Consumption is not limited to your cabin. You may enjoy your wine anywhere onboard including taking it to restaurants. There is no corkage fee either.

Thanks all !  Karma!  I will be the loud mouth grandma with no kids drink in hand having a blast!!  My real name is Kim and my hubby is Bob!  Maybe we could meet at the carousel!!

JUNE 5TH ALLURE HERE WE COME TOO!!!
FIRST TIME ON THIS BOAT AND WE ARE SUPER EXCITED!  WE HAVE BEEN ASKING MANY QUESTIONS ON THIS SITE AND ITS BEEN WORTH IT...
WE HOPE YOU GUYS ENJOY YOUR CRUISE AND EVERYTHING  IT HAS TO OFFER. 
WE ARE PLANNING TO AS WELL...
 
:)

I am super excited!!!  I am trying to not overpack and be the good traveler, is there any advice from anyone??  We did book for the unlimited ultimate drink package, in Labadee I think is the deep sea fishing, and then one of the beach excursions in St. Maarten.  I am a bit nervous about San Juan with the Zika virus, actually got a text today from RC regarding the CDC guidelines etc.  I am by no means having any more children, but I don't want to get sick! 
also, is khaki dress pants with a nice shirt and sport coat ok for the dressy nights? 
Has anyone been on the Allure and if so what was your must do thing!
 

GM,
Can anyone tell me whats actually free in these to restaurants?  I've been looking in the reservation section and there is a 0$ for ala carte, but there are always specifics.  Have anyone sailed the Allure that cen help?
 
Thanks :)

On some ships Izumi is free because its part of the Wind Jammer.  On others it is its own space. If I can remember we ate lunch on Oasis and dinner on the Freedom in Izumi and it was ala carte so I'm sure Allure is the same, BUT it has been a few years and the memory is winding down..  We ate at Sabor on Freedom last November, don't remember the cost but pretty sure it wasn't ala carte. And if you want to get your feet off the ground, try a tequila flight.  It was pretty good...

On Oasis class ships both Sabor and Izumi are a la carte. On some ships Sabor is a flat fee - this is why some are known as Sabor Modern Mexican and others are known as Sabor Taqueria

In either of these restaurants pretty much everything carries a cost (sans a glass of water).  While I very much enjoyed both experiences, Sabor was a bargain in my opinion.  Three decent sized tuna tacos and an order of handmade guac was $9.  The guac can easily be split several ways.

Izumi has an a la carte charge to eat there (what you order is what you pay for).
 
Sabor has a cover charge, with all food included on non-Oasis class ships.  On Oasis class ships, it is a la carte.
 
 
On ships without Izumi (like Freedom class ships), the Windjammer offers a Jade section, where sushi is complimentary in the evening.
