No It will be getting Mama Mia! What that means is either the Set or actors are not ready for your sailing unfortunately. This is why I don't like booking right after a dry dock. Some things they still have to work on

Raye, I was on Quantum on March 13. I absolutely loved it and I loved dynamic dining. I hate to say this but you are wrong. The free restaurant the Grande offers free lobster every night. No upcharge. If you want to go there every night and order lobster you are free to do so. Now I know this is weird but I do not like lobster so I did not order it but it was on the menu everyday. I thought the food on Quantum was Sooo much better than the MDR food. They don't start cooking your food until you order it so it comes out so mush hotter and fresher. I am not trying to argue with you I just wanted you to know this fact. If you want free lobster you can still get it on Quantum Class ships!

Hi WAAATOOO, What is your real name? That way I can just call you that lol. Well I actually enjoy playing slots and tables. I am a sucker for the new movie themed slots. I love the hangover machine on Oasis. I won about $600 on that machine. But I also like Roulette and Blackjack. I like Texas Hold' EM but I have never played it on a cruise before. I have only played it in a land casino. ON the cruise do they play limit or no limit? I also prefer a live dealer. I just think the computerized one is well to computerized and I feel like I might be getting ripped off. Have a nice time in Japan. Talk soon. - Stephanie

That's ok Matt I know right now you got Freedom on the Brain since it's coming up in July for you

Mike_ In regards to dining. I did the same thing as MEI advised me there was only about 20 spots left. I usually do My Time but I wanted to see what every one else was doing. Matt are you doing my time?

WAAATOOO, I just saw you booked the group cruise too and used the casino discount.. I did too and I saved about $800 dollars. It makes being a casino member worth it

Matt, for the group cruise you have us listed on going on Freedom of the Seas.. You gotta change it to Allure!

Mike_ I agree with everything Waaaytooo was saying. Once you have seen one island you have seen them all and the ship is the main attraction. I am super Loyal to Royal. I just got my diamond plus status so that tells you I am loyal. You are in for such a treat. The minute you step on Allure you will be blown away by it's size and beauty. I was never bored and it is just a really great ship. Jewel and Vision are nice too but there is nothing like the new ships. I cant wait to talk to you on board to hear your thoughts. I love meeting people who have only been on the older ships and hearing their thoughts on the new ships.. Which NCL ship are you going on? Is it Breakaway? I have never been on NCL but wouldn't mind trying it.. What made you pick it?

Lol Yea Agslc5 that's my email address actually and when I first signed up I didn't realize I could put just Stephanie. I thought booking with MEI was very easy too and I cant wait for the cruise and to meet everyone. You are going to love Allure it's a great ship with great shows, great staff, and great food. Looking forward to meeting you and like you said now the waiting begins :mellow:

I think you should splurge for the extra room especially since you have a newborn who probably is on a difficult sleep schedule. You actually some nights might have to separate your daughters if the baby is crying and cant sleep because you don't want a cranky 4 year old on your hands. I know spending an extra $2,000 is a lot but in this case might be necessary.  

Mike, I am Stephanie. Glad I could remind you and help you out. The Tax Free Promo was great. Cant wait to meet everyone on board. I was on Allure 3 times previously so if anyone has any questions about the ship, shows or anything feel free to ask.. I have to say Allure and quantum are my to Favorite Ships.. So I am excited the group cruise is on such a wonderful ship

Yes Matt I agree this is a must do. I was happy to support you and your sponsor. Cant wait to go and meet some new friends and Enjoy this great ship together

Ok Very Excited my Next RCL cruise is the 2/21/2016 Allure of the Seas Group Cruise!.. Also Matt you need to correct it under your name because you have it as going on Freedom in Feb instead of Allure

Just Called MEI and they are booking for me! Very excited to be apart of this group cruise.. Bring on the Fun and SAbor!

Matt, I also am planning on going and actually I plan on booking tomorrow to take advantage of the Tax Free Promo. I am going to book with MEI so I can be included In the group and I am very excited.. I would like to suggest we have a Sabor Meet up. Ever since you went on Navigator I have wanted to go and it would be a fun group activity I think.

Matt, Absolutely agree. I always make reservations. For me I not only am excited about the cruise but I love doing Pre-Cruise Planning like booking restaurants, shows, and excursions. To me it's all part of the fun! 

Matt, The only exception I had was when I was on Allure last year. Chops and Giovanni's was booked solid every night and it was good we had reservations. I tried to get a table for 4 at chops for a 2nd time since I love it so much but they were booked solid. So I think on Oasis class ships sometimes going day of is more difficult.

DocLC Allure currently does have Chicago but in May will be losing it and will be getting Mama Mia since it is leaving Quantum

Hi, I have had 3 grown adults in a room before and it is fine. I assume FO is a family ocean view which will really make it fine because there is a lot of extra space. I believe when Matt was on the Navigator he got an FO room and thought there was a ton of space. So In conclusion I think you should be fine!

Hi Jill, I am Stephanie the person Matt was talking about. So Yes I am a Casino Royale Club VIP member. The way you get this is by spending a lot of money in the Casino. I got in about 5 years ago when I had some money to burn and I qualified to get in the club. The great thing is I never spend as nearly as much as I did that one time but they don't kick you out of the club once your in your in. So you get Casino rates when booking also you can earn money of next cruises but I never saw them just give away a free cruise like on carnival. So here is the other thing in April they are about the change the whole way the run the VIP program so in april once I know more I will post more info...

Ok so I am on Quantum now and have been bugging the Casino Staff like crazy to give me an answer but they say the same stuff... They know as much as you got in the letter... I Will say this I just booked a 10 night on Anthem for January 2015 and got Casino rates and got to use a rebate so like you said that is still intact until March 2016.. I plan to call in April and have them give me a full explanation about this tiered benefit stuff.. I saw that NCL runs their casino this way.. Maybe they are trying to copy them with this? Who knows.. But If I get any more info I will post...

PS. Quantum is sooooooooooo Fantastic!

You guys.. It is going to Europe JUST for Summer 2016.. Then it is going to Port Everglades for atleast all of 2017!

Wonderland is $45.00 per person, 150 Central Park is $40.00 per person, and Izumi is al a carte pricing.. As for the coffee issue at the Promenade Café they have coffee drinks that are included they are just made by seattle's best not starbucks. Hope this helps!! And Oasis is a great ship you should have a fab time

OH Absolutely you can write it off lol still I would love for you to make another royal Caribbean blog cruise because this time I would make sure to go.. Maybe if Harmony is released state side that would be a good choice.. Especially since it will have a Sabor!  

Unless you are a VIP Casino member like me and then the cashier does not charge a 5% service charge!
