    There is also one more Freestyle Coke machines on Allure of the Seas.  It is located inside the Wipeout Cafe.  If you are travelling with kids, they won't have to make the trip to Windjammer Buffet to refill their drinks throughout the day.

    Stopping by Sorrento's for a slice of pizza even though you are still full from dinner.  Sit down and people watch at the Royal Promenade.

    We would "test" her throughout the trip.  About 75/25 she would remember.  She was always accompanied by someone she is familiar with the entire time.  Only time we were worried is if she wandered off while everyone was sleeping.  It never happened.  She was exhausted after all the fun activities on the ship!  She had a great time.  She would always talk about the cruise even years afterwards.

    My late grandmother had Alzheimer's.  We would take a photo of her everyday and every time she changed her outfit that way it will assist in case we needed search for her.  We also used photo magnets of people who she was familiar with and put them on her cabin door.  Just make sure you do mention to the cruise line of any medical condition.  We also used a bluetooth tracker like Tile.  Attached the Tile to a piece of clothing or in her pocket.  Have a plan.  We told her to go to any stairway/elevator and stay there.

    I always bring one of those mixer bottles when I travel.  You will have to use the provided plastic cups to dispense the flavoured water and then pour it into your bottle for hygiene reasons.  There are signs posted to do this but I have seen many people ignore it.  On ships with the Freestyle machines, I like getting the Powerade and pour into my bottle to bring with me when I go off the ship.

    I find the drink packages to be more of a convenience buy rather than saving $$ buy.  Certain few can get ahead of the break-even point.  But after a few straight days of "beating the house", most people will become drink fatigued.  With the drink package, you pay a fixed price and won't have a "surprise bill" at the end of the trip.  
    If the other items in the drink packages interests you such as the specialty coffees, purchasing a coffee drink card and then the alcoholic drinks a la carte may be another option.

    Those donated generators don't pay for themselves.  Timing to release this policy change was very calculated.  No such thing as a "free" lunch.

    It will be just like any Canada/USA border crossing.  Speak only when spoken to.  Answer only the questions that are asked.  There should not be any problems.

    First, I would recommend informing Total Caribbean either through you TA it through they line's Special Needs department. 
    When you get to the Windjammer, look for the chef. If he's not visible, ask one of the staff members working the buffet line and they'll get him. Explain your allergy to him and he'll walk you through all of the dishes that are safe. 
    I have a family member with Celiac, and they've been very good walking us through the buffet as described above. Note, however, they can't control cross contamination by other guests if there is a food item with an allergen next to one without it. In some cases, they'll bring you a serving from there back. For fried foods, they only have one fryer, so cross contamination is a problem there unlike the main dining room where they have dedicated fryers.

    The week's MDR menu is on the large touchscreen right outside Deck 3 American Icon.  You can pretty much plan out the week's dining if you do not like their selection.

    I also play MyVegas Slots on Facebook and on mobile devices.  
     
    I visit http://www.myvegasfreechips.com/ daily to collect free chips that were posted by MyVegas.  It's a few thousand extra chips a day.  I usually collect throughout the week and then spend it all during the weekend when I have free time.  
     
    I am waiting for them to release the next set of sailings.  Must act fast as the free cruises are redeemed pretty quickly.
