Sometimes Royal will offer a transfer from the port to an airport. Also they often do have shuttles that offer transport to the airport, which means you could arrange a shuttle from the airport to the hotel as well.

Not true. You could play max bet and never get a win: so $5 bets with $100 may only net you 20points, while $.50/1 bets could get you 50+ points.

The CL looks similar to all the ones on deck 4. It's a shame because I loved watching people zipline when it was the 2-floor situation. But Allure got MJ, Playmakers and a full ELF so I will take it.

Call. Or there is a possibility they will move them for you since those venues won't be opened when in port.

They don't sell or change bookings after a certain period. You can change a name on a booking up to maybe 3 days before the sailing. Basically if you wait until boarding day you are SOL. They deny boarding to people with the wrong personal information. If your name is not on the manifest and spelled the same as your documentation, no boarding

You can select who will be dining when, even when your dinning is linked. It doesn't even automatically choose both people when you share a room.

You will be trying GK not GT. Freedom has the kitchen version.

I just realized that Allure was my first Oasis class and suite experience. She also my most sailed ship, which will become Oasis in September. Food looks good, hopefully it tasted just how it looked.

I love how your photos always paint such a detailed picture. Australia and New Zealand are on my bucket list.

@Lovetocruise2002 My brother and I agree with you. We really lucked up in Egypt because they labeled everything. I am pretty picky and gave somethings im allergic to. My brother only eats fish and poultry, so we always need to know what's in something. @JohnK6404I'm glad the taxi worked out. But I would agree that it would be better to be earlier than late.

As other has stated no bottled water is free. I do believe that if your child is under 6, they don't care as much about you sharing your bottled water with a refreshment or DX package. But if the child is over that, you best bet is to either bring a reusable water bottle, buy a water package (12/24 liters of Evian) or bring a dozen of water.

I don't know if the app allows you to make appointments. I know you can secure an open booking on the app. You have the option of being a walk-in or scheduling an appointment, which you do by putting your name and stateroom on a sign-up sheet in the front. The best process is to go on the 1st or 2nd day because they will give you a bottle of champagne. **Ediited to correct myself.

You are right, for a European bathroom, it is actually very big. The room does look pretty good. I have stayed in some European rooms that were half that size despite housing a king size or double beds. As a "walker" I like that the area looks walk-able.

"Loin" of cod sounds so crazy to me. I am glad you made it without shenanigans. Hopefully the weather holds.

I find all the pizza on Royal to be quite garbage. This is probably because Chicago has some of the best pizza in the world to me. I am not a fan of the meat plank but the meatball gigante and calamari are great enough to consider the apps the best part of GK. I think the calamari and soup are the only apps I eat at GT. I miss the garlicky prawns at Jamie's and the new burrata app is too sweet.

So my birthday is this month, is that why I have it only for my Sept cruises?

Well I see it for a cruise I have in Sept....so can't only be for you.

We always welcome a photo of a fur baby . I hope the flights and travel are smooth.

This happens plenty of times, unfortunately. I believe what happens is that since the casino is linked to your Crown and Anchor account, when that gets messed up, it affects your club Royale account. Your points and status should be fine in the long run because they can see what you played and add up the correct points. I personally have dealt with this issue with a whole other person attached to mine as well as my brother having two accounts. They merged and removed, so everything has been fine.

If the reservations are linked then yes one person can check in everyone on the app. The app allows you to select a check-in time without filling out everything.

If Jamie's had the old menu it would rank #1. But the new menu means it is ranked under the Giovanni's. I used to hate GT, the table version, but since sailing a couple of different classes with it, I would tie them. GK pizza is garbage imho but the have great apps and decent mains. GT has some of the best minestrone soup and calamari. Truthfully Royal has done okay with their Italian restaurants and you really can't go wrong either way.

In most cases the entertainment options won't post in the app until the day of sailing. If you are sailing Oasis, Quantum or Icon class you will have the option to book certain entertainment on the app and in cruise planner.

If it is sold out, then it's sold out. They can't sell inventory they don't have. Someone could cancel but with the cruise past final payment and sailing soon. Its on a prayer. Also if they do get a reservation, the entire balance would be due. At most you can try to add them to an existing reservation if the room can hold them but you would be subjected to prevailing rates.

You can order what you want. There is only one menu with options based on sun, water, etc. However, the menu as a whole is very seafood oriented. So, you might be hard-pressed to find apps your wife might enjoy.

Celebrity elite and elite plus gets happy hour, like the old diamond members used to get on Royal. As people said status match is not the same as a perks match. Lots of loyalty programs will match status but you are subjected to their perks at that match.
