Somehow, I think you IT guys are jerking my non IT chain......what''s Tandy & Radio Shack?

Thanks JL, Holy sh*t! If what JT posted above "This is IT related though Doc .... Royal still runs their systems on TRS-80 grade hardware ..." I'm surprised Royal can get their ships out of port, on time without some catastrophic happenings. Is it possible he was joking......I hope...please?

I believe you can on the cruise planner under the beverages and dining heading. Select dining and scroll down to the My Time Dining option, add to your cart, select who will be dining with you and then select the time. Hopefully the early seating will be available. By the way, we were on the Allure last year, which is the sister ship of the Oasis. The main dining room on the Allure had three levels, each with a different theme. Deck 4 was the American Icon, Deck 5 was Silk (oriental decor) and I am having a senior moment trying to remember deck 6, it happens. Decks 4 and 6 had windows in the dining room but deck 5 did not. The running track is on deck 5 and who wants to see a bunch of athlete wanna-be's while you're having dinner? That was the Allure, may be similar on the Oasis. One more important thing......Have fun and enjoy your cruise!

Wow! Great photo and post!

OK, what does TRS-80 grade hardware mean, and is this on all their ships,or just the older ones? Thanks!

"The Works" (on the menu) at Johnnie Rockets is killer!! MDR breakfast is nice also, but, no bathing suits. Good place for breakfast if you're getting off the ship in a port. Room service for coffee/tea and some rolls is also nice.

Erika, What cruise ship will you be on?

We were on the Allure last March and stopped in Falmouth. You can call it a coincidence, but from what we saw in Falmouth outside of the gated shopping area there is no way in hell I would get off the cruise ship to go into Falmouth on future cruises.

Michael, In January-April, 2018 the Allure will be stopping in Jamaica, after that the Allure itinerary does not include Jamaica. Not sure about the rest of the RCCI fleet though. I think that will make a significant economic impact on Falmouth. Think about it 6,000+ sun baked cruisers not spending a dime on shore in Jamaica.

Thanks Doc. Hopefully before April 2018!

Does anyone here know if the Oasis Class, the Allure specifically, has the Royal IQ capability now or in the very near future? Thanks!

Tiny260, Tiny260, Tiny260, you're not slow today. Just didn't read the fine print under her "upcoming cruises".

I don't think so. There weren't any Pirates on the California coast, just surfers. But, they can be just as bad.

Based on your posts today, it looks like you're taking a new "Depp" forward, welcome back!

The Allure last year, muster was in the champagne bar. Got there early and started loading up the drink package card. Once they announced the commencement of the muster drill, the bar was closed until the drill was over. Serenade this year, outside on the deck. Made this mistake of carrying a drink with me. Had to put it down on the deck across from me behind a cabinet of some sorts and then they made me sit in the bad chair until the drill started.

Yeah, shrinkage!!!

Well, that may be. But, this pales in comparison to some of the political campaign videos last year!

Two bottles per stateroom and not the large bottles.

Looks great, my man, looks great!

Thanks for the comments and photos, PRC. This should seal the deal for my wife!

Not sure if this is a new excursion for Labadee or not. We will be there next March on the Allure and I am wondering if anyone here has done this particular excursion. (This is not the Sandbar Island Getaway nor the Sandbar Island Adult Party.) Will be interested in any comments good or bad, thanks!

Have fun Mark!

Talk about a cruiseaholic! You have everyone's envy on this message board. Did you win the Publisher's Clearing House Sweepstakes to pay for all these cruises?

I'll second tonyfsu21's comments on Nassau and the Allure.
