Meals, Drinks and Internet should have been in your cruise planner a while ago. As for Excursions, they should have been in there a few months already. I am traveling in August and I have everything booked already, MEALS, DRINKS, EXCURSIONS, ENTERTAINMENT.... all done.

I am a Travel Agent and the first thing I do with my clients is put a reminder in my calendar and my CRM that the final payment is due, FIVE to SEVEN DAYS PRIOR, in case they I cant get in touch with them for a few days......

I am on the Allure in August for my 25th Anniversary.... I hope and pray we don't have any issues...

Do they have any options for the LADIES?

The less I have to bring the better. Does anyone have any idea what they charge for Tuxedo Rentals onboard the ships and is Tuxedos all they have (Suits, Blazers, Dresses, Gowns)?

Please keep the UPDATES on the Allure coming as I am scheduled for my 25th Anniversary on August 4th out of Ft. Lauderdale. Current Itinerary consists of - St. Kitts, St. Thomas, & Nassau, Bahamas..... Keeping my fingers crossed..... If they cancel trips how far in advance do they let you know and do they try to accommodate you on any other ships?

I think I found a better one that will not block as any of the ship outlets.

I thought I read somewhere that you can communicate with others in your party through the app with a messenger like function. Is that so?

Thanks Matt, great information....

Don't they supply a Hair Dryer?

What would be the best option for CRUISE INSURNACE?

Is it really necessary to buy Travel Insurance?

Would I be able to Royal UP on a cruise that is fully paid for already? and how would I go about place a BID to Royal UP?

Let us know how Jimmy Rhodes is when you get back, I am going on the Allure in August and he is supposed to be the CD then as well.

From what I was hearing RCI was giving a FULL REFUND and an FREE Equivalent Cruise. Is this true?

This will be a big chunk that RCI will have to bare. Depends on the Insurance Policy.... Looks like they will cancel 3 Cruises costing them about 7 million of lost revenue per cruise (avg. Cruiser pays $1500/person & avg. 5000 cruiser on this ship), that is 21 million in lost revenue. The repairs would have to done and the cost of that will be on the Contractor assigned to do the initial work on the dry-dock. But I believe someone said it earlier, RCI must look to build a Dry-Dock to handle the large ships that are being built for them. The time cost of sending the ships overseas for dry dock work will almost double and that is also a lost of revenue. To have a ship out of service one week instead of two weeks, will save approx. 7 million in revenue loss.

BY THE WAY....This is a 25th WEDDING ANNIVERSARY CRUISE....

Already purchased the Deluxe Drink Package with the VOOM for both of us. purchased and cancelled twice to get a final great deal of $57/day/person with the VOOM.... I will definitely be abusing the drink package.... I have the Deck Plans, but I also wanted to ask about the ROYAL APP. Doesn't the Royal APP help you get around as well. Does it have the Deck Plan or can you look up something in it and it will tell you where to go?

Eastern Caribbean - St Kitts, St. Thomas, Nassau Bahamas Not to too worried about off the ship, wanted things to do on the ship, entertainment musts, etc as well as what to avoid

Eastern Caribbean - St Kitts, St. Thomas, Nassau Bahamas

I will be going on the Allure of the Seas in August and I was wondering what are the most important things to see or do? As well as the things to see or do that are not so important?

Since I am flying in the day prior, I could run out to the store to get some essentials for the ship, examples are shampoo, body wash, sunscreen, etc. Would it be worth it to run around the day prior to get these items or just get them on the ship?

Do they ever put out a listing that can be referenced or is there any special way of getting this information direct?

Thanks for the Quick reply.... By the way, do you happen to know who the Activities Director is going to be?

Is there an UPDATE to this LIST? I am looking for the information for the Allure of the Seas
