting, that is an improvement for the guest experience.

I tell that to my wife all the time

It is definitely confusing how the pricing works exactly, but Marc is correct that the price you see is the discounted price. I think they should make it a bit easier to understand the exact pricing difference, but I think they went for simplistic (one price to display).

The dining packages require guests not to be allowed to see their first reservation. It will be made for you for night 1 or 2, and once onboard you can change that and/or book reservations for your other dining credits.

You are correct and the limit for glasses of wine on the select package is less. About $8 per glass.

Welcome Michael and Andrea!

In my experience, you can book reservations for complimentary dining in advance. That being said, I do know the Quantum class ships seem to operate differently in Australia/Asia than in North America. Perhaps one of our Australian friends can share their recent experience?

Are you referring to booking a dining package?

If I were you, I'd wait. I am no economics expert, but there is an ebb and a flow to everything. The pound is down now, but I suspect it will rebound sooner or later.

Everything is the same when using a TA, the only difference is payments for the cruise are made to the TA (as well as any changes to the cruise booking, like canceling or changing rooms). You still manage shore excursions, dining reservations, spa reservations, etc on your own via the Cruise Planner. I used to find it fun to manage it too, but I figure let someone else sit on hold with RC to deal with re-pricing or some other mundane task.

That is an awesome idea

Try searching YouTube for adventure of the seas royal suite videos. I found at least 5, and that can be a good way to see what's there.
