Here's a brand new one from Freedom of the Seas last week: http://www.royalcaribbeanblog.com/cruise-compasses/freedom-of-the-seas/sun-2016-01-17-0000-0

Thanks Matt this is exactly what I was looking for!

Does anyone know if the Coastal Kitchen on the Allure is open for lunch on embarkation day?

Somewhere I read that you can request a teen and or younger cruise compass.  Does anyone know if this true? Also would anyone have an old copy that they could post.  I was just wanting to check things out share with my boys (ages 14 and 6) prior to the cruise. Thanks

We are going on the Allure in March and plan to stay at the Hampton Inn Airport North Cruiseport.  It has a shuttle and breakfast, but the downside is we have never stayed there before.  The reason being, we aren't much more experienced than you, it will be our second cruise out of Port Everglades. 

Since I am fairly new to cruising, I am a little curious.  How does RCI react or compensate for their guests losing a port day?  I am sure they have some sort of policy in fine print somewhere, but does anyone know.  I am really curious about this since several of you will be on the Allure and Feb. and myself on the Allure in March.

We will be on the Allure of the Seas, March 20, 2016

Its an app that works at airports for customs declarations, but I didn't know if it worked for ports or if there was something similar. I would post a screen shot from my phone of the app, but I don't know how to get it on here.

Does anyone know if Port Everglades has lines for using the mobile passport app to get through customs or do you still have to use the paper forms when disembarking?

Unfortunately I am a high school math teacher, that feels the need to research everything I can!  I will let you decide whether I am insane or not!

So now I am really confused, if the price is the same onboard and on land, how does a TA save me more money?

Hello everyone!

My name is Ryan and my wife is Aissa, we also have 2 boys ages 14 and 6.  We have a been  Disney World vacation family, until our recent Royal Caribbean cruises.  I think we are morphing into a cruise family!  We are from Indiana and enjoy trading our views of corn and bean fields for ocean and sand.

My family is new to cruising, we have only been on 2 cruises (both Royal Caribbean).  We have a cruise booked for March 2016 on the Allure, but we know we want to cruise on the Harmony next year in March 2017.  My question is should I go ahead and book this future cruise now (72 hour sale) or wait until we until we are aboard the Allure?  Everything I have read is that there are better deals on board, is this true?  We were wanting to stay in a suite as well.  We will be in a Crown Loft on the Allure. Can anyone give any advice on selecting a suite on the Harmony?

What all is included at Barefoot Beach? (towels, water, floating mats, ect..)  I am just trying to decide if renting a cabana would be worth it.  Thanks!
