CruisingConnie62

Thanks so much for this wonderful review. We are taking our first ever cruise on the Allure in about 2 months and I love reading these reviews. I am so excited you are posting the info for the teens. We will be bring our 15 year old son with us and I keep trying to talk up the teen activities. I am going to print them out so he can look at some of the activities. This is going to be so helpful. Can't wait for the rest of the trip!

Thanks again Gambee for all your help. In your trip report you mentioned that you took candy bars to your cabin steward. Is taking a small gift something that is "traditional" on a cruise? And I am a bit concerned about tipping. We have done the prepaid so we can have Mytime Dining. Still, I am sure we will want to give extra to certain people.

Is there a way that the cabin steward knows we have done the prepaid gratuity?

Thanks again for your wonderful report. I have read it so many times! You should see my notes:) Thanks for the restaurant suggestion also.

Thank you so much gambee for all your work on this report. I have read it 3 times and made numerous notes. We are going on our first cruise ever and it will be the Allure on June 16th.

I do have a few questions. First, do you know if there is anywhere to see what is going on each night at the Teen program (I think they call it the Living Room)? I have looked at all the Compasses and don't see listings.

Second, neither my son nor husband want to dress up for the Formal nights, so I quess we will just skip those. I read all about your suit, but how dressy do people really get? If we skip the Formal Night dinner but go to a show, do people still stay dressed up for those?

Finally, my son has been pestering us for months to take him to get Jerk Chicken in Falmouth. I think we will need to go into the real part of Falmouth to do this. Did you see any restaurants while you were out taking pictures? We are going to do the walking tour, and were thinking that our tour quide might be able to direct us to a good place.

Thanks for you help, and the wonderful report!
