Who's joining us?

[Kaffee32]

We'll also be on this cruise.  Just signed up last week.  We've been on many Disney cruises, but our kids are older and we're trying out Royal Caribbean for the first time.  Very excited.

Very fun! My kids are older too and looking forward to the teen activities on board. They really enjoyed the teen stuff on Navigator OTS but are disappointed that Allure OTS doesn't have water slides, LOL.

Hopefully my 14 year old will find enough to keep him happy.  He was bummed there were no water slides!  Our other kiddo will actually be newly 21, so she's interested in experiencing cruising as an adult, even if it means hanging out with mom and dad.  Haha!

14! Perfect! Mine will be 12 and 14 (girls). My 12-year-old is so excited to not be part of Adventure Ocean anymore.

Do you know if they do any structured activities in the teen area, or is it mostly hanging out?

Apologies for the late response, I just now saw this. There are structured activities! My kiddos love going to the things that they have for the teens. They will do things like half an hour for a dodgeball tournament, special reserved time for just teens for the climbing wall, etc. They can definitely go and just hang out, but my kiddos really enjoyed the structured activities more.

Yay! I was beginning to think no one was coming (HAHAHA!) since there are so few comments on this thread. 

What are you looking forward to the most?

The final countdown is on!

Going. But all the shows are booked. How do I get two seats for the shows? Cam we still get seats even though it is showing they are all sold out?

Not a problem. Just get in the stand-by line about 20-30 minutes before the show and they will release all the seats that were reserved but people didn't show up. It happens all the time - people just don't show for various reasons. You'll have no problem getting in.

@Phillip C, you might want to start a thread for the Sept 17th sailing to connect with others on it. That being said, entertainment opened up for me 42 days prior to sailing, but your mileage may vary. If you're referring to My Time Dining, I don't know - you might try posting on the RC Dining thread to find out about that.

[Casino chip collector]

Hi,

I collect casino chip for collection, could I troubler you to exchange two $1 and two $5 chips in good condition, not faded.  The chips should have Allure of the seas on it, it will make a good souvenir for the trip.  I will pay for the chips, postage and extra for the troubler you have to go through.

‘thank you in advance.

‘Regards,

Activities have posted in the RC app. My kiddos were pouring through them yesterday figuring out what they want to do on board. They've also posted the list of things that are going on in the evenings, such as a white night, formal nights, etc. Just FYI!
