I'd like to take a victory lap over everyone that said Colbert should be replaced a year ago.

Yeah. You never know if you're going to be stuck an extra few days out at sea or if your flights will be severely delayed on the way home. Yeah, ships have laundry, but nobody wants to do that on a ship.

You've got that wrong.

Carnival is the Walmart of the Seas.
Royal Caribbean is the Target of the Seas.

It always impresses me how knowledgeable you are about all this stuff.

Seriously! A single shop for clothes and toiletries is all you need. On the Oasis class, having so many shops for jewelry, perfume, sunglasses, etc., is an incredible waste of space.

Casinos on ships are also not regulated, so the chances of winning are far less.

Premium seats/queue cutting is already available for Suite passengers. It probably is the only actually enticing perk of a Suite guest. But if you could buy one of those reserved seats for the shows without Suite pricing, I'd consider it. Now I show up way ahead to grab a seat.

That's like saying you look forward to going through the TSA line.

This! Also, being able to send messages directly to your steward about a request or knowing what time they're going to clean the room, would be nice. Chat is really such a necessity for both the passengers and the crew.

The good things about phones is that they are becoming more and more waterproof. So bringing them into the pool isn't as much of a hassle. You don't have to worry about them getting stolen if they're on you.

The problem with laptops is that they are air cooled. And salt air is not good for internal laptop parts. But being up high on the pool deck probably won't be as much of an issue as it being on the balcony in the direct wet wind. And after leaving my laptop on the balcony for 7 days, I learned this the hard way. I still bring my laptop with me on ships, but for inside use only. Tablet or phone for outdoor use.

Thank you! Some people on this site just can't be objective on reality.

"i know better"

lol at name! It was cloudy as heck on the cruise and it was his job to avoid the clouds. Didn't know he wasn't on until after Anthem. We'll see how he handles this upcoming disaster.

My comments are awesome. You're just jelly.

I hope everyone onboard has a good cruise! TBH, I've been very disappointed in RCCL's meteorologist. From Anthem's disaster weather to Oasis' eclipse clouds, the guy just can't steer ships in the right direction.

How does it compare to the one on Oasis? https://www.royalcaribbeanb...

And do certain stateroom classes get free access?

Do you strip for the stuff or do you wear a bathing suit? Not sure if you're alone or what.

I'd really like to see more videos from the ships. Everything I've seen has been supplied by guests or travel agents. The line can offer so much more in their own content.

hahaha! Always nice to see a troll. :P

I'm very critical of RCCL, as shills on this site have been offended by, but to say they're shit is rather ridiculous when you compare them to the other cruise lines. For my taste, my loyalties sway back and forth between RCCL and Norwegian, based on offerings. Both lines have their faults that I believe people should fight against. NCL has their poorly designed staterooms and RCCL's nickel & diming has been pretty bad for the price & benefits. While Carnival and Disney have improved dramatically over the years, their new ship innovations don't hold a candle to RCCL & NCL.

Re: Royal Caribbean schedules dry dock for Allure of the Seas to fix propulsion problem

quintushalls — Sun, 20 Aug 2017 13:53:02 -0000

If you want to "unplug", then Allure isn't the best ship to do it. One of the key benefits of the ship is its unlimited internet offer and high speed wifi.

I can go further into the benefits of a deep cleaning on a ship versus a few hours between cabins and into the different systems for detecting someone overboard if you want me to. But in reality, I see nothing wrong with asking the cruise line to go beyond what is expected and not settle for what sounds like shilling propaganda. It's not a matter of a glass being half full or half empty. It's the matter that there is half a glass.

Re: Royal Caribbean schedules dry dock for Allure of the Seas to fix propulsion problem

quintushalls — Sat, 19 Aug 2017 14:37:56 -0000

A major deep cleaning of staterooms at least once a year would be nice. The FOE gave Allure of the Seas a C-rating on Air Pollution. Plug-in
power cables into port is an absolute must. I bet the scrubbers could
use a cleaning. They can add better tools for tracking people that jump
off the ship.

They could enclose the Solarium like on Anthem. They can
upgrade the TVs in the staterooms to 4K and add USB 3.1 slots for future proofing. They can add in a Bionic Bar or maybe
something new to differentiate it from Oasis. They can do a shitload of
stuff!

Re: Staterooms: What are the difference between Royal Caribbean's D1 - D8 balcony rooms?

quintushalls — Thu, 03 Aug 2017 15:12:58 -0000

It depends where it is, like close to an elevator or between loud floors.

Re: Does the bathroom in room 6648 on Explorer of the Seas have a bath?

quintushalls — Thu, 03 Aug 2017 15:03:54 -0000

If you get a room with a large balcony, you can always bring an inflatable tub and put it out there.
