Hi: I just got back from cruising on Allure and notice an authorized but not posted charge on credit card I provided to RCL, described as RCL ALLURE NON DCC WEYBRIDGE, authorized on day of embarkation of $138.51, that I don’t recognize. I paid in cash all on board expenses on last day of cruise at guest services. I had prepaid entire cruise total including gratuity in Canadian dollars before sailing. When I called RCL, they said they never posted this amount and don’t recognize it either and to dispute it. My credit card company said it’s authorized not posted and should disappear soon as could be some kind of deposit RCL holds on cards similar to what hotels do, except the deposits hotels hold disappear within few days. Can anyone tell me if they saw similar charges and when these disappear from card statements? It’s been over 2 weeks since I sailed and charge still showing . I have sailed RCL before and never saw these types of charges so confused.

Can anyone take a guess if this social gathering with planned activities will have more people in the 21-25 age category? My 22 year old daughter is interested in attending but only if more people are ages 21-25!

Is the Mama Mia show really 2.5 hours?

Someone on our roll call alerted us the show reservations were available and I was able to reserve in the website as the APP wasn’t working at first.

I haven’t cruised since 2016, but really enjoyed the vegetarian Indian food and appreciated the special Indian vegetarian food cooked for the family in the MDR. The head chef would ask us what kind of Indian dishes we would like and my 90 year old father would start listing popular dishes served in restaurants and we actually got those dishes most of the time. We were surprised when cruisers on adjacent tables would show an interest in trying the dishes and we loved to share. It was little spicy for me but my dad loved it (probably because he labels my cooked Indian dishes as “hospital food” ! I hope I get good vegetarian food, including Indian food on the upcoming cruise on the Allure.

Sorry to ask but how does this free text messaging work once onboard? I got wifi for only device but would like to keep in touch with daughter. Is the messaging done using the RCCL APP?

What time were you able to meet the Uber driver out of the cruise terminal? Did you do self assist disembarkation? I booked Uber in advance for May 14th, 8.45am- I hope that I can make it out by then!

Thanks for the feedback. Changed Uber meet up time for 8.45am now which I hope is safer!

I booked an Uber from Galvestone to HOU for 8.20am priced at $60. There has been chat that Uber cannot provide this service due to contract issues, but if their APP accepted the booking they must be providing the service?

Thanks. I was able to book an Uber for 8.20am meet up so they must have started the service .

Hi: can anyone let me know if I use the self assist disembark service I can be out of terminal to meet Uber ride booked at 8.15am?

I have a noon flight from HOU and was wondering if I can meet an Uber ride booked at 8.20am if I use the self assist disembark service? thanks

Hi: i have obtained my set sail pass on the app but not sure how to access e-docs and luggage tags, would appreciate help with that. If e-docs are only available on the website and not the APP, please guide me. thanks.

Sorry to ask but where do you find edocs and luggage’s tag information on the Royal App or website? I already got set sail pass but don’t know how to find edocs etc for May 7/23 sailing. thanks

I would love to see the daily compass posted for the Allure for April/May, 2023. I know the App does post most things but wanted to see an actual daily compass too. Thanks.

Do you know if there were any headliner or shows other than Mama Mia ,Blue Planet, comedy shows(these shows could be be reserved in advance) during the week in the Amber theatre ? I don’t see any shows on day 3/4 for my May 7/23 sailing. Was their quest show? If you have a daily compass to post, would appreciate it.

On Allure, Mama Mia is in days 1,2,7. Day 7 is a 2.40 pm show for May 7/23 sailing

What is the balloon drop?

Allure of the seas May 7/23 popular show reservations opened up now. As noted in the thread, Mamma Mia, days 1,2,7 Ocean Aria, days 2,3,4, Aqua theatre Blue Planet in Amber theatre, days 5,6 Ice show, days 1,4,6 comedy show, days , 1,2,3,5,6. I am not sure when additional headliner shows or other shows that require reservations will be available for reservations- if anyone has an idea, please let us know.

I sail on May 7/23, so show bookings should open April 1st I believe

I noticed limited entertainment details for the May 7/23 Allure of the Seas but no shows that require advance bookings appeared yet- is this the normal process where shows/entertainment that can be booked are available around first of the month?

Just joined the roll call. I checked in on the APP when that opened up a few minutes past midnight but was only offered 11am as earliest time to arrive at terminal . Interesting that this time was still available for many hours. Were you able to secure desired arrival time?

I see an old entertainment schedule posted months ago but was wondering if anyone has a more recent entertainment/shows schedule for Allure of the seas? The one I have featured NFL games as entertainment. Having an updated schedule would help in planning and reserving shows once it opens up for May sailings. Incidentally, on the old schedule I see something called “Red carpet movie night”- is this a movie thats showing in the Amber theatre? Also, is there one type of ice show which is repeated throughout the week or is it different types of ice shows? thanks.

Sailing on the Allure on May 7/23 and wondering when the show reservations are available? I have been checking on the App once a week but so far cannot book . Should I be reserving shows on the Royal APP or website ? thanks

Hi: was there good vegetarian Indian food choices available in MDR and WJ?
