I was also concerned when I read that before my first cruise. Everyone wore flip flops or sandals with no question.

It depends on the price of the new cruise booking. We also received the credit due to the Oasis mishap and re-booked on the Allure May 19th which was cheaper. They applied the amount to the fare, minus the taxes and gratuities. The left over you receive AFTER you return from the new cruise and can be applied within one year. We're booked in January to use the last of the credit.

We just returned from our Allure cruise. We stayed one night at the Holiday Inn Express and left the car in their garage for $5 a night after the first night. We did a beach excursion on St. Kitts this round, but have done the tour of the area which included the plantation house. San Juan was change from St. Thomas routing so we opted to just walk around Old San Juan and around the forts. Nice walk and very close to the port. Bahamas, we did the Blue Lagoon Deluxe Beach excursion. I'd recommend it and plan to go again. The walk from the ship to the ferry launch was very congested but once there it was awesome.
