Does anyone have photos of the beds in their current location?

Does anyone know if they have moved the day beds to South Beach since ShelleyUM's visit?  An RCI rep sent me this map and said the beds will be in the red circled area when we are there 12/14. 

Did you happen to notice any day beds on South Beach at Coco Cay or were they only on Chill Island?

A recent Allure of the Seas review said it took 30-40 minutes to find a taxi to Redhook. Is this normal? I have contacted a few taxi companies and a private taxi is very expensive. 

A link would be helpful.  I don't see anything on google.

Do they serve seasonal lattes such as peppermint mocha on Allure?

I emailed RCI for some reassurance and they responded with this map and wrote, "Please find attached the Perfect Day CocoCay map, where I have highlighted the area where beach beds are located (red) and the area currently under construction (green).
Please be assured we do our very best to keep guests comfortable and apart from the ongoing construction and we will always try to ensure our guests have a pleasant experience"

Seems like it would be helpful to know what someone paid for their initial cabin as that seems to be factored into bids and acceptance/rejection. 

They also offered refunds for the 12/8 sailing.

Can you order using the app?

This is the most recent map I can find.  It only shows day beds in one area which is odd because our cruise planner has Chill Island and South Beach days beds available. 

I noticed today our cabana reservation was no longer on our cruise planner. I called and they confirmed it was cancelled and a refund would be issued. Luckily South Beach day beds were still available so we booked that. They assured me the day beds would not be cancelled. We'll see...

Just received the following email regarding our South Beach Cabana reservation for 12/8 sailing.  I called to see if the South Beach day beds would be available as we were hoping to stay in that area. Rep told me she did not see any emails sent and our cabana reservation was not cancelled.  My CC has not been refunded yet and reservation still shows in my calendar.  Has anyone else received emails or tried calling?

Dear Guest,

We’ve been busy working on re-imagining our South Beach area and while we expected to have it ready, along with Coco Beach Club, for your sailing, we unfortunately encountered a setback due to the damage left behind by Hurricane Dorian. Regrettably, this means we have to cancel your South Beach Cabana reservation. We’ve gone ahead and issued a full refund of the cabana to your original form of payment, which you should see in the next 3 to 5 business days.

You can continue to plan your day on our private destination at our Cruise Planner. And, please know, aside from the cabanas in Chill Island, Thrill Water Park, and Oasis Lagoon, we have many complimentary beach chairs and umbrellas located in Chill Island for you to enjoy.

We’re terribly sorry for any disappointment this may cause, nonetheless we are more than confident you will enjoy your visit to Perfect Day at CocoCay!

Thank you for your understanding. To learn more about Perfect Day at CocoCay, you can visit our website here. 

Sincerely,

Royal Caribbean International

I have read of people getting "stuck" so thank you for the reminder!  There have been a couple recent Allure reviews on CC stating deck 7's hallway or restrooms smelling like mildew.  Have you experienced this at all?

If you don't mind me asking, what deck are you on?  We will be in JS 7236 in December.  

Can you please send the map to andrewmarcotte8@gmail.com when you have more time?  Thank you so much for the work!

I find the specialty restaurants to be a class act. Booked others later via t.v. control system in-room.

 

Was there a lot of availability when booking via TV in-room? What times did you get?  Thank you!

An RCI rep told me that if our South Beach cabana was not cancelled, it is likely South Beach will be complete by our sailing (12/8 on Allure) and the email was to inform us changes are being made to that area.  That could be total bogus but I'm hopeful. 

We will be there December 14th and received the same email.  We have a South Beach Cabana booked.  I am waiting to hear back from RCI if the cabanas will be located elsewhere.

MDR even if not on the day’s menu.  

Does MDR have a breakfast buffet with them?  Or could I get one to go eat on our balcony? 

Where can you get eggs benedict on Allure?  We are in a JS so CK is not an option.

Is this true if you are upgrading?  I have an OV Balcony booked w/ $250 OBC but am looking to upgrade to JS.  There is no OBC offered w/ the JS currently

My fiance and I plan to use the gym frequently on Allure as well. Do you know if they do protein shakes/smoothies at the Vitality cafe? If so, can you pick a desired amount of protein powder?
