@ryanbarckley Thanks for that information! It helps getting to see how others break it down. I'll keep the room steward in mind when we are looking at cash to bring for tipping. Thanks again! 🙂

^ Thanks! I'll check out that thread! 🙂

Hey all! Quick question! We just booked the Royal Loft Suite on Allure of the Seas, and I was curious about the Royal Genie, and tipping. I know it varies by country, and I know that typically tipping means "To Insure Proper Service." - So, that being said... How would you go about tipping your Royal Genie, and how much is appropriate? 

There are 4 of us sailing, and we were thinking $100 per couple per day. Does that seem about right? To high? To low? This Royal Genie thing is new to us... And I want to make sure we do it right! 

Thank you! 🙂

Oh my goodness I can't believe I'm posting this!! My boyfriend has yet to propose, but we have been talking about getting married on a cruise to Alaska in August/September 2019. But seeing all your posts, I'm kind of freaked out that we are not even booked on a cruise yet. Should I be worried, should we hurry up and book the cruise at least?

One of the reasons we want to get married on a cruise ship is because we don't want it to be too huge a deal.

Thank you to everyone who posts here, your experience (and your questions) are super helpful! <3 <3

I'd say he needs to propose, and you need to get the cruise booked! I wouldn't be so afraid of getting married on a cruise ship. I think it's like anything in life. You ask 100 people the same question you're going to get 400 different answers. You just got to do what's best for you all!! Best of luck, and let us know how it turns out! :)

... Should I be worried if they can even handle a wedding?

Yikes!! :o:o:o

I'm sorry you've had such a bad experience. We have had nothing but a GREAT experience with them. I'm sure they can handle a wedding no problem. I mean, they wouldn't really still be in business if they couldn't. Hoping your experience improves for you!!!

Hey everyone!!

I'm a bit new to the site, and to cruising! We just booked our first cruise together on-board Allure Of The Seas! Departing June 23rd 2019!! I'm so super excited for this! I've been dying to get on board an Oasis class ship since Oasis Of The Seas first came out!! They are just so massive, it's amazing!!

Not only am I excited for the cruise... Because... Well... Cruise!!! I'm also excited because on the second day of the cruise my partner and I will be getting married!! :eek: :eek: :eek:Having never been on a cruise, (and having never been married) ... We are both BEYOND excited for this!!! :D:D

Thought I'd pop in hear and start a G&L Roll Call to hopefully get connected with a few of you all and get to know anyone a little better that might be on the cruise as us!! New friends are always a great thing!! Especially when you have a large venue to fill! :')

Hey Cruisers,

So I've got to say that I am THRILLED to announce that my partner and I are finally getting to "tie the knot!" (Ugh, I so hate that phrase.) But anyway, I have NEVER been on a cruise, and I've never been married... So all of this is a bit new to me! I've started this thread in hopes of getting guidance or advice from others who have had similar experiences with on-board weddings. Maybe the same ship/same venue!? But this is not only for me to get advice, but for a place others can refer back to in the future for wedding advice that might be specific to Allure Of The Seas!

We are currently booked in Dazzles for a June 2019 wedding, the second day of the cruise! (Sea Day!) However, the venue is MASSIVE!!! Like 75-100 people massive... And, its well... Just 5 of us going. So my first question is... Will that not make the ceremony seem a bit awkward?? Like this massive empty room for just a few people?! Has anyone here ever had, or know of someone who has had a smaller ceremony on-board?? How did it turn out?

I'm just going to start with that one question for now and as we progress through the planning I'll ask more questions as they come up! Thanks in advance for everyone's help!

I'm officially getting married on embarkation day the Allure of the Seas in June 2019! We're going to St. Kitts, St. Thomas, and Nassau! I know that it's over a year away but I can't wait to start planning!

I'm pretty sure we will be getting married on the same cruise!! (The dates and itinerary seem to match up!) We were going to do embarkation day on Allure in June of 2019, but they told us it was already booked. So instead we are doing the second day of the cruise! (Sea Day) In Dazzles!!! SO EXCITED!!

Can't wait to follow along as you plan yours! (I might even get a few ideas!) ;p

Congrats on the big day!!
