I just received mine yesterday for our cruise in March and they expire 12/2022

We're sailing on the Harmony in March for the first time and some of these tips were great! Good to know I can grab a drink at the Wonderland or Sabor bar without needing a reservation.

We were on the same beach as you in Labadee! You actually caught us in a few of your shots. :-) Watching the Oceanaria performers interact with the guests was one of the many highlights of our trip!

We just got off the Allure on Sunday and I wish we would've booked it earlier in our trip so we could've seen it twice. It was amazing!

We just got off of the Allure, and normally our dinner service would take between 90-120 minutes, however, there were two nights when we needed to make our show reservations, and they happily sped up the service for us. Never had one problem. The waitstaff are incredibly nice and accommodating.

We were on the same cruise! Watching that first video makes me miss it already. Can't wait to see the rest!

Keep that ship in tip top shape for us since we'll be boarding it on Sunday!!!

I scanned all the Compasses. The PDF may be found at https://drive.google.com/file/d/1P_V9qcx5Y6HVHBsk8aIgFuoBeSDsPv_6/view?usp=sharing.

 

I will write a review, hopefully later today. It was one of the best vacations I've ever had, and that's saying a lot!

Thank you for this! You've got me super excited for this trip and can't wait to hear your thoughts. :D

I’m currently on Allure’s eastern itinerary. I will scan all the compass newsletters and post them on Monday. Hopefully that will help!

Thank so much! I'm also going to be sailing on the Allure on the 19th, and that would be so helpful!

Welcome back! We are exactly 20 days away from our 1st cruise on the Allure! So excited! Can't think of any questions, but from the smiley you added, I'm thinking you had a great time. :-)

I have thick, stick straight, fine hair, so I need to put in a fair amount of effort as well. I usually allow my hair to air dry while I put on my make up, which helps, even if it's only for a few minutes. Then I use my own hair dryer because the ones they provide on ships and hotels never have enough power to them.

If you aren't getting your hair wet at the pool/beach, have you ever thought of occasionally using dry shampoo to prep your hair for easy styling and volume? Sometimes that's a life saver for me when I don't want to spend a lot of time on my hair, but still want it to look nice.

Great! And don't forget to walk over to Maho Beach to experience the airplanes landing just feet above your head. That is one experience any 9-year old (and her mom) will remember for a long time.

I'm sure it is! :D Thanks again!

Thank you so much for both of your responses. I looked up Mullet Bay and read about the ease of grabbing a bus to take us there, so that sounds like a really nice way to spend our day. We can even grab a bite to eat at the grill shack on the beach!

We will be visiting St. Maarten while cruising on the Allure in August, and my plan was to not book an excursion, but just tour on our own. I was thinking of just sticking close to the cruise ship, maybe hanging on the beach at Great Bay and then doing some shopping around the area of Old Street. Should safety be a concern since it will only be myself and my 9 year old daughter?

Just found this thread! We'll be in 9641 in August and happy to know that I made the right decision with booking one of these staterooms!

After doing a little research, I think I'm going to just explore the town a bit with my daughter, and then maybe have some fun checking out the tide pools at the beach right there.

I'm interested as well! We're thinking of sailing on the Allure in August, and this is the one port that I'm unsure on what to do with my 8 year old daughter. I've only been here once before, which was about 10 years ago, and we explored the fort and a little bit of the town, but that was about it.
