That is a bummer. Perhaps a call to RC or your travel agent (if you used one) is in order and see is they will give you some on board credit?

On the Allure of the Seas, cabin class D2, ocean view with large balcony, connecting rooms....where is the connecting door located in the cabin? And, is there a sofa or a chair in these rooms? Thanks.

She has an interesting history, good for her!

Ok, I'll end this mystery....$$$$$

Just the usual no-sale, sail. I would be interested to know what the cost of a deluxe drink package is when you first board the ship. We'll be on the Allure next year March 25th and April 1st, B2B. Right now RC is offering a discounted deluxe drink package for the week of March 25th but nothing for the week of April 1st. So, if the price is right I may just hold off and buy the package on board on April 1st. Thanks!

We were on the Allure last March. As I remember, the only place you could get a protein smoothie was on deck five or six right outside of the Vitality Spa and Fitness Center.

Good guess Sabrina. I know when I go through my TA, she tells me how many rooms RCI has allocated to them by class. But, I would recommend katjoe call the her TA back and get to the bottom of this.

You have the same thing in Canada, only they're Prime Minister paper.

Just saw this on the RCI website. Sale ends in 10 hours. Go get 'em!

I've been dealing with this for a couple of weeks now. These figures are Royals. The "base price" is $55.00 with 25% discount. When you add this to your basket the "price shown that reflect your discount" (their words) is $45.00. So, $45.00 + 18%(gratuities) = $53.10 per person per day. For a couple that's $106.20 per day or $743.4. for a couple on a seven day cruise on the Allure next March.

Thanks, me too!

Sabrina, Yes I have spoken to a few cust. service reps about the math which for which they do not have an answer. So, I get transferred to a supervisor who also can't explain the math. I'm going to sit on this for a few weeks and see if they "wake up", if not a letter and email will be sent in by myself.

My gripe with this whole drink package deal is thier math. I have no problem buying them for my wife & myself, however, get the damn math correct. Here's a screen shot from my Allure cruise next March. The banner says "buy one get one 50% off". But then just above the "add to cart" button it says From*$45.00USD Adult per day Price Shown Reflects Your Discount According to the customer service reps I have spoken with, it's actually 25% off of the regular price of $55.00 of each package, hence the 50%. Of course 18% gratuity on top of that. What is mathematically incorrect here is 25% x $55 is $41.25 NOT $45.00 as above "Price Shown Reflects Your Discount". $41.25 + 18% = $48.68. So, I am confused about this discounted "price" of $45.00. Am I wrong here or does RC have a super golly wampus high speed low drag hand held computer integrated calculator to perform simple (?) math calculations on their packages? I'm almost afraid to look at excursions and dining "deals".

Hey Rede, welcome aboard! I can't answer the question regarding the boyfriend, but, the drinking age on board the cruise ship is 21. She'll be allowed in the bars/nightclubs, but she won't be served by the wait staff.

Uhhh, where's the steering wheel with the parrot perch next to it?

Here's a screenshot from Norwegian.

Well said, sir!

Fantastic trip report! Were you a writer for the J. Peterman catalogue?

Have you considered the amount of money RCCL is spending on getting the hurricane devastated islands back up and tourist worthy from which where these islands get the bulk of their income. I, sir, do not agree with you about "RCCL caring about one thing, their shareholders." Please, no need for you to reply to my post, it will be ignored.

I think Matt and his gang should hire kimberrussell as a full time writer!

What about an RC snorkeling excursion. We did that one a few years ago. It was on a "Pirate Ship" and included drinks (Non alcoholic as well as alcoholic) and a great lunch prepared on board, line dancing, etc. There was a mix of young and older folks on that trip and it was fun. If it's available please check it out.

I feel your pain.....159.....LONG days for me.

Interesting, I never really noticed an overwhelming orange flavor. Guess I'll have to get a bottle tomorrow and "test" it for citrus notes.

What do you think about Pyrat rum on the rocks? It's a sweet one.

Now that sounds like a pretty darn yummy place to eat!
