Answered by Navymom55 on January 21, 2023
A: You won’t be able to make show reservations until closer to sail date. I’d check the app periodically to see when they show up in the cruise planner to make reservations as early as possible. So that you don’t miss out on the day and time most conven... ient for you. I believe you can make dining reservations as soon as you book your cruise. If you have my time dining, go ahead and make those reservations in the app now. Those too fill up quickly.See More

A: Actually, the second purchase is usually half-off. I’ve purchased the drink package for $49/day when it’s been on sale.
Answered by mgoblue44 on January 19, 2023
A: Usually somewhere around $75-95/ per person per day give or take plus 18% gratuity. Every person over 21 in the stateroom will be required to purchase if 1 person decides to buy one. So you’re looking at somewhere around $1200-1300 for 2 people on a... low end for a 7 day cruise on the Allure.See More
Answered by AdamEllie on January 19, 2023
A: It all depends on your sailing, check your cruise planner for the current price for your sailing.
Answered by wooti05 on January 19, 2023
A: Personally I would only purchase excursions locally after I’ve already been to that place via ship’s excursion and felt comfortable venturing out on my own to that same place. Some of them are pretty far away. I wouldn’t want to risk not being able t... o get back to the ship on time. The ship’s excursions will ensure that you will return on time every time. Anything close to port I would definitely try to get a deal on by buying locally.See More

A: We used it on Ovation in October. Great 24 hr service, but it varies - and they have special price discounts if you watch your Cruise Compass. Tip We used was, roll all your clothes tightly, because they charge by what you can fit in the bag. We fit... a LOT in one bag 😁 Enjoy !See More

Answered by lnbrow on January 16, 2023
A: We have taken cruises the last week of February at least 6 times to the Caribbean. (It is the week my husband has off work every year.) We have needed long pants and sweatshirts one cruise most days and sweatshirts/light jackets on another one. We ha... ve found the ocean to be cooler that time of year as well. We tend to stick to the pools or short ocean swims. We swam with the dolphins once with the kids (and froze). We were also chilly when we tried to snorkel. Now we choose activities that don’t involve extended times in the water.See More

A: We were in Cozumel the first part of February 2022. in the low 80s and sunshine. Beautiful!
Answered by jrnygrl67 on January 16, 2023
A: We were in Cozumel the last week of February 2020 and it was very cold. We have been told that was very unusual.
Answered by LaRaeB on January 15, 2023
A: it's never been cold for us. It can get cool at night but generally the weather is very pleasant
Answered by dwayneb236 on January 15, 2023
A: Masks are not required. But I'd still take some.
Answered by Beachcrazy on December 23, 2022
A: They are not required for US based cruises and most people don’t wear them. I also find it hard to believe anyone was “escorted off” of the Allure due to illness. Like Texas would enforce such a thing when even the CDC doesn’t.
Answered by TheVegasSphere on December 25, 2022
A: we are just off The Allure... we wore masks especially in the elevators and other close encounters.. a 100 or so guests were escorted off with either the flu or covid... the sailing before us had a lot of sickness also... 😷

Answered by Tyson88 on November 28, 2022
A: If you have the Royal Caribbean app you can check out things on the ship. One of the items is Dining. From there, you can look at the menus to see when lobster night is. By the way, you can pay an addition fee and get lobster anytime you want.
Answered by swstaz on March 26, 2023
A: Lobster is normally served on the second formal night.
Answered by krusclark on November 29, 2022
A: Our favourite spot is a bit unusual. Deck 8 on the promenade right at the back. There are some chairs just off the running track looking over the wake from the ship.
Answered by sprigghouse on October 20, 2022
A: The running track is on deck 5. But maybe they are thinking of the sun deck which is at the front of the ship. That might be deck 8?. When I was on the ship in September, while the sun deck was open all the loungers were stacked and tied up. I... t was a shame as there are not too many ‘quiet’ spots and this would have been perfect.See More

A: Here is a link to the deck plan for Allure of the Seas https://cruiseline.com/ship/allure-of-the-seas/decks. Deck 5 has the jogging track.
Answered by CruiselineAdmin on October 24, 2022
A: We did. Long ride, but I was either asleep or looking out windows. To go underground to swim was amazing compared to seeing on tv. Chichen itza was something I Will remember and now want to see the other wonders of the world.

A: wonderful experience but very short, the ride to the ruins and cenote is long.
Answered by Eakey001 on October 13, 2022
A: It was great, though be prepared for the sulphur smell in the cenote.
Answered by TheVegasSphere on October 11, 2022
A: No, it’s kinda like an airplane, when it’s time to go; they go
Answered by TXatsea on September 18, 2022
A: they will only wait for a ship's excursion if they are delayed slightly. Anyone on their own, is on their own!! I have watched many people running down the pier to watch their ship pull away. It's simple, DON'T BE LATE!

Answered by BASSON61 on August 22, 2022
A: Exactly as it sounds for the MDR. "My Time Dining" you reserve each night individually for times between 6-8pm. You will have a different table and likely different waiter each night. Picking early 530pm or late 8pm dining... You have the same table... and wait staff each night at that time. You must be seated within 20min of your time slot or they give your table away to the My time dining pool.See More
Answered by CVCruiser on August 22, 2022
A: If you choose to have a consistent dining time you will select usually either 5:30 p.m. or 8:00 p.m. and you will go to dinner each night at that same time and have the same table and same wait staff.My Time dining is usually available from 6:45 p.m... . to 9:00 p.m. You can go to dinner whenever you'd like during that time frame but as others have stated you may have to wait based on how many other people are trying to go to dinner at that time.See More

A: I can't answer your question, but I will say that RCL just modified the requirement for our upcoming cruise from 2 days to 3 days. By October you possibly won't even need the test.
