happy cruisers 2

Good information in the previous posts regarding ship tours. Thanks. I thought I once read something about ship tours being a free perk for some guests. My question is this: Do SUITE GUESTS ever get a free ship tour? Or maybe free tours involve a certain level of Crown and Anchor points? We are cruising in a suite in a few weeks and have purchased the All-Access Ship Tour, but now I'm wondering if that is maybe not necessary. Perhaps someone with more Suite or Crown and Anchor experience than me can share their experience. Thank you.

Thanks to all suite cruisers who replied about dining in Coastal Kitchen. You have given us confidence that there is no problem with eating as many meals there as we care to. We will most likely get lunch in other places, but dinner in CK every evening seems quite likely. You all were so helpful in your replies, so thanks!

I had not considered the customs issue. Good to know. Thanks, Traveling Mike! Thanks also to Montemy2419 and wordell1 for your replies. You're all very helpful.

I'm sure this has been asked and answered before, but I don't find anything on it. We are doing back-to-back, 7 nights each, soon. Same cabin for both cruises. Just curious, but does RC require us to depart the ship on disembarkation morning and then reboard? Or do they let B2B people wait onboard somewhere while they do their turnover process. (If you've ever had to depart, how soon were you allowed back on the ship?) Thanks for any replies anyone may give. Really appreciated.

Wife and I will be in a suite soon and this next cruise is our first time to have a Coastal Kitchen available. Currently, we have a 6:30pm slot selected each night of the cruise for My Time Dining in the MDR, however we think we will probably be quite happy to go to CK each night. For those of you who book suites, do you think we should keep our 6:30 MTD reservations just in case we switch it up and go to MDR some evenings? Or would that not be a good idea?

If you have stayed in an Owner's Suite on an Oasis class ship, can you tell me if you received the free internet package FOR THE ENTIRE CRUISE? That has been my understanding but, with an upcoming cruise, I continue to get notices from RC telling me I have not purchased an internet package. I'm guessing these are mass sendings of their marketing messages and everyone gets them, regardless of the cabin they have booked. Thanks in advance to those who can verify.

I'm hoping someone who has actually done this excursion might tell me what you thought of it, and what your take was on the waiver. We have done multiple excursions where alcohol was available (sunset sailings, short water excursions, distillery tour, wine tastings and so on), but have never been asked to sign a waiver. I'm hoping that Cozumel is generally a safe place and there are no atypical security concerns to be aware of. Thanks.

Have any of you done the Cozumel city tour by trolley excursion offered by Royal Caribbean? Two questions. Did you like it? Do you know the reason that a waiver must be signed? It sounds like a very safe way to see something while ashore. I'm curious to know why a signed waiver is necessary. Thanks for any input you might share.

Thanks, Mike n Ky and OCSC Mike, and any others who might choose to add more. (Our first time posing a question, and we got replies! Nice.) So the input is very helpful and much appreciated. Looking forward to being on the Allure and seeing what the ship and CK are like, plus a lot of other aspects of a large ship. Ports don't excite us on the itinerary, but we are sure wanting to experience what this ship has to offer.

We have stayed in suites, but not on a ship with a Coastal Kitchen. We've usually been quite content to eat in MDR for dinner, except for the lines and somewhat chaotic process that can occur at times. We are doing back-to-back cruises on a ship with a CK soon, and my question is for those who like to stay in suites. Do suite guests prefer eating EVERY, or almost every meal, in Coastal Kitchen? Or would that be unreasonable? We like to start our evening with drinks in the Suite Lounge and then typically do My Time Dining in the MDR around 6:30. I'm thinking that reservations are required for CK, but will look into that further. We're mostly interested in knowing how frequently you like to eat in CK when on a ship that offers it. Thanks so much for your input.

We enjoyed an excellent walk in Bar Harbor and along the waterfront. Beautiful. Also had a nice lunch outdoors. Would love to go back and spend a week or more sometime.
