There’s a shower inside the tub and there’s room to bend over if you drop the soap. Unless you can’t step over the side to get in, I can’t see any disadvantage and only pluses. 

Much easier to slip & fall.

So do they serve beer and wine at lunch in Coastal Kitchen?

Yes but It's not complementary.

I’d read the terms of the insurance to make sure. My particular cancel for any reason policy specifically stated that anything I was insuring had to be either paid in full or at least have a deposit made within 14 days of purchasing the insurance. If you make a deposit, you include the full dollar amount for that item in the insurance policy, even though you only paid a deposit. Anything booked outside of that 14 day timeframe cannot be included in the insurance. It was very specific about that. 

Just curious, what insurance? what state?

Are the times listed on this website in local time? This shows Allure arriving at 8 AM, which is the same time as our itinerary says. 

Yes

Will be on Allure in a little over a week and I’m curious about times as this is my first cruise involving a time zone switch. The itinerary says we’ll arrive in port at 8 AM. I have an excursion booked with a 3rd party and they asked us to arrive at 9 AM. Does Allure switch to AST when we dock in St Maarten, or will it stay on EST? If it stays on EST, is the advertised 8 AM arrival time EST or AST? I’m worried that the 8 AM arrival time is actually 9 AM AST, in which case I’ll need to touch base with the tour operator and make sure it’s ok if we don’t get there until close to 10 local time. Anyone who’s been on Allure lately and can comment how they handled time changes would be appreciated!

Ships time may or may not change to local time. You will not know until you get onboard.

If that is the case, I would say that makes up for the Casino/ Alcohol.

 

The Cathy family are really nice people who do care for their employees... sure I do not agree with some of their stances, but they generally are very nice.  Then again, I am from Atlanta, and there are 3 things that we will defend until the end... Chick-Fil-A, Coke, and Waffle House.

Yes without Coke how would we drink our rum.

Just a way to recover revenue if someone cancels last minute. Otherwise they might have to give a free upgrade.

Usually not always available at 49 days out.

Accurate info ie: Oasis + Symphony meeting up in Coco Cay----staff not allowed off either ship  due to 2 large ships in Coco Cay at one time. Regular cruise cycle re-starts for Oasis on Sunday 2-9 out of Miami. Quite the different charters within a few weeks of each other ie: "Atlantis" charter vs Chick Fila/no alcohol/dress code, etc. 

BTW, charter estimate for Oasis class $7 Mil to $11 Mil is accurate pending time of year charter takes place ie: high season vs lower season, details of renters needs, itinerary, etc. RCCL actually has a website section dedicated to Charters with info enclosed if you are interested. 

According to a poster on the RC blog ""Just got off the Oasis today and per the crew Chick Fil A chartered it for $20M

I think it’s a four day cruise, but it’s taking the ship out of regular service for a week, given the transit to PE and then back to Miami.

similar post everyone wanting to know the specific issue so they could help.  IT IS NONE OF THEIR BUSINESS.

Don't post on a public forum then.

Get “Cancel Anytime, Cancel Any Reason” if possible.

READ about what you’re purchasing carefully.

Why?

There's no reason for us to know what the issue is. We can't resolve it.

How do you know this, if you don't know what the issue is?

The VCL is still available as a place to relax and enjoy drinks with "like-minded frequent cruisers". You asked "What is RCI thinking?" Consistency would be my guess. And it's being done by making the 2 ships w/o a dedicated lounge.....Majesty and Empress.....have the same offerings. 

Only their benefit chart says 

6 The Exclusive Nightly Diamond Event is a benefit for only Diamond, Diamond Plus and Pinnacle Club members and cannot be extended to include friends and family. The event will take place approximately between the hours of 5:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m.

Maybe they should have added the event to Empress in stead of taking it away from Majesty.

For years RCCL docked at Heavensight now with the move to Crown Point I was wondering if there is a way to get back to the old dock area such as a water taxi or do you have to take a cab?
