Hi guys, and welcome to the thread! This should be a GREAT first experience for those of us who have not been on Allure OTS.

Hi all,

 

Quick question for anyone out there who has been on Royal previously.  Are there specialty dining options that you think are must dos?  We are debating the packages but after seeing all the options ship-wide it seems like it may be a waste.  Our first couple of cruises years ago we only ate in main dining.  We have since done many different specialties on different ships.  Just a little confused since this line is all new for us!

 

Thanks for any input!

We’ve just returned from a T/A on Brilliance and we have become somewhat disappointed in the specialty dining options. We remember them all to have better service, better quality and in general “more worth the extra money” on past cruises. A common comment from the 2,000 pax was that staffing appeared to be an issue. So...I don’t believe that we will buy dining packages for this T/A. They will more than likely offer some DEALS while on board, as they are NEVER FULL anyhow. We are fortunate enough to have access to the suite lounge and Coastal Kitchen, so that should give us a step up in quality and service. 🤞.

We are not FB people either.  Thanks for the info as well about specialty dining.  We decided to just wait and play it by ear since this is our first Royal cruise.  This is our first cruise in a long time taking just a balcony room.  We had to make a few sacrifices with this 42 day trip.  🙂

Hi, my name is Jeremy. I just signed up for this cruise, but glad to see there will be some gay guys on it. Did a TP, last year which was fun, my first time doing a TA. Also, largest ship I will have been on. Great to meet you all

[twoontheisle]

Hi Jeremy, welcome to the thread! Yes, there are quite a few of us on this sailing, although this thread isn’t very active. No doubt there will be a “NOTE CARD” posted on a board near guest services indicating a daily happy hour for us somewhere. Looking forward to all of the great days at sea, and enjoying the ship with everyone. 

[chip1969]

Hi guys!

 

Not sure if anyone will see this before we leave, but we will be in cabin 9329 once on board.  We have had occasions where there were conflicts with the "Note Card" times and missed meeting people early on in the cruise.  We leave tomorrow for Atlanta and are flying down to Ft Lauderdale Thursday.

 

See you all soon!

Hi Richard and Danny. Safe travels. We will notify you in your stateroom “just in case” you don’t receive the card. It has happened to us as well. Would be great to meet up for a cocktail with you guys, okay? We’ll check the “notice board” near guest services for the LGBT happy hour location. Cheers!

Definitely would like to meet you guys!  We found on the app that the LGBT meeting is at 7:45 every evening in the Champagne bar.  We set up my time dining for 6:30 every evening so not sure is we can make through dinner in one hour to make the meeting. We are going to try tomorrow evening and see what happens . Glad you have a way to contact if we miss each other. See you tomorrow!  We are super excited!!

Hey guys! We changed staterooms to 1746...so just in case we don’t get the notice, please let us know. Our dining time is 7:45, so we may have to alter it a few nights to check out the champagne bar scene.

Awesome room change!! We looked at upgrading but with a 42 day trip and so many other things we pulled back for this cruise.  See you on board!

Welcome Richie! See you on board hopefully. Just a few more hours of land under our feet. Imagine that embarking will be more “involved” due to the most recent news about the virus. 

[chip1969]

Hey Richie! That is what my sister and her kids call me. We have been in Wilton Manors since Thursday visiting friends from when we lived down here in Hollywood. We should literally be able to see your your balcony from ours. :-). See you on board!

[Richie13]

thank you, both couples

where in Wilton are you?

I am on NE 18th Ave , south of 26th St.
