Did you have the ceviche? I'm curious if that was any good.

We did B2B on Allure. Beach Club on the 4 day and Hideaway on the 3 day. The ceviche at Hideaway was the same as what was served at the Beach Club in the appetizer tray. It was served in a plastic cup and accompanied by plantain chips that were separated from the ceviche in a plastic lid.

I thought it was very good. 

Trying to use dp340 with a Next Cruise open reservation for an October 2024 cruise and told it cannot be used with a NC reservation. Does that sound right?

Thank you both!

Reservations are linked and we are all booked for 7p each night. I will provide all the info in an email 2 weeks out and check once onboard.

Thanks again!

Any recent experience with this? Is rcldining@rccl.com email address still good? Are there ship-specific dining email addresses? 2-3 weeks before cruise best time to send request? Trying to set up a my time table for 11 on Wonder.

Thank you

Currently on Independence 4 nt. It was a No at Giovanni's and Chops so we just used one for Giovanni's night 2. Excellent meal.

When we arrived Monday for Independence we were directed up the parking ramp where people were stationed at each lane with handheld cc payment devices. We were given an 'Independence' receipt to put on the dashboard along with a regular cc receipt.

Princess used to have them 

They still do. One $3 token for washer and one for dryer.

Allure Sep 10-17. Two of us in Crown Loft and two in Grand Suite. Told No at a couple restaurants then asked Concierge if he could help. He made a call and it was still No.

Average 7 cruises per year and this was the first time we were not able to book/pay on day one or two and use it later in the cruise.

We'll try again on upcoming cruises and see what happens.

Thank you elizabethbp! Maybe I should not have asked specifically for Allure but any recent CT experiences.

yes we were on Serenade Aug 12-17

Last week Park Cafe was open until 2AM on at least 2 nights. When we got the "casino is closing in 10 minutes warning" at 1:50AM I made it to the PC in time for pizza and sandwiches before they closed.

Any recent experiences at Chef’s Table on Allure? Just off Serenade and did not have a good one. The food was great but service very slow. We started with the champagne cocktail at 6:15 and dinner was not complete until after 9:30. We all agreed we could have dealt with the delays between courses if they kept the wine flowing as was our experience at previous Chef's Tables. There were 10 of us and they opened just one bottle per course so we each got about a half glass then our waiter would disappear until the next course came out.

We booked CT on Allure in September but if this is the new normal fleetwide we will cancel.

Thank you.

Thank you!

How about if I have the comped cabin and I show up but my cabin mate does not? Will his taxes/fees be refunded?

Thank you.

me too

Thank you!

The annual Prime free cruise offer has an expiration date. Does the cruise need to sail by that date, or you just have to book it by that date?

Thank you!

Once it posts to your 'account', where in the app or online do you see it?

Thank you

we watched her sail away earlier on the port cam(we thought). Did she leave and return?

not a question for the OP as they did not board...

You need to be in at least an ocean view balcony to bid on GS/OS CLS suites. If you are in say a neighborhood balcony, the highest class you will be able to bid on is a JS.

I can confirm this. We were neighborhood balcony gty on Harmony Nov 21 and our RU options were up to Jr Suite. Got a good deal to upgrade to Jr Suite and once the RU updated we then had the option to bid on all suites above Jr suite.

$200.00 per person. The maximum on the invite was $220.00 per person.

 

Got one of the JS4 cabins on the hump with the walk-in shower which is what I wanted.

Excellent. Thank you and Congrats!

My JS Royal Up just got confirmed.

Would you mind sharing how much you bid?

I think I'd pay $100, I really do, we absolutely loved it.  Maybe not 169 though.  Ido not understand how they could justify over that when there are plenty of us who got the lower prices, we booked it at $92 pp back in March and then it came down a couple weeks later so we canceled/re booked. 

Thanks Becci! We will think about the $100 and be watching for price decrease.

All of the coffee machines in junior suites and above, at least on Odyssey, Symphony and Freedom, have been changed to Lavazza. 

We had one in our jr suite on Allure. Very nice.

$60-70/pp is reasonable. $100/pp is a stretch. On our first visit to the club it was $65/pp. On our upcoming 10/10 Allure, it is $169/pp definitely not anywhere near worth that price.😱

Thank you. I just looked at our March cruise and it is $179!
