We were noticing the same thing during our Allure cruise last month! 5 casual nights (1 was Caribbean Casual and 1 was Casual White) and 2 formal nights. I didn’t need my collared shirts and Dockers!

Have a great time! I'm sure you will!

Thank you for your service!

Sounds like a plan Jane! 😊

Wow! Dream cruise for us for sure... Alaska and a B2B are both on the wishlist! We will be following for sure. Have an amazing time!!!

Our first cruise was on the Disney Wonder back in June of 2004 for our honeymoon. My wife and I had never gone on a cruise before and did not know what to expect. We decided on the Disney Land & Sea package and spent 3 nights on the Wonder and 4 nights at the Polynesian Resort in WDW. Needless to say, we had an amazing honeymoon and we caught the cruise bug!

... and a newly refurbished (aka Amped) Oasis will be in Cape Liberty/NJ for most of 2020 from May through November (temporarily replacing Anthem)! We so badly want to cruise through NY harbor and sail under the Verrazano Bridge on Oasis!

Not a detailed dry dock calendar, but the entire fleet and the "Amped" schedule! http://www.royalcaribbeanincentives.com/content/uploads/2019-2020-Fleet-Guide.pdf

LOL! 😊 Harmony is not even 3 years old (only Spectrum and Symphony are newer and Ovation also launched in 2016 w/ Harmony). Oasis and Allure are going in because they will be 10 years old when they are Amped (in 2019 & 2020 respectively). Unlike Oasis and Allure, Harmony already has all modern decor, water and dry slides, WOW bands, bionic bar, escape room, some of the newer specialty restaurants, etc. It's still a baby in the fleet 😃! I guess it will have the usual routine maintenance dry dock in a couple of years (maybe a coat of paint, a new restaurant), but I would assume it won't need any major upgrades like Oasis and Allure for at least another 5-8 years. We just booked Harmony for APR 2021!

I believe early seating for Traditional Dining is 5:00 PM (at least on the Harmony cruise we just booked for APR 2021... we just switched it to My Time). I think it either varies by cruise/itinerary or has changed over time because I remember the earlier TD seating was at different times for some of our past cruises (always around 5:00 - 5:30). We always have selected My Time Dining in the past. UPDATE: Just checked the Cruise Planner for our last cruise on Allure... early Traditional on that cruise was 5:15 PM so it does change based on ship and itinerary. It's weird that it states My Time Dining seating starts at 6:30 PM... we had 6:00 PM My Time reservations 5 of 7 evenings (picked later times on 2 port days)... you'll see the actual time slots when you make your reservations in the Cruise Planner if you go with My Time Dining. Have a great time on your cruise!!!

Did you step onto the ship or jump/hop onto the ship? 😊

Not sure which ship, but it's likely either Harmony or Symphony... you can see the water slides, Central Park, etc. I would agree that it's doubtful the new ship is this far along since construction only started about two months ago...

That's silly... that would be the ideal time to introduce them... and then after Allure is done next year, all Oasis class ships would have them...

I should start mine now too... We're 665 days out and the only thing listed in the Cruise Planner are the South Beach Cabanas at Perfect Day and spa treatments... LOL! 😂

@JLMoran @emsff02 Ah, ha! 22 months and counting! Beat ya both! @StayFrosty, sorry for the tangent! ... We're looking closely at Mariner and Navigator 4-night cruises too now, maybe we can book one in between for my wife's 50th next year... shhh, ah, I mean "30th"! 😂
