Question about the packing cubes ... how wrinkled do your clothes get?..

Regular individual beach loungers are included.  There are some with a clamshell cover pictured above that vary in pricing depending on ship and sail date.  You'll find these in the cruise planner sometimes called "Beach Loungers for Two".  Price is for two, you don't have to buy it for each guest.

Here is the price for an August visit:

Oh ok.. Thank you

Yeah.l agree with the others.. pick a nice restaurant. 

Does anyone know roughly what the prices for the beach loungers are?

Love your review and pictures !

I also have this credit card but I always use to the points to take money off the actual cost of my cruise. I am even able to combine it with Casino Discounts. Do any of you ever take the money right off the cruise fare? sounds like most people just get the OBC. 

We used it once to get the free 4 night passenger fare on a cruise.. but usually we use the OBC for the booze package and shore excursions.

I'm following this. I definitely redeemed my credit a few months ago so I can use it for my August sailing, but I don't see where the credit is showing up in my CP.  Any ideas? Would I call Visa or RC to figure this out?

Just call.. told them I want to make purchases on my cruise planner and want to used my credits.. and actually got an email showing my updated OBC within an hour or two.

Who did you call? I'm going to jump on this now. Thanks for the info!

I called RCl directly .. and then they connected me over to the cc dept.. and they took care of it.. 

I redeemed my credit card points back in November 2018 for my 2020 cruise.. then I called in Feb and they put them on my cruise planner within an hour..

Do you spend most of your time on your balcony, or on the ship, below decks?

I mix it up .. like to spend sometime on the balcony.. then by the pool.. and love it at night.. hanging outside by the bar getting a drink.. nice cool breeze :)

We always sail in Feb out of FLL or POM.. not to hot , not to cold.. perfect weather..

Do you need assistance? We're here to help.... We here....have mastered the skills on assisting fellow patrons, book single cruise, multiple cruises, last minute cruises and future cruises. Just say the word!

Thank you.. My hubby and I have been on multiple cruises.. but we tend to space them out.. I booked my Feb 2020 cruise in 2018.. we just switch up vacations.. so we don't cruise every year.. like this year we are going to Vegas instead.. lol..

Can't hurt to check the other sailings.  I found my Alaska sailing next summer had the dining package down to $175 and the drink package was slightly discounted from what it normally is.  No banner stating it was a discount, but I haven't seen it that low before.

I only have one sailing booked..lol

Given past precedent, Jan sailings will be included if not by the July 4 sale, then by the Labor Day one.

Good to know.. thanks

Boo... doesn't include next year sailings

When you purchase the drink package .. it should say something like $52.00 per day plus gratuity.. so the final price should reflect it.  The drinks on the cruise ship usually cost around $8-13 per drink.. depends what you get.. we usually always purchase the package .. we like to have a few drinks during the day.. and at night.., and in the long run it saves us money.

I apologize in advance for being a slacker on my first blog attempt!

I’ll start off with the abbreviated synopsis... I have a new found admiration for all of the live bloggers out there! 

We have been so busy these last couple of days! I’m also trying to be respectful of our traveling friends that do not necessarily share the same level of enthusiasm for blogs, etc., as we do!

Cruise Details:  

• Allure of the Seas, 7-night, Western Caribbean itinerary (Labadee-Haiti, Falmouth-Jamaica & Cozumel-Mexico)
• Out of Port Everglades, Ft. Lauderdale
• 5/19/19 - 5/26/19

Cabin Details & Cruise Planner Stuff:

• Central Park Balcony (Deck 11... Port side of ship)
• Purchased the Key
• Selected My Time Dining
• Purchased the Deluxe Beverage Package
• Purchased Labadee Over the Water Cabana (Nellie’s Beach)
• Purchased admission to the Prohibition Party

Miscellaneous Stuff:

• Flight on Southwest Airlines out of Islip/MacArthur Airport on Long Island (NY) on 5/18/19 to Ft. Lauderdale Airport
• Traveling with good friends from the Orlando, FL area in adjacent cabins... they decided to drive to Ft. Lauderdale
• Our first experience on an Oasis class ship (our traveling friends were on Oasis 2 years ago)

I think that’s it for the synopsis... I apologize if I’m all over the place going forward. We’re having an amazing time and it’s only the first full day!

Will be working on catching up to today... we have to start to get ready for our first formal evening shortly! 

Following.. so excited for you!

Will be following along - we are cruising on Allure in Feb 2020 - have fun!

We are also cruising the Allure in Feb 2020.. can't wait!

Use the steam method with the shower... helps with some wrinkles..

I've waited until I was on board and never had an issue getting a spa appt on a shore day.. and usually you can see all the specials for that day on the cruise compass

Cocoa Beach shuttle.. they were great.

Hello.. loving your review and pictures
