  1. Thank you, I just didn't want the wine police to think I was cheating the system
  2. Hello! We have the deluxe drink package, our friends do not, they only drink wine at dinner. As we are on this cruise to celebrate a 50th Birthday, my questions is, if I wanted to buy him a nice bottle of Merlot at Chops for his birthday, will they let me do it and use the the discount. Either way, we are buying the bottle that evening, just curious.
  3. We go to Mexico often as my husband is from the Tulum area, this is the brand we have used for a few years. I would suggest to reapply every 2 hours or so, just from my experience. Also there is no shade within the ruins of Tulum, I highly suggest a light shaw or coverup to put on every so often https://www.amazon.com/Sunscreen-Biodegradable-Tropical-Sands-Snorkeling/dp/B00THZEFT6/ref=sr_1_5?keywords=biodegradable+sunscreen&qid=1564167661&s=gateway&sr=8-5
  4. We just purchased the surf and stream package for football. LOL, he doesn't want to take any chances
  5. I have made the horrible wife decision and decided on a cruise during football season. Does Sabor Tequila Bar have TV's that will show Monday/Thursday night football? I am the definition of Football Widow, both college and NFL, but after 25 years of marriage, I don't care, more free time for me ?
  6. We took the plunge and bought the Unlimited Dining on the Allure on 11/3. The husband is looking forward to a nice meal, then heading to Playmakers to use the $35 A la Carte credit, and drink extra beer with the drink package and watching Monday night football. ????
  7. If that is all, than I am ok with that. I would be looking out more than down anyway ?
  8. We were supposed to be on the Oasis April 7th, and booked using our credit on the Allure for Dec. We booked a guaranteed Oceanview Balcony, XB-GTY, now I'm worried about an obstructed view, does it have obstructed views? should we just change to pick our room? or take our chance? Has anyone gotten an obstructed view with the guarantee? or am I just thinking to hard about it?
  9. That's exactly what we are doing, using our refund and FCC towards a Loft Suite. We thought about the Med cruise next year, but decided on the Symphony in Sept to get the suite.
  10. As disappointed as I was last night when I got the call and email about our cruise being cancelled for this Sunday, it only took a few hours to come up with a new plan. Since it's our 25th Anniversary, we're going to catch a last minute flight to Puerto Vallarta and stay at this fabulous looking resort I've had my eye on. Since we ended up with this great credit offer from Royal, we are now looking at 10 day Med Cruise for next year.
  11. Since we are rookies, we forgot about pre-book any show reservations on the Oasis, and now we can't it via Cruise Planner. We did purchase The Key, how hard are reservations to make onboard?
  12. As we are about to head out on our 1st cruise, for our 25th Anniversary on the Oasis, I called RC to see if I could set up a romantic balcony dinner on our actual anniversary, which they will do since it is a milestone anniversary. While I was on the phone, I asked what the cap was per drink for the Deluxe drink package, I was told $12. Since it is Oasis class, I thought it was $13 since I've read drinks are a little higher. Anyone who has sailed recently know for sure? Does the casino take cash for slots and table games? or do I have to add cash to my sea pass card? And a BIG THANK YOU for all the advice and allowing me to just blog stalking the last several months. I've been wanting to cruise forever, but my other half doesn't like being on someone else's schedule, so no tours for us, just where our feet take us in port. (Nassau, St Thomas and St Marteen) I'm hoping he likes it as much as I know I will so we can go one more now that we are empty nesters.
  13. Thank you! I told them I would eat in the MDR beforehand, and just enjoy some wine while they eat ?
  14. I have a severe fish allergy (not just shellfish)that is well documented with RC. I can't ingest fish, and I also carry my EpiPen everywhere for cross-contamination in kitchens. My question is, my group really wants to eat at Izumi, can they serve me food from another restaurant there, or can I eat beforehand to just sit with them, and maybe bring in a dessert, or something.. I am at a crossroad, as my group won't eat there if I don't, and I don't want to hinder their vacation as well. (At home, at a seafood restaraunt, I'll get a steak or chicken, but just don't see that option on the menu online)
  15. I'm on Oasis in a few weeks, and grabbed it for $44 at the end of Dec, we originally bought for 49. I would buy it at that price.
  16. We have the deluxe drink package, and I'm a little confused with dinner and drinks. In the MDR, can I order more than one glass of wine with my dinner? Do they have a separate drink menu, or you can ask for whatever? Am I limited to certain wines, because I like a good Riesling with dinner Same goes for Specialty Dining, can I order more than 1 glass of wine with dinner? For the specialty drinks, I've seen different pricing, we are on Oasis in a couple weeks, what is the max price before I have to pay out of pocket? I've seen $13 and I've seen $12 (not that it matters too much, we've given ourselves a $100 budget for going over, it's our 25th Anniversary, and new empty nesters, so I plan on enjoying myself a little more than normal)
  17. US to Canada flight - you will go through Canadian Customs US to US - out of Hawaii (I'm assuming from your other post) you will go through USDA inspection at the airport, required for anyone leaving the island
  18. Yes, there are several things to see at Pearl Harbor, the USS Bowfin Submarine, Battleship Missouri Memorial, Pacific Aviation Museum, a beautiful park, and it is free to get into the park, although they appreciate donations.
  19. On the http://www.royalcaribbeanblog.com/cruise-compass I downloaded a recent sailing, and downloaded it onto my computer, then printed
