An update on Allure Suite Lounge Feb. 2022. Confirming there is 11am-11pm complimentary soda, wine and beer in the Suite Lounge bar.  The Suite Lounge was packed every night.

How does it feel with so many days cruising?

@Ampurp85 Sounds like you're doing a bit of work on your cruises. I'm interested because the more I can work the more I can cruise! Do you find it easy to do the work you planned? Do your peeps know you're on a cruise? I usually keep folks on a need to know basis...you don't need to know I'm on a cruise if I'm working!

@seabird So I had issues with teams and zoom. I connected and for the first few minutes it froze and lagged. After that it was fine and I didn't loose connection. This however could be the case of such reduced capacity. That means less people trying to use  it when I was. I ended up making a few WhatsApp calls because of the lag at first. It was infinitely better on both port days.

Thanks for the feedback. Interesting it's better on port days. I'll keep that in mind.

@Ampurp85 Can you (or others) comment on the internet speeds? I'm on Allure for Feb. and will need to work. With the "surf and stream" on AOS in December, my experience was a slow connection.  I could work via email, but Zoom calls were ridiculous. (We had to resort to talk...wait 5 seconds to hear the response....talk...wait for response.) My hope would be to be able to attend Zoom calls as needed and desired.

Wondering if my cell phone "cruise ship" data would be any faster. It's ridiculously pricey but for important client calls might be worth it.

I've recently had a similar experience as others in this thread. I submitted the online form for 3 cruises separately (Dec/Jan/Feb) and after 2 weeks no response. I took the advice of this thread and emailed the pdf forms (one email with 3 pdfs attached) and the credit showed up within 2 days. In the text of the email I noted the key details about each cruise.
