Good idea to check your bags at the airport and tour the town!

It worked out super well and the free trolley makes it cheap!

Very good review! Enjoyed reading it from a young couple's perspective!

Awesome! So glad you enjoyed it!

Can't believe I forgot to add these pics!!

Thank you for the great review. Curious about this class. Read anything I can.

 

I am shocked at the second menu you posted has no vegetarian main options. And they took off the marinara pasta on everyday menu. These menus are totally different than we had in February on Freedom

 

Congratulations on your engagement.

Thank you so much!!

The menus were very different and we unfortunately did not enjoy them! No biggie though! Plenty of other food on these huge ships haha

Thank you for the great review! Where did you get the strawberry lemonade? Mixed at the bar or is it a Freestyle option I just haven’t seen?

I'm glad you enjoyed it! It is mixed at any bar... their lemonade with the strawberry concentrate.

Would you happen to have a photo of the menu of offerings at the Vitality Cafe? What sort of juices and smoothies, etc can you get with the refreshment package?

I do not have a pic of that menu... But they have the different "juicing" options. Basically any fruit and vegetable that you want. And then they have the same for smoothies.

You can get anything (to my understanding) that is non alcoholic. Smoothies (no protein), milkshakes, juices, frozen drinks. etc.

What a great review! We are sailing aboard the Allure on April 7-14, 2019 and can't wait! Your review answered many questions that we had and we thank you for that.

Thank you! So glad that it could answer your questions! Enjoy your trip!!

My fiance and I plan to use the gym frequently on Allure as well. Do you know if they do protein shakes/smoothies at the Vitality cafe? If so, can you pick a desired amount of protein powder?

They do! They use Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard Whey. I’m assuming you can just ask for more scoops if you want!

Smoothies and juices are included in the refreshment and deluxe package as well!.... just not the protein though. That’s extra 😭

Glad you had a great time. We have been on 105 cruises. Of the Oasis Class, Allure is my favorite. Just something about that ship that I love. We love all the Classes for different reasons, but I love Allure

Woah! Maybe someday we will be on your level! Allure sure is a wonderful ship!

Thanks for your review. I enjoyed reading

I'm glad you enjoyed it!

We were on the same cruise and found the food in the dinning room to be great. The only bad was the brick hard beds, they need to remove the plywood from under them. Windjammer food was a repeat every day. We ate lunch after the firsts few days in the solarium.

We have always loved (and defended the MDR), but this is the first cruise where we just were not impressed unfortunately! I did like how many options there were across the ship for snacks though! A plus for Oasis class!

We were on the same cruise and I remember seeing you a few times (Flow Rider & Quest) which is hard to believe considering there were so many passengers. My input about the cruise, pizza was good, after the first night in the MDR we gave up and ate in the Windjammer rest of the cruise. I did see a few non service dogs when I was on the jogging track a along with several Chinese folk going the wrong way. But, over all our group had a great cruise, thanks for your review.

Haha how funny is that?!

I always tend to see the same people over and over again even on such a HUGE ship!

Agreed. This was our first cruise where we were truly disappointed in the MDR.

Some people just don't get it! hahah

Glad you enjoyed the cruise and the review!

Thanks for the review! Appreciate the menu pics as we are sailing on her in 12 days.

You're welcome! Enjoy the trip!!

Thanks for the review! Looking forward to doing to itinerary in November.

Question: can you make reservations for time in the Flowrider? How does it work-stand in line and wait or set up a time?

TIA!

Glad you enjoyed it!

For standard open hours, it is just stand in line and wait. There is an advanced hour every morning, but it is still just wait in line.

You CAN book the wave for an hour of your own. That comes with instructors to help you learn more if you would like. To reserve the wave I think it is around $340?

Thank you for sharing your trip with us. We haven’t been on Allure since 2011(!), so where do you get the grilled cheese and fries. They look amazing!

I am glad you enjoyed it! Allure is still a beauty!

The grilled cheese place is in the Ft. Lauderdale area. It's called NY Grilled Cheese!

Great review! We were also on the cruise and are also from Arizona (Tucson). We ran into a few other people from Arizona over the course of the week. We enjoyed everything but agree that the long travel time is kind of a drag.

We ran into a few locals as well!

It's not so much the travel time for us, but really just the higher cost. Our flights and hotel for the night before were about 2/3 of the cost of the cruise itself!

We can just go out of Galveston for so much cheaper!

I love a couple that loves to ride. I’ve won BOB a couple of times, on two different ships. My philosophy is, if I sign the board once I don’t compete again on that ship. It gives new and different riders a chance to sign the board while I cheer them on. I always love to meet new folks in line.

 

Sounds like you two had an awesome time. Hopefully we’ll meet in line one day.

I know many people that do the same.. they don't compete because they ride so often! I still wanted to compete since I only ride once a year if I'm lucky! ... I think we will be riding at our local AZ wave now that my lady is obsessed! haha

I don't doubt we will run into eachother one day!

Thanks for all the menus ! Nice review.

Not a problem.. Thank you!

Great review! We were on the same sailing as you - I have to agree, the weather was amazing!

Glad you enjoyed it! Yes.. I think we got pretty lucky! :D

Great review! Thanks so much for sharing the menus and schedules. My husband and I are going in December and we can't wait!

You're welcome! I am glad they will go to good use! You will have an amazing time!!

Nice photos...thanks for posting.

I'm glad you enjoyed them! Cheers!
