After you take your cruise on FOS would you come back and post about your experience? I see a lot of people post that they will be cruising on a specific date, but haven't seen much feedback after their cruise. We'll be on FOS January 19th-22nd and I want to get any tips that can help make our experience better. Thanks

Hi, I read on another post (which I cannot seem to find again) that you could use the UDP to eat at a specialty restaurant at 5:00PM and 9:00PM on the same night to maximize the value. I was on Oasis of the Seas June 23rd sailing (with UDP and staying in a suite) and I was told that I could not make a reservation at 2 specialty restaurants in one night and that UDP was limited to 1 specialty restaurant a night for dinner and lunch on sea days. So, what's right? I tried calling RCL, but the answers were all over the place. Why is it called unlimited if you cannot eat at more than 1 restaurant a night? TY

When you have the UDP you can eat at any specialty restaurant any time the restaurant is open, if the restaurant can accommodate you. Generally, that means as long as they have a table available. There are a couple of exceptions- primarily associated with the Ala carte restaurants (Playmakers, Izumi etc). For those restaurants, you can only go once a day. I have never tried to make more than 1 reservation per day, for lunch and dinner, so I don’t really know whether there is a rule about making multiple reservations, but that wouldn’t surprise me. I’m guessing they would limit you to 1 reservation each for lunch and dinner and any other restaurant that you may want to visit would be on a “space available” basis. The statement that you would be limited to only 1 restaurant each for lunch and/or dinner is inaccurate. Frankly, I cannot even manage to eat both lunch and dinner at specialty restaurants on the same day - it’s just too much food - so the thought of 2 evening meals is more food than I could ever eat. But it’s not forbidden.

HI. I am new to this forum. I have been on 3 cruises in my lifetime and have one booked in December on the Allure. I have to know, how do you go on cruises 2x a month? Is this a job or are you retired? Just curious. I have never seen someone go on so many cruises! ps. have you been on the Allure? What do you think of it?

Good morning, Jennifer !!! So glad to you have you join the Blog. It's a great group of folks and everyone is generally friendly and agreeable. It's a nice change from some of the other larger cruise forums.
Currently, we live in Florida and have reasonably close proximity to all of the major cruise ports. That certainly helps in being able to cruise often. I am semi-retired; retired from my 20+ year job in August 2020 but am now back working part time for the same company doing the same thing !! Dan is still working full time...right now. Our plan certainly was to fully retire and cruise as much as we wanted but COVID changed a lot of those plans. Since we cannot now cruise, Dan decided that it was prudent to just keep working until cruising resumes. Those changes may come about soon...or not...depending upon what happens.
Even when we lived in northern Virginia (we relocated to FL in Nov 2020) we were able to cruise fairly frequently. We both got a lot of annual leave and we maximized our time off by booking cruises inclusive of Federal Holidays. It was a great gig while it lasted !
The reason that it looks like I have so many cruises booked (which....I guess I do...) is b/c there are so many COVID-related Lift & Shifts from previously cancelled cruises. I have never EVER had this many cruises booked in advance before. I usually would have 8-10 but never 30 !! We have also benefitted from Royal's casino program. We love to gamble (particularly on ship) and our seniority in their rewards program has granted us a large number of complimentary cruises as well as attractive upgrades over the years. Unfortunately, almost all of those "freebies" for this year have been cancelled. Boooooo.....
We have been on Allure and have a few cruises scheduled on Allure (10-3-21, 10-10-21, 11-12-21). It is a FANTASTIC ship. If you have been on any of the Oasis class ships, you will be familiar with the ENORMOUS variety of things to keep you busy. I love, love, love the O class ships. They are the BEST thing that ever happened to cruising, IMO. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Allure to anyone.
