Pinging @Traveler and @mom2mybugs , traveler has been multiple times and I believe mom2mybugs just went to similar ports, if not the same ones.

We ate there in July, best Fish and Chips I've ever had, but we live in a land locked state so maybe no real comparison. Wife had the shepherds pie. I would go back and eat there again.

That is true, and I did look for you among the other 5997 people on board the Allure.

Yes, this is correct, I have a Harmony sailing in October, plan on using my Diamond+ discount on board if the on board price is reasonable, if not, I won't buy a package. I will just go to the Diamond lounge or the Suite lounge and have drinks there.

For me, yes, this is the case, I'm Diamond+ now, so if I want to buy it and the onboard price is reduced I will use my 30% discount and buy it, otherwise I won't. My actual point was, if the price is to steep I will leave it alone, I will either use my Diamond privileges (3 free drinks) or Diamond lounge or Suite Lounge and get the drinks I want. I will not freely just pay any price, it has to be justified and worth the price IMO, then I will pay it.

Sea days we are usually in the Solarium if we can find chairs, otherwise we are wandering around people watching. Hopefully we will run into each other.

I wouldn't relay on getting an email from Casino Royal, I would just occasionally continue to call them and check on your available offers. I was getting emails from them every week and I haven't gotten one from them since the end of June. There is also a web site you can put in your last name and C&A number for available offers, but I can't find the link.

It's still giving me the error, so it is the site and not on your end.

I think you would love Oasis amped or not, I've been on Allure 3 times, Oasis 1, Harmony 1, going on Harmony in October for #2 , have Symphony scheduled for 2020, Oasis 2021 and Allure again in 2021. To be fair I have Freedom schedule for a B2B in 2020, that will be my 4th and 5th time on her.

I get what you are saying and I agree, you have to find a product you like and probably stick with it, I've tried NCL, Princess and Disney, I chose Royal. We've all seen the post on here from people that post 1 time then they are gone, Royal probably wasn't for them. I've actually started DVR'ing a show on AWE channel called "Dream Cruises" I'm probably way behind on this, seems like it's been out there for awhile, but it has opened my eyes to a few things, mostly things that I'm really glad that Royal does the way they do them, also ports of call, there are some really beautiful places out there and places I saw that I said, no way I do not want to go there, even saw a ship that is half cruise ship and half cargo ship, it cruises really tiny ports in the South Pacific, looked really cool though.

I just used Chrome and got in, haven't tried IE in awhile.

I think @Matt will point this out, free is not free, you are paying for it someplace. I think the decision that people will have to make is do they enjoy the product that Royal is delivering. I personally like what Royal is selling, so I plan to keep sailing Royal no matter what the drink price is. I may jump over to Celebrity but I will stay loyal to Royal. I happen to be Diamond plus, so I get the 3 free drinks and the Diamond happy hour every night, but I still bought the drink package on the Anthem GC and probably will buy it on my next cruise in October.

I was in it this morning reviewing my set sail pass, so I'm sure it just temporary.

I just tried mine and got the same message, so it appears that it is an issue, probably doing site maintenance.

More than likely yes, it is a temporary problem. If it doesn't clear up, clear your cache or try a different browser.

The Captains welcome party is usually on the first formal night and it will be held in the promenade, yes, a professional photographer will be available to take a picture with the Captain if you want, you do not have to purchase the picture. I believe they are usually serving champagne also. The Crown and Anchor top tier event is usually held on one of the first sea days, there is a minimal C&A level that can attend, I can't remember what level, if you qualify you will have a special invitation delivered to your cabin for the day and time.

I've sailed fall cruises for the last 4 years, usually around the middle of October and they typically do not have any decorations out that I remember. BTW, I'm also on the October 13th Harmony cruise.

There is not a charge to my knowledge. Allure turned the Solarium into a Brazilian steak house at dinner and there might have been an upcharge for that, that may have been what you read.

Royal has a curfew for the kids so they go to bed at a reasonable time. I agree with everyone else, close to the elevator should not be an issue.

Yes, should be all ships, typically not vice versa, as an example, they will bring a chops steak to the MDR, but there is an upcharge.

Depending on what you plan on drinking, what we do is use the refreshment package to order a mocktail and the order a shot of what liquor you want. As an example my wife likes Lava flow's with Kraken, if we have the drink package we just order one, if we have the refreshment package we order a Lava flow and then buy a shot of Kraken, not much less expensive but a little.

Told you it was extensive.

Pretty extensive list that I found awhile back, I use it as a reference. Cruise Packing List.pdf

If I understand what you are asking correctly and I'm envisioning the shoe organizer that hangs over the door, yes, 1 1/2" is fine, if anything the cruise ship doors are not even that thick. I'm assuming you will hang it on the bathroom door for extra storage?

Have fun, taking this cruise as a B2B in June 2020.
