Really that slow ? I know it's not Voom like Anthem etc but I really thought it was faster than most other ships ..

I use an iPad is it better or worse for speed ?

Good news on the wifi anyway. Thanks

Oh ok right.. Thanks for that ..

Hi All,

I want to upgrade my Select Beverage Package to the Ultimate Package when I get on board Navigator later this year. Somewhere I read that we should receive crown and anchor discount if we do this on the ship.

We are currently emerald members, would anyone know how much discount we will receive ?

Finally buying the wifi package for 2 devices for 7 days .. Will that be discounted too ?

What's the perks of a grand suite on say navigator ?

Hi, what other suite benefits were listed ?

Hi all, is it true Navigator does not have a Sorrento's Pizza Parlour ?

What my alternatives for snack food ?

I know their pizza is not legendary but hey it fills a gap and soaks up the beer..

Is windjammer 24 hrs ?

Shocked and stunned Ed from Belfast Cruise Ship Watch.

Thanks, would I need to pre book speciality restaurants before joining the cruise or will the concierge arrange tables for us each night ?

Also anyone ever have theirs evening meals served in the Royal Suite ? Can you order from any menu ?

Hi Again,

Two Questions related to my next cruise,

1. The deck plan shows the Viking Crown split into separate areas, one is the Cosmopolitan Club - What is this, a normal lounge open to all or a restricted area ?

2. If you are residing in the Royal Suite do you have access to both the concierge lounge and the diamond lounge or just the concierge ?

Maybe a nudist ship ?

Hi I want to avoid the heavy roaming charges on my IPhone 6 Vodafone Monthly Subscription whilst on Allure of the Seas.

Should I select airplane mode ? Or switch off roaming ? Or both ?

I have signed up for the wifi package for two IPads just don't want my phone clocking up massive bills whilst sitting in the cabin ..

Thanks ed.

Hi, I join Allure in Barcelona on Oct 18th for a seven day cruise. Previously sailed on QM2 Queen's Q5 Cabin. Love to hear your views on both. I will subscribe to this post and suggest you use periscope for one or two times. Please keep in touch . Ed Larkin

Yep it's after life boat drill.. And usually the first drink after that is when we toast a glass to the cruise ahead...

Hi everyone, we are wondering wether or not to pre-book a private taxi / limo from Barcelona to the cruise port ? Is there much of a wait to get a normal taxi from the airport or should we book online and have Pedro standing with our name on a card as we leave the terminal ?

We were on the Allure a week ago and taxis standard rate from Airport to Port and vice versa is Euros 39.00 We were 4 adults.

Did you have to wait long at the airport to get a taxi ? Ed

Hi , did you have to wait long on a taxi ?

We join on 18th October.. I think I will book a private Mercedes from airport to cruise port - it's only 48 euro - that's for all 3 of us.

BCN transfer from airport - was it expensive ? Did you book it online ?

Right ! I have read a load of well intended comments on this subject but still have not got an answer to my question.

Ok here we go...

I have purchased 3 Ultimate Drinks Packages for our next cruise, all 3 individuals enjoy a drink.. Ok so I have set the scene lol..

In the price of the package the 18% Gratuity is already included .. So I'm chilled on that one.. Almost..

Right here's the thing.. Lol.. If I order a drink priced on the menu at $14 and the bar person says thank you Mr Larkin, your looking really well tonight - is that a new aftershave your wearing - but hey that drink you just ordered has an additional charge of 10% for Spanish VAT.. and you know Mr Larkin that your Ultimate Package has a limit of $14 only.. So you will have to pay the extra .. Is this what will happen ? Will I be charged $1.40 for every time I order a full priced beverage ?

I look forward to your replies,

Ed

So if you buy an Ultimate drinks package and book your internet package both online before sailing do you avoid the tax ?

Thanks Clarea ! Email sent.

Hi All, would anyone know what entertainers are booked for this cruise ?

Ed

Vitality Cafe, any time it is open.

Thanks Clarea, Park Cafe too ?

Just the Windjammer ?

Hi, where on Allure of the Seas can I get freshly Squeezed Orange Juice ? I have an Ultimate drinks package booked.
