10,000+ Club

10,000+ Club (5/15)

  1. The decision not to do fixed Early or Late has already been made (by others). 😉 I'll be happy if we can get 75% of the group together for one meal in MDR.
  2. Just to put that in context with regard to the situation that I'm trying to make sure I'm prepared to deal with... We are a group of 28. 🙈
  3. Thank you! That works fine for me. And I'm abashed that I didn't think to try that myself. I was under the impression that reservations was an app-only feature.
  4. I did discover that I had to select the CORRECT Main Dining Room (to get to the grey'ed out button, at least). For the other dining rooms, there is no button at all.
  5. After a 30+ year career in software, that was my first inclination, as well. 👍 Unfortunately, the button is still grey'ed out. 😞 Thanks though!
  6. We both have My Time dining. I'll update the original post with that info. Thanks!
  7. I did a search for "Reserve Now" AND "Main Dining" and it came up with 0 results. 😞 Maybe I'm not searching for the right words? I'm in the app and I see the Reserve Now button, but it is grey'ed out and I'm told to call a telephone number, while my friend (also on the same cruise, and both of us have My Time dining) is able to click the button and go on from there. What could account for the difference?
  8. We're booked on a 3-night Bahamas & Perfect Day cruise (not leaving the ship at Nassau, and without much intention of leaving the ship at Coco Cay). We don't drink alcohol, so we're considering the non-alcoholic beverage package, which I believe will cost around $225. Please help me understand some specific things (below) about the package so we can better understand whether it would be worthwhile to us. I'm pretty sure it won't be worth it if we drag a flat of bottled water aboard, but that's too much of a pita as far as we're concerned, so we're factoring in a strong likelihood that we're going to end up *wanting* bottled water - roughly 16 bottles or so over the course of the three days. So that's the first question I need answered to understand whether the package is worthwhile: On Allure of the Seas, where would we get bottled water aboard ship? Would it be chilled? and How readily is it available at these places (i.e., limited hours, other restrictions that might get in the way of our quickly getting a bottle of water on our beverage package)? Given that we're going to need some of these to be available to us in our cabin overnight, is there a problem getting a few at a time to bring back to the cabin? For comparison's sake, am I correct that 16 bottles of water aboard ship comes to about $80 (i.e., leaving about $145 to be justified by other beverages)? The package descriptions make a point about specialty coffees and teas (but makes clear that Starbucks isn't included). I foresee enjoying a latte with breakfast and a decaf cappuccino in the dining room after dinner. Which breakfast locations would be likely to find lattes available? Does the dining room serve *decaf* espresso drinks? Are there other spots around the ship that provides specialty coffees and teas covered by the package? I figure if this works out, that's about $40 of specialty coffee that would be covered (i.e., leaving about $105 to be justified by other beverages). Lunch will likely mean a cola or two for me, so that's another $25. I don't have questions about that, though it wouldn't hurt to have confirmed my understanding that there's a bar in the Windjammer where I can get the soda (or, if I brought my cup, I can use the machine). Balance $80. So, assuming my assumptions above were correct, whether the package is worthwhile hinges on whether we'll drink at least 8 mocktails (about $80 including gratuity - yes?), which I believe is the only other component of the package. One other question about that: Do folks have a problem ordering non-alcoholic cocktails? Are "mistakes" common (i.e., bringing and charging for an alcoholic beverage not included on the package)? One other note: I realize that we can probably achieve the water portion of our need with the water package ($31 plus several extra, so about $50). Thank you for the assistance!
