    To each his own.

    No more tux rentals on Royal or Celebrity.

    Now I understand, it's Spirit that's destroyed formal nights!

    Our last cruise was on Allure in August an no issues getting cards punched. Lanyards are the easiest way to carry card!

    So, what is the issue with producing luggage tags? It was never an issue in the past - you completed your check-in and “bam” your luggage tags were ready for printing. Don’t understand the pending, they’re not saving paper as it’s our paper if there are any cabin changes.

    Yes, you can use them. We bought some in Costco years ago and used to keep in touch with kids. Also, good for use on shore at beach with no cell charge.

    They basically destroyed the gym/fitness Center. Hugely disappointing. We’re on EOS in May after next dry dock and hoping they don’t do the same.

    How many people order extra plates? Most times, it’s the wait staff offering to bring more (as “better” service equals better tips).

    Another Covid casualty. Spoke with GS on Allure and it’s gone and not coming back. Very sad, it was a nice service especially for the holidays and big convenience if you don’t want to carry one.

    One thing we keep missing to do is this restaurant. I always wanted to try, me being a beefeterian. 🙂. Guess out of site up in the Solarium, out of mind. We’re on Anthem next month, not sure if they have Samba.

    We were on that cruise as far as Barcelona, it was a bummer they were doing work but there was still so much to do. Got to see Mamma Mia on that cruise before they moved the show to Allure. I wouldn’t be happy on Allure if the Solarium was closed.

    No, you’ll be surprised at how intimate these ships are. Generally, we’ve never felt crowded on Oasis Class Ships. Have a great time!

    We’re on Dec 18 and still can’t check in

    Interesting thread. My understanding was that family in same cabin were treated as the family member of highest tier. The most obvious benefit being the balcony fare discount. However, family do not get all benefits. Our son didn’t get extra drink vouchers until he himself hit diamond.

    Be firm, insist to speak to the hotel director and insist they move you. Forget the concierge, go through hotel director. If they don’t want you to speak with them, then they should just move you.

    I agree with a lot of what you say. For the most part, not much of any difference between food in MDR and Windjammer. Years ago, there was an obvious difference. Years ago too, people dressed up for the MDR, now people dress pretty much the same way in both. We still go to MDR and specialty for the experience of dining. DW likes the experience.

    So true, good hack!

    You identify the only thing I really like about the older and smaller ships, they can have better itineraries. It’s really a balancing between the two. I like the bigger newer ships as destinations unto themselves and can’t wait to go on IOTS. Great and privileged to have great options.

    As others have pointed out, what is the big deal. No one has wronged you, you were not deceived by a sales person. You buy something above your limit, you pay the tax, that’s it.

    And, how easy is it to constantly blame others for the woes in one’s life. Could the contractor who operates the stores on ship do a better job? Yes. RCL lists the info online. Anyone who travels a little knows you have limits on what can be brought in duty free. At the end of the day, the buyer is responsible.

    Well, they seem to be getting most things right. Most innovative cruise line, we can’t wait for next January.
  23. Airbear232
    Wow, thems would be fighting words, but on reflection, if more feel like you, she’ll be easy to book! Can’t wait. Will be even more excited if they have Hamilton as the show! 🙂

    Did anyone not look at FAQs on Royal’s website? https://www.royalcaribbean.com/faq/questions/are-the-onboard-shops-duty-free

    If you’ve never travelled in your life, I can understand the confusion. For anyone else - seriously! Purchase limits are well communicated by the government. Don’t blame the cruise line. Yes, it would be great if they explain process. And, they probably should. But, didn’t anyone think to ask in the shop how it would be handled coming home? Same goes for OP who is at least diamond.
