  1. I'm probably not the one to ask...my idea of a great cruise breakfast is a plate of corned beef hash, smothered in sausage country gravy, and a side of smoked salmon.

     

    I'm not kidding.  At least through day 4 anyhow.

    Carney....talk about a serious cholesterol bomb! Good thing you work in the salmon with their heart healthy omega-3s. But, it does sound like one hell of a breakfast. ;)

  2. would be nice if they provided a menu for Room Service....on Navigator it's  not available on the TV and there is nothing in the rooms...you have to call every time and ask what the options are...then see what everyone wants and then call back to order.....

     

    makes me think they are trying to discourage rooms service being used.

     

    First time I noticed this.

    Did you say anything to your room attendant? Part of his job is ti make sure a room service menu is in your cabin. That's why they get paid the big bucks! :)

  3. My experience last year on the Allure with MTD was not good. We had a group of 6 and finding us a table for dinner at 6:30 had us waiting for up to 20 minutes plus getting shuffled around every night. I recommend you call RCI or have your travel agent call and go for the early seating in the MDR. That will work out for the shows.

  4. All the information was correct, I tried calling to place the order and I was put on a 15 minute hold. I requested an order confirmation email once we were finished, thank goodness I did because they chose the Happy Anniversary Room Decor instead of the Just Married Room Decor I had ordered...  :angry:

     

    Now I'm emailing customer service because I don't have time for another 15 hold to get it fixed.. 

     

    Next time I know to only do it online... If it works...

    Try using a different web browser. I use Chrome and with Windows 10. For some reason they don't always make nice with the RCI website. I switched to Internet Explorer and bingo, instant friends. If you have to call try late at night (after 10:00 pm) or early morning (6:00 am). 

  5. April 7th Serenade OTS now 30% off on Deluxe Beverage Package....largest discount I have seen on this

    Diva,

    The discount is "up to 30%" on drink packages. Just like the discount on excursions is "up to 20%". Today I cancelled my excursions on the upcoming Serenade cruise in March and re-booked saving a lot of money. The higher the drink package & excursion, the higher the discount. 

  6.  

    One strategy is "pre-dinner".  If you have second seating in MDR, you go up to Windjammer when they open for dinner around 6 for a look around and if there's something that looks good, you have an appetizer sized portion of it.  I do this all the time because

    1. I'm hungry
    2. I get to sample some of the unique food available there, like curry
    3. I'm hungry

     

    Sounds like you're a growing boy, Matt!

  7. I will be on the Allure this coming June that has a stop in St. Thomas.  In my Cruise Planner, I don't see an excursion for the Coral World Ocean Park, although I know RCCL had this type of excusion in the past.  Has anyone visited this park on their own? What is the best way to get there and back to the ship?  Any insight is greatly appreciated.  Thanks!

    I'll be on the Allure next April also going to St. Thomas. I just googled that Park, wow! Hope RC adds that to their excursions.

  8. Greetings!  Just 4 weeks until we leave on Freedom - can't wait!  We have a group of 6 going and are flying in the day before. We did Priceline for a hotel that night. 

     

    Question is regarding transportation. The hotel we are staying at (Ocean Sky Hotel & Resort) doesn't offer complimentary transportation so I've been looking at several options... Seems like Uber is the most economical option, but we are probably going to need (2) UberXLs because of luggage. Will that be an issue at around 10p on a Friday getting two cars at FLL? And same at 1130 the next morning to get from the hotel to the Port?

     

    Any other suggestions for transportation? I've looked at Infinity, A&B, and On Time Passenger Van.

     

    Thanks!

    Damian,

    Whatever transport you decide on, I would recommend leaving earlier than 1130 am the next morning to get to the port. In fact, if you can be at the port earlier you will be able to board earlier. However, your rooms may not be ready, just bring the essentials in a back pack or small carry. I always like to get on board early just to enjoy the ship without the crowds. Good luck and enjoy!

  9. Got a nice email from RCI today advertising some good discounts on drink packages, excursions, etc. Been trying to get into the excursions option with the cruise planner with 0 success. Both Chrome and IE cannot get in. Anyone else experiencing this? :(

    The good news is this is a 72 hour sale. Perhaps better luck late tonight or in the wee hours of the morning.
