Here's a YouTube video of a deck 9 aft balcony to hopefully assist you in making your decision. [emoji4]

I noticed when cruising sometimes during the voyage I am able to send iMessages to contacts.

No charges were made and it was through the ships wifi.

It's always random and rare in my experiences.

Love the review! Thank you for taking the time to tell your vacation story to all of us on Cruise critic. [emoji2]

Wow didn't expect so many helpful responses! Thank you everyone!

The debit card is just for the cruise fare at this moment.

Onboard spending will be decided for them closer to sailing.

Thank you again!

Sorry if this has been asked before. I couldn't find a thread relating to this.

Has anyone paid for their cruise fare with debit, and were there any issues?

One of the passengers I am travelling with does not have a credit card and was wanting to put some money down before final payment.

Thanks in advance!

Thank you everyone for the comments and advice!

Will definitely be taking advantage of Royal's exchange rate on the OBCs.

Now the hard part of just waiting for the cruise. [emoji4]

Hello,

Looking to book a cruise, wondering which is the better currency to book in - Canadian or US?

I am Canadian and am the one reserving the cabin, boyfriend is American and is wanting to pay for the cruise at final payment.

Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Lucruise,

Just finished a B2B on the Allure. We pre-booked all the shows and I would personally say that all of the big production shows are a must at least once. I personally loved Oceanaria and Ice Games. Saw both those shows twice and were different both times as there's so much going on that we missed in the first viewing!

Hope this helps.

Following! Just like the Epic review, I feel we are in for a well written and fun adventure with you.

Hoping to sail Breakaway class soon. Will take notes on your findings. [emoji6]

In the main dinning room when you order oatmeal at breakfast they offer you warm milk.

I would assume you could just ask for warm milk on it's own. [emoji5]️

Hello,

We are booked for the February 8th allure sailing. We booked our cabana back in May '14. It was by accident as we were on the phone with customer service for a price drop and just asked about the cabanas out of curiosity.

Hope this helps!

Great photos!

Is the Falmouth, Jamaica stone tile in the port? Love that photo!

Also curious about this.

How terrible you had to look at the dock every night at dinner! ;)

I wish cruise critic had "like" buttons for posts! :p

Yes they are open. My sons also took a lesson session the first day.

Thank you so much for the info!

Are the flowriders open on Embarkation Day? Specifically for the Allure?

Thank you in advance!

I would suggest bringing your own if possible. They're pretty terrible and would equate it to sticking your head under a hand dryer.

Came here from your Oasis review. Definitely following! Sailed on the Epic in 2012 and loved her. Posh was possibly the best purchase we made on board. Thank you for the lovely review and photos!

Got a price drop as well for our B2B in February!

so did you have to call to get your fare lowered or is that automatic?

I pretend booked online, called Royal and asked about the lower price. :)

I stayed on Deck 9 forward inside and it was fine. We did the Eastern Caribbean in 2012 so we didn't spend much time in our room. The room was cozy but it didn't feel like a sardine can. If you get forward cabins on that deck you can hear a little bit of the shows playing (blue man group more than others) but it was only noticeable if it was dead silent in the room and it stopped around 10 pm.

Hope this helps!!!

sdmike's review of the epic has some good photos of Posh and has really good tips about the ship. Hope you have a great time on your cruise. :)
