I would take the GTY room for the higher category. I personally would not be happy being right under the dining room and having my sleep disrupted. And since its only $100 I think it is worth it to switch.

Raye, Yes I will be on the Feb 11th sailing with you! You are on deck 8 and I am on deck 10! You have A1 and I have A2 but both qualify for Star Class so that's good. You should be getting a full CR rate for this sailing... Lets see how you do.

Raye, Awesome News!!! I didn't even realize the big one was available! I am glad a fellow cruise friend and fan is getting it. I was so surprised too that it was released in general inventory and with that CR discount I just had to go for it! And I just realized you will be saving again by not having to fly to London and just flying to Florida. Ahh the suite life I cant wait to experience this Star Class with you.. I looked at my invoice and without the discount the room went for $10,930.94 with my discount I am paying $6,214.94 a great savings... Let me know what you end up paying on the big one I am curious to see how much of a discount CR will give you..

Thanks Guys, like I said this is the one place that truly gets my excitement! I will be happy to share when I come back.. Just to bad its so far away.

Matt, It really is! I went on youtube and looked at Oasis and Allure versions and it really looks so awesome! It is going to be for my honeymoon so I figured why not splurge and have the best Royal can offer as I am hoping to only get married Once

Just Changed my Harmony cruise from Feb 25th 2017 to Feb 11 2017... Got a fab deal on a 2 bedroom Aqua Theater Suite

Raye, Unfortunately you can only do either the same Eastern or Western Itinerary that Oasis and Allure do now... Basically Oasis is moving to Port Canaveral and Harmony is taking over in port Everglades... So the cruise I am doing is the Western again you know Labadee, Jamaica, Mexico... I am doing this cruise strictly for the new boat and to experience the new star class.. Plus if you recall I live in Ft. Lauderdale so it is just so easy for me to take boats out of there..   

Raye, They still had one room left on deck 10 2 bed room aqua theater suite for my same sailing at the same price I am paying.. Check it out maybe that time frame will work for you too... Jerel.. Even though you are not officially booked with MEI for this year's group cruise you can still come hang out with us! looking forward to meeting everyone and talking cruising

I just booked what I think will be an awesome cruise and I had to share it here because you guys are the only people I know who will appreciate it and understand my excitement:

As most of you know I am a member of Club Royale and today I was able to book a 2 bedroom Aqua Theater suite for February 2017 on Harmony. This qualifies for the new Star Class and I am soooo excited to try this out... The other reason I am excited is I got a Fabulous deal. The room before my Club Royale Discount was going for $11,000 for 2 people... I was able to get it for $6,200.00 for 2 people.. Man I think that's a deal and I just had to do it so I can try out the star class...

This was not meant to brag it's just you guys are the people I know who would understand by excitement!!

on My Quantum of the Seas Cruise I was in a Spa Junior Suite. I thought it was a very nice room and it has a nice split bath concept. I was able to eat at Coastal Kitchen one night for dinner and found the food to be very good. We ordered a lot of appetizers, some flat breads, and for main course I ordered Scallops and I know my table mates ordered rack of lamb and steak.. Service was great and just a very nice atmosphere... I hope you enjoy

My upcoming cruises are 2/21/2016 Allure of the seas group cruise... Then 8/25/2016 9 night Anthem of the Seas Canada/New England.... Then 2/25/2017 7 night Harmony of the Seas

Thank you Matt for all the work you put into the site. I just love cruising and talking to you and other members of this community. As it has made waiting for my next cruise more tolerable and of course it is just fun to talk to fellow cruise nuts. Can't wait for the Group Cruise. I think we are down to 175 days until sailing!

I Live in Ft. Lauderdale so I can answer the Uber question... We use to have Uber until 1 month ago when Broward County Decided it was illegal for Uber to operate here. Now obviously this law is trying to be fought but for now there is no Uber in Ft. Lauderdale... 

I was just in St. Kitts in July and I found it to be OK. I just did a plain beach excursion. The beach was fine but I do prefer St. Maarten.

This is what I do: The First day it is important for me to start things off right.. Like Raye (Waytoo) I need ice twice a day and I also like extra towels. I once had a stateroom attendant who seemed annoyed that I was making this request so ever since then after I make my first day request I give them an additional $20 so they know I do appreciate it. I also like to let them know my dining preferences so they know when is a good time to clean my room. I am an early eater around 6:00 or 6:30 PM so I like to give them that heads up because I like my room cleaned while I am at dinner and yes I do have a reason for this.. After Dinner I like to take about 15-20 min in my room to digest my food before doing an activity. While I am digesting I like to look at the next days cruise planner to see what looks fun. So for me since I have these sort of special requests I do try to tip extra.

Yes They are required so that the porters know what room to deliver your luggage to. You need to make a my cruise account online at royalcaribbean.com and then you print them from the website. Your TA should be able to walk you through it or should be able to print them for you.

That hotel is perfect. I live in Ft. Lauderdale so I am very familiar with it. It is clean and in a good area.

All Shows can be booked through cruise planner... Just keep checking the site to see when entertainment opens up

Amejjajr8 here are your answers lol.  I think the whole boat is a cool observation. It is just so big and beautiful. When you walk on you walk on deck 5 the Royal Promenade and you are immediately wowed by the sheer size. Then you go to deck 6 aft (back of ship) to the boardwalk and you see the Aqua Theater which is just such as cool space and don't miss the Aqua theater water show you must pre book it online! Then head right up to deck 8 central park and you say ok this is so cool how did they manage to make central park on a ship! And it just keeps going on and on... Next Question you asked were about the rooms. I am not going to lie an inside room is very tight and they don't give much closet space in my opinion but I bring a lot of clothes but maybe you can't go by me because for me even a balcony room is too tight. I always get some kind of suite when I go on Oasis Class ships because the way they designed the other staterooms is too tight for me. But for you it might be perfect it is so subjective. Ok Now for the shows! They are all AMAZING. If you like Broadway then you definitely need to see Mama Mia. I saw it on Quantum and it was awesome. Then there is the ice show. It is so cool and done so well you have to see that too. Then there is a show called Blue planet. It is a Cirque du solie (I know I spelled it wrong) type show set to music and it is really good. Of course I mentioned the Aqua Theater show which is an amazing water show. Then there is the comedian you have to have advance seats for that. So yea all shows are a must see! Ok Spa time. Honestly I just go there to get a Massage and I leave. I like spending my time in the adults only Solarium which is all the way in the front of the ship. It has a great pool and hot tubs. Now for food. Like Matt says food is Soooo subjective. In my opinion the MDR has gone down in quality quite a bit but you may love it. I am not a drinker but I am a foodie. So instead of buying drinks I go to specialty restaurants every night. I love every restaurant on Allure. I can't wait to try the new Sabor and the new Habachi area of Izumi. I currently love Chops Grille, Geovanni's table, Samba Grill, regular izumi, 150 Central park... All just so good in my opinion. To me it does not feel like a lot of people on the ship. They did a great job with creating neighborhoods so people spread out nicely.. No Wow Bands on Allure.. Only Quantum class and Harmony as of right now... LAst question was about the port.. The port is super easy. You will be in terminal 18 which is specifically made for oasis class ships... If you have any other questions let me know but I hope this help!! 

Happy to answer any questions

What Specifically would you guys like to know? I have been on Allure 3 times and loved it each time!

I am going to call Royal tomorrow and confirm that I get my benefits for my 2017 Harmony sailing that I booked in a GS. I am going to be mad if I don't just because I booked before Sept 8

I hope so, I hate that Vegas is 3 Hours behind me (Eastern Standard time). That usually delays the announcement

I have a grand suite booked for Harmony 2/25/2017 so I would be considered "Skyclass" I wonder what I get for that? Did the Rep say when we would know what each class gets?

ok I will give this a try. I am going on vacation this week but as soon as I am back I will download and get ready to listen
