  1. Thank you Captain, I am aware, however there are two similar topics posts. In addition it was posted prior to the confirmation of the Allure. I apologize to all for being redundant and superfluous.
  2. Personally, I love the Allure. My first sailing on her was a transatlantic to Barcelona March 2020. We got off the ship into an entirely new world as the pandemic shut the globe down. The Allure ended up back here in Texas and we did many more cruises on her. As with others, I was just anticipating a different ship, something new and exciting. What does excite me about the Allure is to see her AMP'ed changes. Hopefully some new restaurants.
  3. I assume the $1 and $5 is tip cash? I tip all bartenders and beverage server $1 per drink and the $5-$10 goes to the waiter in specialty restaurants, room service, or porters. My bank roll is limited to ~$500/day $3,500/week. The $5k/day is safely avoided.
  4. Pure genius. I’m embarrassed I didn’t recognize this sooner. Thank you
  5. Brilliant and very wise. A lightbulb moment. It is all about 1) purchase points earned and 2) redemptive value? So practically speaking, instead of taking cash for casino play, I am better off charging my casino play (slots) to my Seapass card, which is charged without fee, to my new 3% cash back credit card? In effect, the $100 room charge is theoretically $97. Ashley, I owe you a dinner at 150 Central Park. I’ll put it on my Sailpass card for a 3% discount!
  6. Today, I feel your anguish. The news of the return of the Allure is deflating. The Western Caribbean is not really a “destination” location, so why not give us a “destination ship” to compensate? Make Galveston great, not mediocre.
  7. I’m a bit underwhelmed with the news of the Allure coming back. As a Texan whose home port is Galveston, I was expecting a ship fitting the glory of our new terminal. As the 4th largest cruise terminal in North America, I was hoping for the Wonder or a Quantum, or Quantum Ultra-Class. After all, Royal’s competitors have their two newest ships in port and Port of Galveston will host its 5th cruise line shortly. Galveston is apparently still the step-child. Does the AMP’ed Allure at least have a Playmakers and Hooked Seafood?
  8. We are Stuart and Lisa from south Texas. Our first time on the Rhapsody and looking forward to getting back on a smaller ship. We’ve heard good reviews from passengers and crew.
  9. What CC is that, and can you redeem OBC on Royal Caribbean?
  10. You are correct, US$ only. At least in the Mediterranean and Australia.
  11. Here is the Instant Credit Next Cruise Desk awards from late February…
  12. I believe these type of tournaments are by invite only based on slot play history. I’m Signature and received mine a while ago.
  13. Here is the offer I received a while back. Harmony sails out of Galveston and I’m only 3 hours away, but I’ll be in Ghana Africa on a mission trip and cannot make it. 2024 SLOT TOURNAMENT SERIES - HARMONY 08/17/24
  14. Isn’t the Brilliance puttering around Australia and the Coral Sea (on one prop) for a while longer? We did a B2B Oct-Nov last year out of Brisbane. Love every where and every moment there. Going back despite the 18 1/2 hour flight from DFW.
