Look into a Jr suite. It may be a little more but lots more space and a tub. It also has priority embarking which would be nice for the kids.

Since the birth certificate will have her mother listed and not grandmother, you will have to have the court order allowing guardianship to make sure it all connects.

FYI

I took a friend of my sons whose mother kept her maiden name and he used his passport. We were pulled aside and had to have the b/c faxed into the pier office showing that she was in fact his mother who signed the authorization document.

I remember that one

 

 

 

And I miss that feature!!!! A LOT:)

I emailed you!

from what has been posted online via social media sites, there have been some pictures

(not high quality or well defined) of a signpost indicating a way to skip/bypass the regular

line.

use of this bypass line will not be welcome by the 7-15 people who are waiting patiently to have their turn.

There is definitely a camaraderie of the people who share the flowrider all week long, and the person who thumbs their nose at this reasonable protocol is not someone I would want to be / see or know.

 

It is unfortunate that Royal Caribbean advertised "exclusive flowrider access" as a perk of the new suite program and then really haven't delivered. They should have opened up earlier hours (or midday or late) for the few people within the suite program who might use it.

But as their planning team usually does, they've implemented 1st. and then figured out how to deal with it 2nd. Most unfortunate in my opinion.

I know that Andrew will be on an Oasis class ship here in a couple weeks and I will be on one in late September and I will be curious to see how things go.

Maybe Andrew and you can convince the concierges/sports staff to open it up a little early for the suite guest. My husband rides and agrees bypassing the lines will get him angry stares and not look favorable upon.

Just off the phone with C and A and were told that yes the policy has been postponed and also the "Customer Appreciation" Promo has been postponed as well.

Because they don't appreciate their customers???:rolleyes::rolleyes:

Could you please post a link where you saw that, if it is early access instead of fast pass that would be great.

Is there a suite/pinnacle waiting area in the terminal?

Just curious - will this cause anyone posting here to cruise either:

 

1. Less often

2. In inside or outside cabins

3. With other lines

 

If the answer is no, Royal has no reason to change this back...

I normally sail in suites and try to find a good deal when they pop up. The discount was nice to have. It will make me re think booking last minute cruises and the ones I do book, I will be spending less on board, especially drinking, eating at speciality resturants and gambling. Royal normally got my money that way, now I will be a little less free with spending additional $ on those cruises

That seriously is one of the only perk that is worth anything. I book lots of cruises less than 6 months out.

Is Coastal Kitchen open for lunch on embarkation day?

No, the suite lounge has a small buffett

We were on the Oasis July 16 sailing and ate inn Coastal Kitchen every night.

 

They were introducing their new-every-night menus. The food we consumed was some of the best on any ship that we have sailed. Some of the dishes were simple and some of them were complex...all were excellent except one basic pasta dish that was good but not exciting.

So they have changed the menus. Does anyone know if this is the case on Allure.

OK. I give up. Are there or aren't there luggage tags on RCCL anymore?

 

Sailing for the first time on RCCL (Anthem) in October. This will be our first cruise w/o luggage tags mailed to us in advance. Besides the option of obtaining tags from the porters and wasting time filling them out at the pier, what can you do? How are you supposed to attach a sheet of printed paper to your suitcase?

They started sending out only to suites and pinnacles a few years back and now they supposedly stopped sending them out for suites and pinnacles, but an error in the RC code sometimes pops up the button to order them. So the answer is probably not mailing them out. You now have to print them out from the online check in area and them fold and staple or tape. Many people buy luggage tag holders to slip them into to make it easier. They also will have tags at the port when you drop off your baggage with the porters.

Got my tags today in the mail.

Ordered August 3rd for the September Allure cruise.

Living in Atlanta, Delta is normally the best option for travel with their locations served and flight times, but I have to give it up to Southwest.

They were able to accommodate the lady I was speaking to for a very reasonable flight cost of 164.00.

Crisis averted. I told her to make sure she contacts Delta, so they can accommodate her on her return flight and not cancel the ticket.

Sitting here in the Atlanta airport expecting to get on a flight to Detroit. I talked to one woman who was supposed to be on her way to Orlando to meet friends and go cruising. She does have insurance, so I recommended calling Southwest ASAP to try to get on one of their flights.

We watched a movie on the outdoor screen of the allure and enjoyed it. The wind and the sound of the ocean was great. It was so relaxing after a long excursion day. That's the nice thing about cruising. There are so many options for everyone.

Are the new menus on Allure?

Not on my reservation for September Allure.

Checked today, lo and behold it was there.

Just the bed and sofa bed. The bed upstairs does pull apart into twins. The attendant can make the bed downstairs to be a little more roomy like 2 twins.

I my two times with four people in a CL my son and his friend both 18 years old were totally fine. The next time my friend and her mother shared without any difficulties.

There are umbrellas at the entrance sometimes

Another hint. Call ahead for room service and specify a time to be delivered versus calling and then having to wait quite a while. Sometimes it can be a long wait.

I just looked over all 3 tiers and the only one that didn't look to have any changes was Sea Class....

 

This is what I had saved from the original flyer [ATTACH]391209[/ATTACH]

Thank you for this. We sailed in the Sky class in May on Oasis and I tried the thermal suite for the first time and it was amazing. We are sailing on Allure's President's cruise in a Sky class and was looking forward to the thermal suite on a sea day.

I will bring the flyer you posted as proof of the amenity when I booked the cruise just in case.

marti315-What? No suite free cocktail hour? Surely that is incorrect. Suites have gotten that perk for years, way before the "new" suite program started. What about those Suite Lounges on Oasis class ships and Liberty? If suites no longer get the complimentary cocktail hour, why converting from Concierge Lounges to Suite Lounges?

I think she is talking about the beverage cart that would go to all of the star rooms.

We ate in there and asked for to go plates for our suite mates. I think it would be best to go and order it up there and enjoy a glass of wine or beer while you wait or make arrangements if you go for breakfast with the matrie d or hostess.
