Currently my booking is liked with 5 other bookings that are all traveling together. If one of us made reservations for anything (i.e. MDR, Excursions, activities, entrainment, etc.), will everyone who is linked together get the same reservation or will each booking has to individually make their own reservations?

Appreciate it if someone could post a link to the Port Web Cam.

Thanks. Can you make it there in 15 minutes?

On these Boards I have been hearing so much about these Roast Beef Sandwiches from Park Café (I think), that I have to have one or 2.

On Embark Day, I was thinking about going straight to Park Café for lunch and getting one of those sandwiches. Since this sandwich seems to have a cult following, I am picturing mobs of people standing in line at Park Café waiting to bow down in front of this Roast Beef Sandwiches' alter. My question; is going the first thing for lunch on Embark Day a good idea or should I wait a while since I am in no real hurry to join this cult just yet ;) ?

Will be doing a tour of St. Thomas and upgraded to include so beach time and one of these beaches: Magens Bay, Coki Point Beach or Sapphire Beach.

If you can only do one, which one do you recommend? Pros & Cons.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks

Where do you come/board onto the ship at? Deck 5 near the Promenade?

Is this the map your looking for?

 

In general, how long would this take if I did my own walking tour?

If you really wanted to make your DW happy, you would have booked a Suite.

Maybe then you would get another 50 years.

Really Snit? I couldn't say it any better FloatMe.

:mad: trying to delete same message that posted twice...sorry I can't figure it out.

We prefer traditional late. It is often wait listed. I've never not been able to get it. Sometimes an email to rci dining, sometimes dealing with the MDR Manager onboard, and just last week our TA made the change for us once I noticed availability.

How did you notice availability?

I just made the switch from Broadway to OV also. My reason was for the good of my marriage. I know that it always takes my DW a loooong time to get ready. I know if I had to wait on her in a small cabin with a non-private , possibly noisy and without much to look at (during none shows), I would have to either leave and hopefully we meet up someplace soon or I simply become frustrated, stressed out and just not a happy cruiser.

Now that I made the switch; while DW is getting ready, I can sit and relax on the balcony, look over the beautiful ocean, listen to the sounds of the water, feel the warm sun on my toes, all the while sipping on a cool drink.

My marriage will be safe for another 25 years (this is our 25 year adversary cruise)!!! :):):)

I thought that this change was already made but when I talked to the TA, they said that Traditional was already booked and to try back in a few months before the cruise (sailing 3/26/2017).

It is hard for me to believe that they are already booked this far out. Could it be that RCI Traditional Dinning is not really booked all up but that this TA's only has an allotted amount of Traditional bookings and they are all out?

Whatever the reason, my questions are:

Can I book it directly with RCI myself (now over the phone)?

If not, can Traditional Dinning be booked through the Cruise Planner when it comes open?

or I'm I just stuck with TA in this matter?

Our coordinator (FIL) just switched our group 's dining option to Traditional and linked all of our bookings together. I just checked and everyone is linked with "My Time Dinning-No Waitlist" as the description. Does this mean that the change is in process, change was not made, or we are on a 'waitlist' until something becomes available. What does this mean?

Since I am with a big group, we changed from MTD to the Traditional Dinning for the MDR. How does this work for lunch? Are RSVP's still needed for lunch?

We have a group of 12 on Allure and we are doing 2 tables of 6....and can just switch around if we want. We also have early seating not MTD

How did you reserve for all 12 so they can be together? Did 1 person coordinate everything or each person make a reservation and RCI linked all the booking numbers so they can be together?

Looking at a group of 12. How is the best way to make reservations for 12 so that we can be together? I think I heard that the largest tables are for 10. Therefore 2 tables close to each other will be fine. How can I make this happen? Since we are 'My Time Dinning' does each of us have to make reservations on our own or should 1 person make it for the entire group? Would it be easier to shift from to Traditional Dinning?

50!!!!!! :)

I have to tell the world because I am smiling ear to ear.

For weeks now, I have been calling almost everyday to upgrade from a Boardwalk Balcony to an OV Balcony. The problem was that I had to be in the same area because my in-laws (who made the reservations for us), do not want to change & my dear wife would kill me if we were not near them.

Finally today, I was able to change to the cabin directly across the hall from them. The added bonus; since it happen today, thanks to the 'sale,' the price was the lowest it has been since I started this odyssey to change rooms (only $200 more for 2 people for a 7 day cruise or a mere $14.30 pp a day)!!!

My 2 words of advice if you are looking for a specific cabin or change: Persistence & Patience and if you want a great price...timing!!!

Will be at sea during a Sunday. Is there a church/worship service? If so, where and who leads it?

Will be in the following ports in April 2017; Nassau, St. Martin/St. Maartin, St. Thomas/St. John. I would like to get off the ship and run on some land. To my fellow runners:

How is running in these port (i.e. traffic, road conditions, hills, safety)?

Any routes or things that would be good to run?

Must see things that I should include in any run?

How is the weather in April?

Which is the best port to run in (if any)?

Thanks

After reading some posts on the 1st time cruisers board, I am a little confused and need some clarification.

When booking through a TA, can you still make changes (example: MDR from 'my time' to a select time) and reservations for shows and such through RC (Cruiser Planner) or does everything have to go through the TA?

I am in a suit and tie everyday and when I go on vacation, I really do not want to be in one again (let alone having to pack it). My question; if I choose not to dress up for the formal nights, is it best to just go to the other dinning options or will they be 'formal' also?

Will be in St Thomas in 2017 (April). Would like to get off the ship and run on some land. To my fellow runners:

How is running in there (i.e. traffic, road conditions, hills, safety)?
