@brilloheadHope weather holds out for you tomorrow in Cozumel. I'm seeing about 50% chance of rain for you tomorrow and again for us next Friday. Sorry you'll be getting off Sunday when we're getting on. I have thoroughly enjoyed this thread that you and @Ozark_Kidput together and others have contributed to. It's been great information. Thank You!

We've done Money Bar in Cozumel but hadn't discovered Sky Reef. Looks good, especially for something different. How much is taxi fare from where Allure docks? Is there any type of beach - can't tell for sure from the pics? I know beach & good snorkeling don't necessarily mix.

That's how mine was when reservations1st opened. I was actually able to book in the APP when that appeared online, then a day or two later, the ability to book was available online (and also still, in the app).

Yes, thanks! I noticed last night it was back to showing correctly and it appeared you could make reservations in advance again. You're right, my reservation was listed the entire time, just as a generic comedy show without the details. It's all back to "normal" now. 5 days until boarding!!!

Lost the text I'd written to go with the screenshot above. If you look in the app for our Allure cruise next week, you will see a blue box each day under Daily Planner which will show you info/highlights for the day. Says White Night will be Day 5/Thursday which will also be Costa Maya day and Mexican Night in MDR.

I'm sailing on Allure Feb 5th. I was able to make a reservation for the adult comedy show in Comedy Live when the entertainment reservations 1st opened up for my cruise the beginning of January AND it is still showing up in My Calendar on the app (but no longer with details). I mention this because the adult comedy show schedule no longer shows in the app and it's gone from the cruise planner on the internet. I also can no longer see the Adult Comedy Show schedule on the current Allure sailing. I'm just guessing, but to me it's looking like you can no longer make a reservation for this show in advance, only once you can access the app onboard. You can still make reservations in advance for the other 3 shows (Aqua, Ice, Mamma Mia) btw. I'll be curious to see if the honor my comedy show advance reservation once I'm onboard or if I'll I've to reserve it again. I'll be checking right away as soon as I board.

I thought this disappointing because I had read here on CC a couple of months ago how the Allure's CP was one of the better ones because the Allure is older and the plants had had time to mature. Oh well, still looking forward to our 1st at sea park in a couple of weeks.

Red Bull channel? Had to Google that one. 😉 Hadn't come across that one before, at least by name.

I didn't pay any extra for my passport renewal and it took 7 weeks minus 1 day. I mailed it on 10/27/22 and got it back in the mail on 12/15/22. You should be fine. Good Luck! P.S. I'm in Houston area. Can't remember off the top of my head which office I sent it to. I wonder if those taking longer went to different places and/or are new vs. renewal. Except poor @Mum2Mercy

FYI - I had access to reservations on the app before access on their website. I had noticed the page banner had changed on the internet, but the shows weren't showing to book yet. I happened to look on the app & they were there. I think the app had them a couple of days earlier than website. I noticed reservations available in the app at about 33 days out. My cruise is Feb 5th. I'd heard on CC that they were possibly releasing on the 1st of the month prior to the cruise but since that was New Year's and the Monday holiday the 2nd, maybe it took a couple of more days? Or maybe it's always around 30 days out?

Hello! On the news this morning - Tues 1/17/23 - Galveston itself was experiencing zero visibility due to fog. I was curious whether this had been effecting any cruise arrivals/departures recently. Anyone keeping track? I know it's the season for it! We sail Feb 5-12 on the Allure of the Seas. Thanks!

2nd Refreshment Package question not to be confused with the one I just posted. Let's say DH wants to indulge in an alcoholic Lava Flow. Can he order the non-alcoholic one with his package and just pay for a shot of rum "on the side"? So maybe paying around $10+gratuity instead of full $14+gratuity? Has anyone done this? I'm thinking for an extra cash tip the bartender would go ahead and mix it in as well instead of serving it on the side. Thoughts? Thanks!

Hello! We are sailing on the Allure soon. DH is getting the Refreshment Package instead of Deluxe Beverage Package for 1st time. I just want to be sure I'm correctly telling him what is included. The official list: Fountain Soda Freestyle beverages Non-alcoholic cocktails (mocktails) Still and sparkling water Premium coffees and teas (I know not THE Starbucks location) Fresh-squeezed juices Question is are the following included - and for sure included or do they vary by ship (of course no, if venue isn't even on the ship) and/or bartender: Energy Drinks Johnny Rockets Milkshakes/Malts Vitality Spa Smoothies Anything else I'm not thinking of? Thank you!

I booked 1/1/23 for 2/5/23-2/12/23. I was charged full amount immediately. Shows up as "Galveston Wharves". When booking it is listed as one price for your particular cruise, not per day btw. I booked North lot uncovered btw. I just reserved under the wire with a coupon code that's since expired. W/o coupon we may have used our regular lot Lighthouse parking with covered spot, high ground. We're giving POG North Lot a try this time around.
