If all else is even you could pick between Mamma Mia or Hairspray ;>)

We are so disappointed with RC; We were just told that there is no washer/dryer/ironing self service.  You have to pay to have someone do what used to be a self service option.  We are going on back to back cruises, and we are going to have clothes that need to be ironed and cleaned.  What a rip-off all in the name of taking more money out of my pocket and into RC hands.  I had been a royal RC person, but I am now thinking of jumping lines.....

I am a double P who only wears my P badge when they invite me to an event but I loved wearing my other level pins attached to a souvenir ball cap.
I think the "attitude" that came from some of the original  cadre of pinnacle soured me. 

Here is a tip...don't get trapped in a little bottle.

I have customers that are also friends so I trust their judgement. The wife "vurped" when I even suggested sailing on  her again for a repo cruise. Yet I am booked on her for an 8 night run based on the value, itinerary and a wonderful aft JS. I know I won't be as spoiled as I usually am as a double pineapple but when we dock, I'll go get my big ship fix on the "Allure" for the next 7 nights ?

For being so helpful and nonjudgmental even when asking a lot of questions!
This forum is very helpful for cruises! I will recommend it to everyone!

Yikes !  Sorry to hear about this.  Hope it all rectified itself soon

I know not everyone has a Costco Visa but 3% for all travel related expenses caused my only Pinnacle customer to put his Royal card away for the last few years ;>)

586 does show a connecting room which can be an issue for some.
The obstruction up on 11 is just the jigsaw pattern of the ships design which means you don't have a complete 180 degree panorama. Still a nice location though so hope you enjoy this nice ship. 

Definitely a"rock solid" suggestion ?

I have noticed some people have concerns about digital passes and systems failures, etc. when choosing that option. But please remember problems that can arise when making the choice to use paper:
1. Paper can get wet. When wet, information on the form can "bleed" causing it to be difficult to read. Keep the paper away from sweating bottles of water, and of course rain, snow and heavy fog. Also wet paper becomes weakened and easily torn. See #2, next.
2. Paper can tear. Treat your printed boarding pass with respect and keep it dry. Also, excess opening and closing of a folded form can cause a weakened fold seam which could cause an unwanted rip. Don't constantly do this every day for weeks or months prior to your cruise just to look at it. Examine the paper for weakness prior to putting it into use. 
3. Dogs will eat your SetSail Pass. Canines are notorious for consuming valuable documents. Many times I was unable to provide my teacher with mandatory homework because my dog ("Sarge", God Rest His Soul) made it a late night snack, I swear.
4. Paper is vulnerable to the wind. We have all seen paper blowing around the streets of our neighborhoods at one time or another. This is usually the result of someone not grasping a piece of paper in a controlling manner. Always keep a firm grip on any printed paper when windy conditions are prevalent. Of course it can at times be amusing watching someone chasing a piece of paper in the wind. Don't be that person.

Not all drawbacks to paper have been listed here but by remembering these tips when choosing the paper option it can result in an enjoyable and pleasurable cruise experience.

"Air2Sea" with the cruise line is a good option if you haven't already checked there. Add in premium seating while looking there too. Have found some hidden gems by looking at different pricing than what I, or a customer, initially reviewed while on that site.

That's a pretty strong statement.  Just because one sale to the next doesn't equate to significant savings compared the last promotion doesn't make it a scam.  
On any given sailing it's very common for half of the ship to have never cruised with Royal or cruised ever.  
Marketing promotions and sales target the majority which are those that have never cruised before.   They aren't booked yet, Royal is trying to entice them into booking.  Experienced cruisers like yourself understand.  Just because you personally didn't save money on each new promotion doesn't make it a scam.  On the contrary it proves you already have the best deal that has been available.
