It covers all the people in your party. We now purchase a third party insurance policy for our trips that is less expensive, covers the entire family and covers a lot more of the costs.

Would you mind sharing the name of your third party insurance? 

I keep re-reading the Royal Caribbean Travel Protection plan. Does anyone know if it covers your under 18 children if you purchase a policy? Thank you!

My experience is that they, the crew, will bend over backwards for you, if it's possible, they'll do it as long as it's legal and non-fattening (well forget the non-fattening part).  I just hope that extra effort by the very accommodating crew gets extra compensation for their efforts.  

You are cracking me up today!

I am nervous that asking for special requests will add stress to my servers. Is it something that they expect, or will it make me look like a real pain?

Yes, I was also wondering how I can travel on excursions with canned water. It seems you would need to drink the whole thing in one go. I actually cancelled my water package and ended up getting the refreshment package instead once I found out that the water was in cans!

Is a travel agent helpful if you are just looking for reasonable flights with no hotel/excursions?

I am traveling to India this summer and need to fly into New Delhi and out of Mumbai and wasn't sure if I should search on my own or use a TA. 

Any advice appreciated.

I just did a tour with Rony last week. He is awesome.

Thank you so much for your suggestion. They were able to curate a perfect 1/2 day tour for us that included both of those activities. I wish you were on our ship so that my family could thank you with a drink! We truly appreciate it.  Do you have suggestions on how much to tip the driver if there are 3 of us in the "party?" I am new at all of these things!

This might be a silly add-on question to ask, but would one bottle of sunscreen be enough for 2 people over a 6 night cruise? 

As a newbie, I didn't even know I needed to print out RCCL luggage tags. Do they email them to you?

My suggestion would be to ditch the RC excursion, and hire a driver for the day.  Then you can do both easily.  I use Rony's Tours - He offer's both.  

Rony’s Private Tour – (Free Style) EXCURSION YOU ARE THE CAPTAIN!! - Roatan Tours, Cruiseship Activities, Excursions, Zipline Canopy Tours with Ronys Independent Tours, Roatan (ronystours.com)

Thank you so much for this suggestion! I sent an inquiry to Rony's just now to see if it is possible! So appreciate this advice. 

Hi! A family member is driving into Fort Lauderdale for our cruise. Any suggestions on excellent parking for the week we are on the ship?

I was on Symphony last month and was really looking forward to the duck.  It was listed on the menu, but our waiter said unfortunately they didn’t get their duck shipment and had none to make and they were replacing it with a chicken dish.  I ordered it.  They used the leg and thigh of the chicken and cooked/served it like a duck dish.  I was very happy with it.

Chicken l'orange! I could do that! Thanks for sharing your story.

How far is it from port to the sloth experience? If I have an 11:30 horseback riding excursion with RCCL, would I have time to do the sloth experience early in the morning or is that playing it too tight? 

I was wondering if anyone had photos or just remembers some of the choices of treats that you can get at Café Promenade on Allure. I was hoping to gather there one evening for a little coffee and treat celebration for my daughter and was wondering what some of the typical choices were. 

Your photographs were absolutely mesmerizing. Thank you for letting us see the world through your perspective!

You can never really be sure until you are on board. Generally the menus shown on the app reflect those of the current sailing, which is an 8-night cruise, so while they serve to give you an idea they are not entirely reliable. If you wait until the 27th of March, that sailing is the same as yours, so checking the app then should give you a much better idea.

Another thing to bear in mind is that, often, there will be a special menu on a holiday (I'm not sure if Good Friday will be classed as such) and this can mess up the other menus too.

Thank you! That is really helpful to know. It was confusing to me that it was constantly changing. I do hope that the duck stays on my menu, because that is my absolute favorite!

Hi! I'm going on Allure of the Seas on April 10 and am trying to figure out my dining preferences and schedule. On the app, on Day 2, it only lists the kids' entrees, but then the dinner is listed from day 3-day 7. The only problem is that day 7 is our disembarkation day, so there actually isn't a dinner that night. For night "7" they are listing lobster tails. Can I safely assume that they actually are having the lobster tails on night 6 and I should just push back the menu choices by a day? (I am not sure if I am articulating this in any clear way, apologies if I'm not!)

Nick, When you check on your MDR menu on the Royal Caribbean app, I think you should see the lobster tails on the menu for the final night of your cruise. If you want whole lobster, you can purchase it for an upcharge on any of the other nights. At least that is what I am seeing on my dinner menu on the app. 

When I looked it up, it said this in the Vitality Spa description: Uncover a new you with lavish salon treatments like manicures, pedicures, makeup and hair services.

I have a lanyard and my cup will be yes tossed in my day bag then washed thru the day!

Thanks, Leigh. So are you saying that you have to bring a lanyard from home or it comes with one? Sorry, I was a bit unclear. 

Hi! First time cruising on a large ship like Allure. 

I was wondering if the Seapasses come on a lanyard or whether I should be bringing lanyards from home. Also, do people bring a holder for their soda cup or just toss it in their bag when it is empty? 

Thanks so much!

It is both dinner and entertainment, because your chef is very theatrical and humorous as your food is prepared. If you enjoy stir fry type dishes and fried rice, you should also enjoy the hibachi selections. It is completely different from a sushi meal. Enjoy!

Having just gotten up the courage, after much support from my teenaged daughters, to actually be brave enough to show my cancer scars in a bathing suit on my upcoming cruise, I'm just crossing my fingers that I don't show up as a "cringe-worthy" line item on this lovely list. 

Hello from NJ! I concur with the other posters. You want to fly out of Newark for sure.
