I've been on 7 Christmas cruises on RC Freedom and Allure as well as Celebrity Equinox, Silhouette and Reflection.  We have ALWAYS had the option of turkey dinner in the MDR on Christmas Day. 

Excellent, thank you all!!  
Let the liquid Xmas gifts flood my room!

Giftted by whom?

 

If by RCI, then no, no corkage fee. By your TA, maybe.

 

But again, most people report not being charged

we will be on a Christmas cruise and my father wants to gift us a couple bottles

1: Yes

2: You are allowed two bottles of wine per stateroom, regardless of the number of people in the stateroom.

3: They have been honoring the drink vouchers in the MDR.

4: Corkage fee applies to any bottle of wine not purchased on the ship that is brought to a public venue, whether opened or not.

5: Sometimes there are deals, sometimes not

6: Each Diamond member gets about a  $23 discount per onboard internet purchase OR one free 24-hour period of internet.

 

 

re #4:  if we are gifted a bottle purchased from the RC website, delivered to our stateroom, will there be a corkage fee if we decide to bring it to the MDR?  

Thank you for clarifying.  I guess they haven’t updated the edocs, they really should do so to prevent misinformation being sent to passengers.  

it  must be a very recent change, as my documents are dated November 3, 2019.  

This is in my cruise docs for my upcoming Allure cruise, have the policies recently changed?  

What if I have a bottle of something on the go when I arrive at the Port, do I have to discard it if its already been opened?

Did anyone else find that the Deluxe Beverage Package didn’t change in price at all?

 

 

the DBP for my upcoming Allure was exactly the same 2 weeks ago.  No deal for DBP but RP dropped.

Are you sure they have arts and crafts sessions?   We were on the Allure last month and I just went through all the Cruise Compass newsletters and I didn't see any listing for arts and crafts.

This was on Allure a few weeks ago 🙂

Has anyone done, and/or do you recommend any of the adult arts and craft session on Allure?  any pics of the items that are made?  Just wondering if its worth signing up for.  

thanks!

For Oasis class:

 

Look at a deck plan and find cabins that are connecting. The cabin on the left as you enter the cabin will have the bed by the bathroom. The cabin on the right will have the bed by the balcony. This pattern will repeat with every pair of cabins.

Thank you!  

I’m sorry I see someone else asked this in a previous thread....will look for it to update closer to sailing and once on board.

tried to delete my post but couldn’t see a delete option.  Strange.  

All the shows and excursion I’ve booked on Allure don’t show up on my Royal Ap under “my calendar”, will it do so once we are on board?  

Under my reservation on the Ap it shows that I’ve booked something including the time but no detail as to what show or excursion.  

Not very helpful Ap so far 🙁

where can we find this information?

how Much does it cost to eat at Sabor?  

Has anyone had any experience with cabins on the 14th on Allure OTS, specifically under the Wipe Out Cafe?  We usually take great care not to stay under anything that is potentially busy and could cause noise issues, but we were limited in our selection this time.  

Thanks for your input.

we are not in Aqua for our upcoming cruise on Reflection....hoping someone who was recently on board could advise how much a weekly pass would be, since I can't seem to find a consistent price mentioned.  Thanks!  

if the ship docks at 3:30pm, that doesn't mean you will be OFF the ship at 3:30pm, I wouldn't risk it, unless its a tour booked through the ship then they will wait for you.

Technically you can purchase it pre cruise.  It is a amenity Aqua Class category so booking a AQ will allow you to “purchase” a pass pre cruise.  

 

Many times the AQ many be a better value than a lower category.   If you use a future cruise certificate you will get more SBC.   Sometimes there are promos for and extra perk that are for CC and  above.   The few extra cruise credits may be needed to get to the next level.  The other little amenities included also add up but  a lot are nothing more than fluff.  

 

It may may be something to look into and consider doing.

 

happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅

we are already booked in CC for an upcoming cruise and won't be upgrading to Aqua, just curious if we are able to purchase a pass, I've seen everything mentioned from less than to more than $100 for a week's pass.  I can wait til I'm onboard in a few weeks but was curious how much it would set me back.  

also wondering about this, if it can't be pre-booked, does anyone know how much it is to purchase on board?   We will be on Reflection, CC.  

Thank you both so much for confirming!

Many folks have said on here that they use the bottle of bubbly they get as a benefit of booking aqua or concierge class staterooms or above to do precisely what you suggest. Order OJ with breakfast and make your own. Alternatively, if you're not in one of those categories you may bring 2 bottles of wine on board. You can order alcohol, but as dkjretired said, you'll be charged full price since alcohol orders aren't covered by any beverage package.

excellent, thank you!  We are Concierge so I will happily keep that bottle cold and ready for breakfast.   Looking forward to it already!   

If I want (and I DO) Mimosa(S) for breakfast on my veranda, do I have to go fetch one at the Oceanview or is there some hack you can share with me.  Was wondering if I should bring a bottle of bubbly on board and order orange juice with my room service breakfast?  I believe I cannot order alcohol with room service, is that correct?  

Thanks for your tips!  

I apologize if this is a repeat question, but my X app shows a Tiffany & Co on deck 5 mid ship on the REFLECTION   

PLEASE tell me this is true, and if so, how is the inventory?  Definitely want to spend some of my OBC there!

THANKS!  

@ Mapleleaf14:  Excellent!!  👍
