We prefer to go the night before so we can relax.  We usually find a hotel that will allow you to leave your car parked there for free during the duration of your cruise.  The price of the hotel  is usually close to the cost of parking  for a week to  ten days.

You can also go down to Guest services each day and get a complete print out.  But on the last day it only shows purchases.

May have something to do with the tropical storm in the  Caribbean and taking on enough fuel to ride out the storm if that became necessary

The ramps at Terminal 5 are a hike.  Partially under cover.

We were on the Mariner last week and we walked off at 7am,  We were out front at 720am.

Yes.  I know we sail from the Tarragona terminal.  Thanks for the info.

We are cruising on October 7 sailing out of Barcelona.  Can we still bring 12 soda and 6 waters onboard same as departures from the US Ports?  Did not find any mention in our recently issued cruise documents.

MSC by far.  Over 40 cruises.  Most with  Royal but have sailed several other cruise lines large and small.  MSC Guest Relations and Customer Service is non existent.

If you order bottled water in the Diamond Lounge it counts as a drink on your voucher.  Ask for a glass of water instead.   They did this on the Harmony and the Symphony recently when we sailed.

I requested $250 OBC yesterday from B of A for our sailing on April 3 and it is already posted to our account and we got an updated booking confirmation from Royal showing the OBC.  The notice stated you can add OBC up to 7 days prior to your sailing date.  Hope this helps.

Do not take UBER from the Port of Miami upon your return.  UBER charged us $73 to the Miami Airport.  They only charged us $33 from the airport to the Cruise Port going.  Take a Taxi.

Did they strictly adhere to scheduled check in times at the pier for embarkation? We were assigned 200PM.  Repeated requests for earlier times were told absolutely no earlier check in.  Todays call was quite rude in fact that no one could check in earlier.

We are on the May 6th sailing also.  We are so ready for this.  Sailed Oasis and Allure several times. 

We were in Room 6186 and loved deck 6.  Convenient to everything.

Captain Rob is my favorite Royal Captain.  Love his sense of humor.

Had the same issue last week.  Spent hours with IT on the phone.  It is a glitch in their system.  RCCL finally completed my online check in for me.  Next day, same problem.  It wouldn t upload my photo for thr Allure.  RCCL again had to enter for me.  I sued IE, Chrome, and Firefox.  Didn t make any difference.  Even used wifes laptop.  Same issues.

What is the price of the new drink package on Allure of the SEas?

No email in our spam folder and another call to RCCL. RCCL says no delays that they know of.

We are on this sailing also. We are Diamond. We did not get the email. However, our relatives who are also sailing with us got the email are not diamond yet. And their check in time has been changed to 2pm. We shall see.

Just got off the phone with Royal. They had no information about a change in check in times. The person I spoke with thinks they may be just delaying check in for some of the rooms affected.

Those "refrigerators" are not ice boxes. They are meant to keep medicines cool. We carry a collapsible cooler and the room steward fills the soft sided cooler twice a day for us.

We are doing the same tour with Capt Bob in St. Maarten. Did any of the stops havea long swim to the beach or was it pretty accessible? Thanks for your review

We were there on our last cruise on March 5 2018. They had 8 sections formed but not poured yet. Looks like about at least 8 more sections to form. Don t know how long it takes to pour but they are very large pier sections.

Entertainment Reservations open up 90 days prior to sail date.

Where is the Diamond Lounge located on this ship. I was on her last May and I can not remember. Getting old.
