  1. This is also a functional and behavioral disorder of a generation...
  2. The number of daily drink vouchers is connected to an individual's C&A status as opposed to a stateroom booking. Each night the voucher count is reset. But...I like the way you think. I actually wish they would accumulate and not be lost under 'use or lose' every day.
  3. We have been cruising on RCL for 20 years and this takes the cake for the most hilarious thing we have seen yet (that stupid $200pp 'specialty' restaurant is close). Either this pricing stuff is a 100% mix up/typo...or RCL is testing to see how far people will go (some may say 'how stupid' people are). If people are willing to pay this much, why not just go on a SilverSea Cruise or some other ultra high end luxury cruise. What could POSSIBLY BE so 'special' that is different than an awesome cruise on the Allure...Symphony, Freedom, Adventure, etc., etc. Hell, rent a private island for a week.
  4. Yes, you can call ship to shore. Beware, it's around $7+/-...per minute. If you are going to get a a Surf + Stream/VOOM Internet package anyway...as mentioned, best to use some sort of VoIP app.
  5. Once enough mass accumulates and begins to rotate fast enough...fusion begins.
  6. After being on a cruise last week with a stateroom right in front of the exit from the hallway to the elevators...no problemo. Oddly enough...after 20 years of cruising...it was actually a pleasant surprise to not have to traverse a long hallway to get to and from our stateroom. Stay calm...and cruise on.
  7. Ohhhh...recall the days when there was no wi-fi, only an 'Internet Lounge' on Deck 8...when Internet access became available on RCL ships. Long gone (thankfully!) are the packages of 'Internet minutes'...to be wasted in front of one of the Internet Lounge PCs...as your eyes glazed over staring at the hour glass image on the screen...hoping for something...ANYTHING!...to appear on the screen. 10, 15, 20 minutes...to see only a single email...from Mom hoping you were having a good time. Thanks Mom...but &#%@#$&^$#@!!
  8. The new room we are assigned to is 191 sqft and that certainly beats the 161 sqft ocean view room we were in. And an ocean view balcony is 198 sqft, so not much different. Some of the panoramic ocean view staterooms can be oddly shaped due to being on the curve of the front of the ship. Our newly assigned room is rectangular according to the deck plans.
  9. Just notified we were upgraded (RoyalUp) on our Nov 26th, 5 night Mariner cruise from a deck 2 ocean view to a deck 12 panorama ocean view. Won on the minimum bid of $35/pp. Basically, crap shoot and your mileage may vary.
  10. Celebrity Equinox - Feb 18, 2023 Grand Cayman - ABC Islands Will be our second cruise on Celebrity.
  11. The cruise fare for Celebrity is 'drinks included' as their classic package. There are no 'x' drinks per day based on your loyalty tier level anymore, and no happy hour. Every hour is happy hour.
  12. We were on the Silhouette. It had a refurb in early 2021(?).
  13. If you're not looking for water slides, rock wall climbing, sports court, flowriders, merry-go-rounds or cup cake making classes...you will likely stick with Celebrity as your first choice. That's just our opinion after our first Celebrity cruise and sailing on RCL for around 18ish or so years. The classic drink package is included with your cruise fare. Do yourself a favor and upgrade to the premium package, totally worth it.
