Agree. They are different at night from each other.

I saw a write up of dinner in the solarium on allure and harmony. It's free but the same menu each night but worth booking one night. The writer said lovely service. I think there might have been a pasta station. Mediterranean food it says. No one posts the menu I have seen just pictures of their food. The writer said it was still good on harmony but the appetizers were already pre planted, not just go up and get or ask for what you want like on allure. He said they were still good. The 2 stations are in the WJ the buffet. Where they can do crepes or whatever there at the station, fresh. I did allure, harmony booked b2b2b. Later this year. I'll be on oasis next week and might try the solarium once for dinner.

2 of those in person stations in buffet. Like to make stir fry. No solarium pool. Solarium dinner apps are pre planted. Allure they were not.

Sounds like a casino deal or something. Prices here are high too. Used to find $100 a day, then $150, it's now pushing past $150 a day. I'm solo and read these prices and never understand why people think its accurate to state per person and assume everyone is a couple. I'm with someone on another thread, prices are getting too high.

If you are not there at 5 pm then you are either holding up a 2 top if you are late or holding up your table from ordering. I hate to be seated with people who arent there on time. If I cant be there on time I eat in the buffet.

Ship time. So oasis from miami eastern. Allure from Galveston texas time. Midnight.

Sounds awesome to me. If I was already moved to florida I'd do it. Maybe 2024 and beyond if another b2b thru the canal.

If he buys the drink pkg she still has to call and buy the refreshment pkg which isnt that cheap. They dont care about doctors notes. Just call. The free drinks arent on physical cards, just loaded to your sea pass.

I think all cruises that long will have some dress up night. Imo you could still wear your smart casual and it would work. Just if you want to get more dressed up.

I agree a journey cruise is different. I did a carnival journey cruise to Alaska and it's my favorite cruise. A naturalist talked the night before what to see the next day. Lots of seniors all lined up in chairs on deck with binoculars hahahaha. But I loved it. I think a lot didnt see it's a journey cruise or seem to realize it's a little better.

The 11 am free wine beer water is oasis class . .just for clarification. Some will board smaller ships thinking they get this. I know op asked about harmony but some reading this might not catch it.

I think the confusion is I see all the time get double pts in a suite as if solo didnt exist. New math. .. if I didnt see people calling it double all the time ..

What is masters level?

Maybe you just need a ta with rcl group prices. Just your opinion prices are cheaper. As I said I'm only looking at Galveston and 7 days or more. Even a inside costs me more on carnival than a inside balcony on rcl. Each to his own. Each is entitled to their opinions. I dont know how to get refundable group rates for less on carnival. Nothing against carnival it just makes no sense to book and pay more. .. I wouldnt be diamond on carnival if I didnt used to cruise more with them, but they sure raised prices. Yes I know so has rcl. My wallet decides. I'm older, the one thing I didnt like on carnival was the volumn of the pool music. I did vista since covid and b2b breeze so 3 since covid.

Not cheaper for me. Carnival is hundreds more for me out of Galveston. I get D+ and solo discount on rcl. I dont get casino offers. I think it's a myth people say carnival is cheaper. Used to be cheaper... though I dont book the shorter cruises hardly ever on either line. If carnival was cheaper I'd have more than the one booked. I'm solo and carnival gives me no discount but rcl does.

Yes any place except the stand alone Starbucks. Maybe because the other places say Starbucks brand they are confused.

I'm 3 pts from diamond on carnival. I have one journey cruise booked 14 days. Usually journey cruises have some throwback like late night buffet or something like the olden days or a speaker. Lunch and pizza better on carnival, but I used to like rhe dinner menu better on rcl. Havent had the new rcl menu next week. Try the white pizza, their pizza is made from scratch. Their steak restaurant I could still order surf and turf. Lobster included gone from choose, it's a upcharge on rcl. Lobster rolls on the fresh fish market good.

The blog I read said this same ship also was oversold last dec. 2nd time for this ship. I can see them targeting locals as it would be easier to do the 6 day if you werent flying. .. but rcl works in mysterious ways. I checked cruisefare for wonder out of port Canaveral and just the cruisefare started over 2k before taxes and fees .. and up. Couldnt book in my time frame under 2k starting prices.

I think we had 183 pinnacles my first week last dec. Saw a lot of gold pins.

I dont eat pasta. I plan on ordering thr filet.

Then dont take it. I think for me a full refund for a high priced new ship, a free cruise and obc I'd be tempted. Offer seems very good to me. Wish oasis got it.

Dont pin your hopes on the outside part of the Havana bar. I tried twice and a long wait to try a shot of cuban coffee. The bar tenders ignore the outside folks on my cruise.

There are multiple recent threads about the high prices. The americans are also complaining.

This was last dec and we complained but the diamond lounge ambassador said she had to do 5 pm as it was fleetwide. Problem was I had dinner also at 5 so never had the snacks, though I hung around once to see them and they looked really good.

You can use your card and always gain entry. It will be open for snacks at 5 pm.
