Just off the Allure 6/18 thru 6/24

Just off the Allure - St Martin, San Juan & Labadee. I was traveling with my Family total of 13 people. Myself, Sister & BIL did this cruise rest of family did a B2B. It Was a wonderful cruise we were on the Allure back in 2014 so it did not take a long time to get the layout of the ship. We were all on deck 11, I was in 11566 with beds near the door. My stateroom attendant was very good no problems at all, he kept ice in my parents cabin, and as always had the cabin made up in no time.

Both my Mom and I needed assistance to get onboard and Royal has this down to perfection. Once we got to the pier one of my sisters went to find out where we should go. The is a sitting area right near the doors to wait in. So my Mom & Dad, myself and Sister & BIL waited there the rest of the family waited in the rather long line they told us the whole family could board together but we didn't want to take advantage of this service. So within about 15 minutes they came with wheelchairs and took us around the long lines into a line for wheelchairs and such. Our group of 5 were checked in and on ship within 20 minutes, once on board we went to the Champagne Bar to wait for every one else, they were all there with in 20 minutes.

So we had a drink or 2 then went to our cabins. So of the luggage was already there. I had my 2 pieces of luggage and Walker by 2:00. So I unpacked for the week - side note I used packing cubes for the first time and it was wonderful and made unpacking and repacking a breeze. Went to the Muster Drill then back to our Cabins and Balconies for Sail Away. We had the late seating for dinner, we only ate the there on the first night and the Second Formal night as a group the rest of the time we all did different places. Though one night we all ate at Chops. Service and food were great everyone enjoyed.

Will write more later. I do have the Cruise Compasses for the week. If anyone would like a copy let me know and I can scan and email to you.

So glad to hear you had a great trip! I'd love to see your Cruise Compasses if it's not too much trouble :-) We'll be on Allure with the same itinerary in August so I'd love to get a feel for what we'll have going on.

We too were on that Sailing (Me, Wife, Son and his Girlfriend). We thought everything was very good, and despite some comments on CC about Service (or lack of), I personally thought Service was Very Good, and Bar Service was timely. I tend to be pretty patient (at least while on vacation), so honestly I didn't mind waiting 5 minutes for a Drink on occasion.

We all thought the Entertainment was exceptional.

So glad to hear you had a great trip! I'd love to see your Cruise Compasses if it's not too much trouble :-) We'll be on Allure with the same itinerary in August so I'd love to get a feel for what we'll have going on.

You can email me @rjbooks57@yahoo.com and I can either scan and email to you or make copies and mail. Which ever works for you.

I as on the 5/28/17 sailing and had a great family cruise, my DW needed wheelchair assistance getting off the ship and service was outstanding.

We will be traveling with someone who is going to need assistance getting on and off Allure. She cannot walk up/down the ramps to the ship, but will be ok once she boards since she will use a walker. Does one have to reserve assistance before boarding? Thanks!

Hi, When you get to the Port there will be a seating area near the doors, go there and find a Royal Rep they will tale your name and someone will come and get you. They will take you around all the lines and get you checked in, they then take you upstairs and turn you over to a Royal Crew member who will then take you up the ramp and onto the ship. I was traveling with my family of 13 both my Mom and myself needed wheelchairs to get on. They took myself, Mom, Dad and Sister & BIL through to be checked in.

To leave the ship there will be an area to go to probably Starbucks where you will check in and they will take you off they ship. Your whole party can go together.

We will be on Allure in October for our 36th wedding anniversary. Will be my 3rd time, and hubby's second time on Allure. Cannot wait. Of the Oasis Class, so far she is my favorite.

It has been a couple of days but I will try to finish today. Being such a large group ages from 23 to 84 we all kinda of did things on are own. So this will be what I did, So having the first couple of days as Sea days was wonderful I was on this ship 3 years ago so it didn't take long to find my way around. Our cabins were in the front of the ship Deck 11 and mine was right around the corner from the elevators. My point of reference on deck 5 was front of ship is Starbucks and back of the ship is Guest Services and on deck 16 front was the Solarium and back was Windjammer.

The first 2 days just relaxed on deck and read and wandered the ship. First stop was St Marten mist of the family had excursions but since I need to use a cane or walker depending on how I'm feeling no excursions for me. Got off the ship and they had golf carts running from the ship to the main area and back. So I jumped on one and did a little shopping and then went back to the ship. Most days I ate lunch at Windjammer always had a good selection to choose from.

Went to the Comedy Show comedians were very good but these shows are for adults.

Second stop was San Juan from I believe 7:30 to 2:00 again did not get off ship but I have been there before. Most of my family did Horse Back Riding they all enjoyed it. This is the day I found my new favorite drink. At the Solarium Bar I asked for a Pina Colada and they asked if I wanted to try a Kracken Colada, it was wonderful the Kracken Rum was a dark rum and very mellow.

Third stop was Labadee we were all off the ship by 9 and had a group of loungers under some trees by 9:30. The weather was very warm but there was a wonderful breeze. Enjoyed the day did some shopping and had lunch the food was good I had fruit and some salad. Enjoyed a couple of Labadozies the y were good.

Most nights I would wander around went to Boleros to listen to music and watch people dance, On Air for Karaoke there were some really good singers. Also hit the Casino as I enjoy Roulette dif pretty good for the week started with 200.00 ended up at 350.00.

If anyone has any questions I will be glad to try and answer them.

We were on the same Cruise with you, and also went to Karaoke, but missed the Finals to be somewhere else, Do you know who Won? Some exceptional Talent we thought as well.

Thank you for the detailed answer. Sorry for the delay in thanking you. I just now had the chance to read the boards. Much Appreciated!

Thanks for the review.

Thanks for your review. We leave this Sunday 7/9 on Allure, same itinerary. I emailed you about the cruise compasses. I've had trouble finding any online for this particular itinerary. We've been on Oasis twice, but first time on Allure. Did you have reservations for the comedy show? I got started late on the planning for this cruise and when I went to do the show reservations, could only get a few of them... couldn't get the comedy show. I'm hoping we will be able to get in via the standby line. Glad you had a good trip!

I would love a copy of the compasses. We are on Allure on July 9 with the same itinerary that you were on. I emailed you. Thanks so much.

By any chance did you get these from the original poster? I emailed yesterday but she is out of town this week and not able to get them to me. I am on the same cruise as you and haven't been able to find cruise compasses anywhere online for this particular itinerary. Since you asked last week, I thought maybe you were able to get them from her. If so, could you email them to me? If so, I can give you my email. Thanks.

Jennifer.webster@jmco.com - - thank you! At least I can look at them Friday/Saturday!

Could you or anyone who has a cruise compass post which nights were formal dinner nights? We have the same itinerary on July 30th. I'm wondering if one of the formal nights is the day we spend in Labadee. Thank you!
