Deployment 2025-26 booking season begins
SherriZ366 replied to SummmerInKefalonia's topic in Royal Caribbean International
I'm assuming out of Port Canaveral. Replacing Wonder -
Is Captain Loy on Icon now as the ship has left the Turku shipyard and is sailing to the Shipyard in Cadiz for finishing.

I also like the sun pattern -- especially on an Eastern itinerary. Of course, the Suite Sun deck is close by -- just have to remember to put a towel down on the lounger before I sit down!! -

We're in 1758 -- a few doors down from 1770 -- in the quieter hall. We visited the "door" when we were on Wonder in August. -

She thought she'd be back for our March 3 cruise (another one with you and Bucky getting off when we get on -- we've got to sail together again.) We're in a GS on Deck 17. I got spoiled when I sailed in a Crown Loft on Harmony in the January after the re-start -- the ship was pretty empty and I bid on a CL. You were a big help to me with lots of bidding questions and parking (first time I have sailed alone as Chuck was recovering from shoulder surgery). -
That makes sense. We've sailed on Allure 3 times since she had the modified drydock. they only did work on the propulsion system etc. However, the 2 story Diamond Lounge and the champagne bar were not touched. I think there will be a Tiki Bar for the Champagne bar -- they are phasing out the Bionic bars for this new watering hole. I have heard cabins in the DL space but that was pre-Covid -- they could do a restaurant here.

Agree about the Tuna (I always pack a small tube of Wasabi to enhance it). The same menu had a great veal chop. I like their poached lobster but on our last cruise -- AllureB2B we could have the regular broiled lobster. The Veloute for an appetiser is a soup that is poured over a piece of French Bread and that has seafood on it. Their wedge salad. If you sail on the 3/4 night back to back, you have the filet twice -- both night 1s, the ribeye -- both nights 2, the lobster - night 3, and I think tuna the last night (of the 4 night cruise). We did this itinerary on Allure earlier this month and are sailing it on Utopia in August and December. Hope you and Bucky had a great Thanksgiving!!! -

Ha Ha!! isn't Grace a wonderful CK Hostess/Manager. She was in CK for our August Cruise that had about 14 Pinnacles so we could have eaten there any night -- we were in a JS also. However, we were with the family and ate most meals in the MDR except for Lobster Night in CK. They surprised us with an anniversary cake and a serenade. We are sailing on Wonder in March and Grace will still be our Hostess. -

Totally agree -- that's why we try for GSs when we get a deal (sailing on Allure B2B in a GS with an incredible price from when it was first offered) or have some extra money. On the family cruise, we could have had CK reservations every night -- we did eat there on Formal Night. August 6 -- high summer with lots of families and few Pinnacles. We used the Suite Lounge as much as possible and took advantage of Concierge assisted departure for Suite and Pinnacle Guests as well as the continental breakfast. We were in a JS -- so had both forms of access. -

We sailed in a JS on Indy a few months ago and booked unlimited dining, which we enjoyed. It was a four night cruise. We did a family cruise in August and although I enjoyed the company, the MDR is noisy especially when they do the shows and I'm spoiled with CK food. -

Nice that the waiter apologized for the extremely rude couple. I figured that you were sailing in a full suite. -

SherriZ366 replied to SummmerInKefalonia's topic in Royal Caribbean International
Need to start watching 2025-2026 deployments and then tracking prices. Most interested in Port Canaveral sailings -
Is that the parking lot being paved? Thanks so much!!

Electronic Shareholder Benefit Submittal

Printed out statement page showing RCCL stockownership. Covered account numbers manually with a black pen and then re-scanned and uploaded with the electronic form. All cruises got the proper OBC. -
Having beds separated in advance
SherriZ366 replied to cruiseorcamp's topic in Royal Caribbean International
Have requested beds separated for our last two cruises and it was done. Will be interesting to see if that's the case on the third one. -

That was what I wondered about (bad pun) -
We're one month out today

Royal Caribbean terminal one parking Port Canaveral
SherriZ366 replied to molly361's topic in Florida Departures
We were told they were expanding surface parking and could see construction when we sailed in early August. -
Port Canaveral has added surface spaces for Terminal 1
-
Good advice.

I think the Champagne Bar will be replaced with a Tiki Bar.

The only thing that was "Amped" during Allure's 2021 drydock were the propulsion system and related systems. The drydock happened during the pandemic while cruises were on hiatus -- RCI wanted to save money and only did what was necessary. I liked that they kept the Diamond Lounge on Decks 11 and 12, which has great views because of the lack of slides. I was also glad they did not substitute the Bionic Bar for the Champagne Bar. We're sailing a back to back on Allure later this year and will enjoy the fact that these changes didn't happen.

Thanks for posting. Hope he returns in 2024!! 🤞
