Some of the missing benefits will appear on the welcome letter from the ship’s LA.

I’m on Allure presently and there’s 1 person hiding behind the pole by the kitchen door and the eggs, pancakes, etc station that takes orders for fresh made eggs and omelets. Unlike the Anthem the omelet stations which at times may be 2-4 at any given time is not readily advertised on Allure. I had to ask and was told whom to see. I sailed Oasis in September ‘21 and can’t recall if there was one or not. Will find out in October sail. Also, these stations on Anthem are converted to pasta stations at lunch. Don’t know if same at dinner. prior to that pandemic, the MDR on Oasis class and the Q class had a buffet area that had a couple of omelet maker and at lunch pasta stations. Keep asking if they will ever bring it back. Unknown at this time. As a solo I’ve had good performance in the turn around time i the MDR especially if I have a show to attend. Allure has probably the best production show in the fleet—mamma Mia. Filled to capacity when I attended on Tuesday.

Just like Florence and Rome they are some 1.5 hours from nearest port, but itinerary lists the cities and not the ports. 😜

You are kidding of course. Company is basically bankrupt. I bought shares in company and have already some $700 in OBCs

On Allure now and a very relaxed dress code. I stopped bringing suit or sport jacket in a number of sails as I felt overdressed 🤣

After cabins are available usually at the 1nish

I have some shipshape tees that I paid with shipshape $. Bring back shipshape $. Rewards for exercises and other activities will help in bringing down weight on these cruises😜

Royal during the Labor Day was having a sale for the Key program of $16.99 pp/pd for our Oasis October sail. When you consider that S&S on board pricing internet plan is $26.99 per day, it's a no brainer. Also, included is lunch at Chops on embarkation day,

Got the key sale of $16.99 for my Oasis October 9 sail. Cheaper even with the D+ internet discount. Plus get lunch and other miscellaneous perks.

Be careful as I got a text supposedly from UPS and thought of your post that a crystal block was coming. However, the text looked fishy and I did not open the link to reschedule the delivery as UPS did not recognize the data on the text and also looked it up by my address. Nothing was pending Will have to call the D+ desk.

No booster as of now and no testing for vaxxed as of September 5th for those US sails that do not visit Bermuda and Canada.

They assigned my SIL C&A # to his daughter. Only found out because the agent was having problems getting the D balcony discount. When I did a mock booking the system does not distinguish names and #, but at least it calculated both the resident and the balcony discount. There's a lot of funky happening to some of the reservations. Travel insurance and prepaid grats were included on 2 bookins for Oasis August 20. '23 sails, even though it was refused.

I've been assigned an 11-check-in time, which is one of the earliest times.

Same, I had to call C&A D+ desk and they could not find my order. They requested it again. It's been some 4 weeks since. Ps. You did not miss much on the lunch. Only 4 Paxs in the American Icon and the officer and assistant simply just about waved and never sat down. So disappointed.

Still waiting for my Anthem block from our Easter cruise. Either slow mail or a shortage of A blocks.😆

Went to Urgent Care and got my Rapid Test (Antigen) for Saturday sail and came back Negative. Yippee, my last test, hopefully.

If refundable just go to customer service and cash out what you need. Done it a few times.

Too bad, as they used to be quite helpful and very knowledgeable. I think next time, I'll call the Casino desk.

You know you would think that the D+ desk would have knowledgeable people. First asked the agent to verify the 3 days test requirement for C19 as I'm sailing this Saturday. He told me 2 days for vaxxed Paxs. Asked him to verify and after 5 minutes, he apologized and said that it was 3 and not 2. Hoping those folks at check-in are knowledgeable. Second asked about the grats old/new and he told me that the old rate up to 9/6 and the new rate effective 9/7. 😜😜

That is what I'm doing tomorrow at 8AM for my sail on Saturday.

The 8 are from your insurance company or Medicare?

My sail is on September 3. will there be a split of old and new rates based on the effective date.

When I looked at OasisCentral Balcony for August 20, 2023 sail it averaged about $1k pp with the D balcony discount and adjoining cabins. However, if you allowed Royal to sect the cabin the price was lower by approximately $200 pp. One of the biggest spread that I’ve seen.

Looks like the problem is resolved as I'm able to look at the August, '23 sailing details. Amen!🙏

Yes, to be safe as they will ask for it at checking. The icon to upload the vaccine card is no longer available in the APP.
