Just take your passports! There are countless situations that might arise where you might need them. It is easy, small and quick...

And...to add some color commentary onto @Biker19... Dear B,Thank you for contacting the Royal Dining Department. Unfortunately it is too early for your table request at this time as the ship begins seating guests 30 days prior to sailing. Please contact us again at rcldining@rccl.com at 30 days prior to sailing and we will be able to forward your table request to the ship for processing. We look forward to welcoming you onboard! Thank you and kindest regards, Royal Caribbean Dining Administration

We are over 1 year out and already made the request. here is the response and the email to start that process request: Thank you for contacting the Royal Dining Department.

Well...in purchasing beef...there is Prime and Choice.... 😊

We found, across the board, that eating early (5:15 seating) was best. That way, you have the entire evening OPEN to do as you wish and not have to worry about getting seating. (Usually finsih eating by 6:45...) For shows that we really want to see, we send in a single person of our party (taking one for the team) to get in the venue and hold some seats for 30+ minutes until the rest show up. If you have to worry about getting seated for dinner AND there is a massive line, you lose the opportunity of getting great seats or missing the first few minutes of a show or not getting in to a show if you don't have reservations.

Viva la 'open carry'!

Do you suspect that the same 'shelving' will apply to the Adventure OTS?

We are 404 days out on Adventure OTS and virtually nothing is open for purchase. (AKA Drink package) When does it open up?

MASSIVE walk in closet! Other extras will be in part, determined by your C&A status

We got the sneak peak promo footage on our last cruise and I have seen additional 'footage' since I have been back... Is it just me getting old or does it seem like they are trying to out-do Disney in being family and kid forward??? Seams like a lot of footage effort emphasized all the young cruiser activities. Yes they still have a Solarium type area but many the other activities seem to be kid focused... Is RCI trying to redefine their target demographic? (For this class of ship???)

Magnets of places we have been to or are going to again...

Can you site any reference or give any additional details?

Cruising on Adventure OTS in January of 2024. Flying into Orlando. (8 night Eastern Caribbean) What are peoples favorite places to stay (hotels) that are good but will not break the bank and that have day-of-cruise transportation tot he cruise port. Also, if you have been on Adventure OTS, what do we need to know and what do you advise? (We typically cruise Oasis class ships...)

Can you post that spreadsheet?

As another point of view...We have eaten there both as a couple which everything said above applies and it is a pleasant evening. We have also gone there with a group of 3 couples and for that event, they just kept bring us food from every category and we even asked for seconds on several platters. It was a LOT of food but everyone got to try everything if they wanted. In true Royal tradition, just ask...most likely the answer will be sure, 'why not'...

Golden

Not to fire back up the holy-wars...and I AM asking for a friend... but... They said they "heard" that the expectations for a sport or better for formal nights has pretty much been forgotten. Me personally, usually take a blazer and were according to the night or whim. Question: Has anyone seen anything to support or deny this 'observation'?

Yes - the have Concept 2 erg machines. clean the slide rails before you start - they are rarely cleaned. Usually low overall total minutes on the units.

so we are on the Allure OTS both in September and October (4 weeks apart) We have also been married 40 years! You are telling me that we (DW and I) could go to the Love and Marriage show in September...write down the questions and then come back in October and try to get picked and clean up on the pens and schwag bags? 😇

How specifically did you achieve this???

Nice new facility...

Can you get to the Helipad these days??? We tried last time and it was 'closed to the public'...we were sad...

midnight buffet!

We booked a JS on Allure for a September 17 sailing and picked room#6644. We also booked Allure for an October 15 sail but took the GTY room option also for a JS. Got the room assignment today and it is the exact same room as our September sailing... Weird?
