No, they don’t even require long pants. Pretty much anything other than swimwear or tank tops goes. There are no actual dress codes, just suggestions.

They did announce that and then changed their minds. There was big backlog for a while. We never got ours on a June 2022 Harmony cruise and it took 6-8 months for them to ship it to us. I *think* supplies are better for the most part now but I could be wrong or some ships could be exceptions. My in-laws received their first block onboard Wonder last June.

Rolling out of hibernation - can I get some updates?
OCSC Mike replied to poncho1973's topic in Royal Caribbean International
I don't think it's odd. While we enjoyed the old HH, we much prefer the vouchers (and my impression is so does the majority). -

Do they still count as hors d’oeuvres if you have 20? Asking for a friend. -

Cheers to that! We’re most looking forward to the drinks, BOGO specialties, & extra internet. We share one internet account & don’t mind skipping night one after sailaway so 4 free days will cover most of a 7N cruise.

Don’t even remember getting our D pins. My wife says we did. 🤷♂️ Should be getting our D+ pins 4 weeks from today. They’ll never see the light of day. Looking forward to several other perks though.

Yeah, even at D I usually had a couple sodas and a couple Trulys in the fridge. I really do want to try to use more on actual drinks though. I'm hardly a big drinker at home so ordering lots of random, interesting drinks I'd never try to make is part of the fun to me... I'm not trying to get drunk. -

Sounds like a good schedule. If/when RC implements a 3rd traditional seating at 6:30ish, we'll consider moving to that. -

Yeah, having early dining at 5pm recently was slightly annoying for that reason. FYI, the CL snacks on Wonder seemed to be out before then even though the welcome letter said HH was 5-8 & we don’t hang out there long so it was fine. We usually got to the MDR around 5:15pm and it wasn’t an issue. -

Makes sense & is a good deal if it works for you (and they let you). Mason Jar brunch on Wonder has become a go-to for us & I’ll eventually get hungry for dinner but that’s one day I won’t be snacking much in the afternoon. We have those booked at 40% off from Black Friday so it’s almost BOGO. I enjoy the morning/afternoon meals & snacking at included venues so other than MJ I’d rather save specialty for dinner to replace the MDR/WJ dinner. Night one of our next cruise is also one day after our anniversary so I could say that’s what it’s for but we’ll likely do the same thing in July just b/c it works for us schedule/menu-wise. And thanks, looking forward to our new perks. I just have to learn to drink more b/c my wife doesn’t really drink & only uses a couple vouchers per day. I look at it as a good problem to have. 🍹 🤣 -

I totally get that. We don't do much specialty dining but if I know I'm having a specialty dinner I try to cut off the eating early and not snack before dinner. If we're just doing MDR/WJ for dinner, I don't really care how hungry I am. I'm not a huge MDR fan (although some stuff was surprisingly good on Wonder in March) and don't consider it a big meal. If we go to WJ it's often later in the evening. We just turned D+ and plan to use our first BOGO on night one of next month's cruise... and my wife has already ordered me not to eat as much as I normally do on embarkation day so I have room for a big dinner. 🤣 My plan is to work on the extra vouchers in lieu of snacking all day. -

You said you didn't know why early diners don't just go to dinner. I told you why we, as early diners, don't just go to dinner. That wasn't an opinion, it was a factual explanation of why we do something you didn't understand. -

Because food is subjective and some of us early diners might enjoy them more than you do. -
Yes, anything on hangers you can just leave in the closet and everything else must be packed in your suitcases. Your stateroom attendant will move everything at some point on the morning of turnaround day. When cabins are ready around 1:00pm (just like on any other cruise), your things will be waiting for you in your new cabin.

Some of us enjoy the snacks before dinner and don't love the MDR and/or find the portions there small. I often snack off and on all day in between main meals. Different strokes... -
We had a great time at Nohoch Kay but it was many years ago.

I'll admit, I haven't been to your site in a while, mostly b/c I stick to one port and keep sailing the same ship(s) over and over, lol. Anyway, a few quick edits for ya... "Windjammer" is missing an M. Utopia will have a GIovanni's Kitchen, it's just not in Central Park. It's in the middle of the ship where Wonderland is on other Oasis class ships. I think all Oasis class ships have a Trellis Bar in Central Park but you can double check.
-
Don't blame ya. I think you need specific reasons to bother with a 3/4 B2B over a 7N... be it cost, wanting to visit PDCC twice, wanting to try Utopia, other logistics, etc.

Allure of the Seas 3-night dinner menu
OCSC Mike replied to LeopardGirl2's topic in Royal Caribbean International
Set the app to the current sailing and you should see the menus if they don't appear in the app for yours.
