It was pointing out but could surely capture balcony activity.

The cam on our balcony was pointed to see our balcony. A towel would have fixed that problem though. Wouldn't be a pleasant experience for an adjacent family with kids to hear or peak at though, so a little discretion would be advised.

This happenned 2 separate evenings. The main dining room was already so loud we had to raise our voices to hear each other, then the dining staff turned up the caribbean music, some of them started dancing, and then here's my peave... everyone started swinging/flailing/twirling their used napkins over their heads! I could practically feel a breeze of dirty air filled with saliva, lipstick, bread crumbs, and boogers. Thank you everyone!

Just got off our 1st cruise Friday and started feeling chills and aches on the evening of day 7, the last day. I was + for Covid at home. I agree about elevators. Someone sneezed right behind me and I tried to hold my breath. Is there somewhere to report that I got covid onboard? I'm wondering how the cruises keep track after you leave.

Just another confirmation. No corkage fees mentioned across 4 nights of bringing unopened bottles on Allure this week. (4 bottles because of 2 cabins) I think there's such a focus on your head waiter getting a perfect score on the review, that they don't mess with it. We plan to tip extra for their bottle service. (But not because of their lost revenue -- that's their own business problem to resolve.

@HtownHolly, how's your cruise going? Ours is next. -
Galveston parking clarification
_1stTimer replied to _1stTimer's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
Thanks! I called the port parking number before reading this, and a lady said the base price for 7 days is $140 either way, but you get that discount you mention if you reserve. It's still possible to drive up, though. Their site lists economy parking but that's the Carnival lot. Apparently they haven't updated their listing for the new terminal parking. -

Thanks, I do know you can reserve. It says $153, so it seems to be more. Unless there's a discount by reserving, it's not possible, or it's a big problem, I plan to drive up. -
Can someone confirm... we can just drive up and self park, then catch a free shuttle to the new terminal, right? Looks like it's $95 plus tax for a 7-day cruise. The port site makes it feel like reservations are needed.

If this is true, "...more guests than ever before are choosing email as their primary communication...", then I wonder if it's because they don't want to wait an hour on hold, AND/OR they don't trust the replies they get from the reps. I see on this discussion board that people are sometimes told different things when they call in. Maybe travel agents get faster responses. We'll use one next time.

Ok, I guess we can conclude that the contact us form on the site is broken or ignored. I called and got it taken care of. Things like this add up and do not enstill confidence in passengers. I don't see anywhere to escalate or report the issue either. Thanks for the replies, all.

They don't give a reason. Is this common??? Dear Guest, We’re looking forward to welcoming you onboard Allure of the Seas! To allow for additional time to complete the debark process from our previous sailing, we kindly ask that you arrive 1 hour after your previously selected arrival time. All guests should plan to arrive no later than 4:00 PM, and we’ll now set sail at 5:00 PM. It’s extremely important to arrive during your new arrival time on boarding day. Space in the terminal can only accommodate a specific number of guests, so those who arrive sooner will be turned away and asked to return during their new time to avoid overcrowding in the terminal. Arriving early may also mean that you’ll have to wait outside of the terminal in all types of Texas weather conditions. If you haven’t already selected a time yet, we kindly ask you to please visit our app and complete your online check-in.

Anyone else getting no replies from the contact form? I got the auto reply from "web_reservations" when I sent my message Wednesday morning. It's now Saturday and still nada. It's a simple thing that shouldn't require a phone call and hold time.

@smokeybandit, @JohnK6404, How long should we plan for embarkation to take so we know if we should eat lunch prior to or wait and eat an included meal on the ship? We arrive at 1pm.
