I had a bad TA and started booking on my own several years ago . I go on the RC website , select cruise and cabin by doing a mock booking and then call RC and book direct with them. They will take your credit card info and then send you a confirmation via email shortly after you hang up the phone. You will get a reminder email to pay off the remaining balance when it becomes due. You can book all your activities yourself ( depending on the ship ) on the website. If there are price drops you can call RC direct and they will apply the credits and send you an email with new amounts owing. ( I check the cruise price i booked by doing a mock booking ). Having said that , i will try a travel agent next cruise as the pricing has gone up dramatically this year. I will inquire about group rates. Cheers !

Agreed , its ugly . lol 🤣

They were good a few years ago , i am not a fan anymore . Way overrated in my opinion. The salad bar was good though.

One and done for me too , i did the free one several years ago. Took a few pics , looked at them and then deleted them, nobody else wants to see them anyway.🙂

That would be a very good idea , provided they are unlimited free specialty coffees . Then they could use the diamond lounge space for some revenue generating venue. Maybe another smoke free casino ?

I like wearing shorts to dinner too.😁

I print my luggage tags so the porter can attach them to my luggage , a copy of my insurance , boarding pass, and the page with the set sail pass on it. If i could, i would print the whole internets , but i dont have that much paper.😂

Me likes, LOL A Canadian defending the NFL and an American showing some love for the CFL .😀

The field is so big in the CFL , its just a matter of time before the receiver gets open , and with no pass rush , the QB has all day to throw the ball. And dont get me started on the size of the end zone , lol . 😀 The CFL is truly a different game ,I didnt think anyone south of the border had any any interest in the CFL. Lots of NFL fans up here .

Run , pass , kick . Its tougher to get 10 yards in the NFL, hence ... 4 downs . 😄

Im Canadian and i can honestly say i have never watched a CFL game ever. I watch USA college and NFL games extensively though.

I got a reminder from RC about 3 weeks before final payment due date. I paid it a week later on line and got a confirmation email about an hour later. I booked direct with RC and didnt use a travel agent for this cruise.

the ability to shout down my drink order. LOL 🤣

We usually get two tops in MTD and have had solo cruisers several times next to us by themselves. We always end up chatting with them and have nice conversations if they are receptive.

Its just the two of us , so a 15 minute ride with an airport limo to Pearson with a direct flight to Florida works for us . I dont mind this airport , but i know lots of others do. A work colleague would save a ton of money flying from Buffalo to Florida with his 3 kids.

I think i will order both and take my chances 😃

If you log in mid day it stretches over a 24 hour period so you could effectively get 4 days

Looks like a post card , nice pics !

Im in the other camp, we sail on Oasis class exclusively and sail for the ship . Dont care much for the itinerary but favor eastern Caribbean over western. Its a nice break and we get entertained and fed in a pretty nice ship.

Couldnt agree more with you , as you stated , you can wash your hands but all the serving utensils are full of germs. My solution is to eat everything with knife and fork , and i dont select food items that i need to touch. if i eat pizza i throw away the crust that i touched.

Lol , only takes about 5 minutes , and this way my white polo wont smell like ....🤣

We wipe down the inside of the drawers , Just in case the last pax was using one of them for their dirty underwear drawer. We also wipe down the shelves, as you can see some pax use them to store their shoes on you tube videos, rather than leave them on the floor.

Your welcome , but i wasnt the poster that posted the cruise , that was @taglovestocruise. They did the good deed. There are multiple youtube videos you can watch regarding the Allure. I was on it September 2022 and it was in good shape .Dont know what happened to the plants after that. Oasis is our favorite class , Enjoy the cruise !

It is quite the entrance , enjoy your cruise.🙂

Thats good to hear , as i got an email to make arrangements for final payment. I never take the negative reviews too seriously anyway, and look forward to my Harmony cruise in a few months.
