Ok, so I've submitted a bid through RoyalUp for a neighborhood balcony, upgrading from an ocean view stateroom. My question is, if my bid is accepted will we get the perks that come with a neighborhood balcony? Just curious, I mean, if we don't, no biggie. Sure would be nice though! Crossing my fingers for a boardwalk balcony though...partial ocean view, haha! Thanks in advance!

So, question for all you lovely people! We leave in 85 days, I downloaded the app and for the most part, it’s really well done. However the itinerary I see on the app raises some concerns. Our itinerary has always been St Kitts, St Thomas and Nassau. The gangway times for St Kitts is accurate, but the next day is supposed to be St Thomas and it does say that in one place, but the gangway times are listed as not even St. Thomas, but San Juan! At 12! Also the gangway times for Nassau changed in the app from 10 am to 8am. Is it possible that it’s changed with no notifications for passengers? If so, will we get a refund for excursions if we cannot do them because of this? I did book through RC, btw... I just wanted to be prepared!

Actually, I was raised in Ann Arbor, but I’ve been in the South for 13 years! Northern born, Southern by default!? Go Blue!

I just wanted to let y’all know that I made the decision to get myself the refreshment package and my son the soda package! Thanks for your help and your kindness!

Ooooo, something to think about! He would probably feel so “grown “! Lol

@mworkmanthat’s exactly how I am. Do you think my son would enjoy the mocktails, though or should I stick with soda package for him and get the refreshment package for myself like @Hoskisaid, but can I share bottled water with him? Is that allowed? I don’t want to get in trouble...

@Hoski that’s actually a very good idea! Thank you! Quick question though: can I stock up on bottled water this way?

@spiralqueen, I already plan to carry on my allotment of wine, so a 12 of water may be pushing it for me! Great suggestion though!

@Lovetocruise2002 and @twangster, it’s perfectly ok! Y’all are entertaining!

We’re on Allure of the Seas! So excited!

@spiralqueen, I have purchased the soda packages for us both. Also the Evian package of 12 1L bottles and a coffee card for myself. I just wonder if that will be enough for us! Thank you for being so kind! This is an awesome group!

@Psycho and Barb, you’re absolutely right about not enough information. I love my Coke Zero and caramel macchiatos, and my son loves mixing flavors with Sprite! I will need bottled water for port days for sure!

@twangster Thanks for treating me and my question (s) with respect.

So, I’m agonizing over the decision to keep our soda packages, coffee card and package of water or maybe go for the refreshment package for my son and I. I’m a single Mom with not much and I’m afraid to “take the plunge “ and spend the extra $100. Please, I need constructive practical advice to help me choose. I say constructive because I’ve been made to look like an idiot on other forums. Be kind.

Understandable! When I plan a vacation, I aim to make the trip as memorable as possible for us, and it's especially important for me to provide that for my son!Memories! It's all about the quality!

To me, it’s well worth the money! We only go on 1 big vacation a year ( I’m a single Mom) and I take that opportunity to absolutely spoil myself and my son!

@Sh2738, good point. Just wondering about the wait for the onboard activities as well. My son is a 12 year old daredevil, so he’s going to want to do it all!

Is the Key worth the $$? I would have to buy two packages, one for me, one for my son. I think it was priced at around $280. I don’t know how much we’ll use the internet (I’m big on unplugging for vacation), but the priority seating , private hours for onboard activities and port of call debarkation is very tempting! Feedback?

@mom2mybugs, I so appreciate your thoughts and feedback on this! We’ll go there embarkation day and take it from there. And I will also take your advice and contact RC ahead of time! Thank you!

@JLMoran, thank you so much! My son is about a year or two behind socially, so maybe he would feel more comfortable in AO!

Please help me with any general information on the teen club on board. My son is 12 and quite shy at first. He is on the spectrum as well (Asperger’s). Is there any periodic supervision in these clubs? Sorry for the stupid question...Oh yeah, if anyone has a link to a teen compass, that would be extremely helpful and appreciated! Thank y’all so much!

Much appreciated, sir! I’m seriously loving this community! So many willing to help!

This is a wonderful idea!

We will definitely be showing up early then! I’m vertically challenged (5’1”),so good seats are important!?
