bionicman97 Posted May 13, 2010 #2 Share Posted May 13, 2010 That was a very interesting article. Nice to see that they have added another free food venue and the 3D Movies will be neat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ravenone Posted May 13, 2010 #3 Share Posted May 13, 2010 But will it still have the merry-go-round on the boardwalk? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puffinater Posted May 13, 2010 #4 Share Posted May 13, 2010 Sounds like a couple good ideas. Rita's Cantina looks like a place we will be stopping by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tracyanns Posted May 13, 2010 #5 Share Posted May 13, 2010 I am much more excited about the Guess store than Coach... They should make these changes to the Oasis...I like the idea of the sausage place much better than the donuts... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
April-in-NC Posted May 13, 2010 #6 Share Posted May 13, 2010 I wonder if the iPod dock will work with the iPhone... I know a lot of those things don't work with both items which always puzzles me, it is the same port, isn't it?:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melissa@cruisecritic Posted May 13, 2010 #7 Share Posted May 13, 2010 You know, I stayed at a hotel recently with an iPod dock. When I first put my iPhone in it said "not compatible" ... but the MP3s played just fine, and it charged the battery! So I'd bet it'll probably work with the iPhone (and will let you know if we can find out for certain). I wonder if the iPod dock will work with the iPhone...

Booking It Posted May 13, 2010 #8 Share Posted May 13, 2010 Very interesting article. Thanks for posting. Before, I really didn't care which ship we sailed on... I just wanted to be on ANY Oasis class ship. But these proposed changes kind of seal the deal for me. DH and I hate seafood and LOVE Mexican food (and the price is much better!), and I love the idea of a free hotdog stand. That makes the most sense anyway on a boardwalk. It's not as if any of the changes are incredibly dramatic, but it does help in choosing which ship we'd prefer to sail on just for the fact that the Allure would have more of what we want.

alexw Posted May 13, 2010 #9 Share Posted May 13, 2010 This appears to be minor changes in my opinion. There has to be much more in store for the future and I cant wait to read about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mydnite Posted May 13, 2010 #10 Share Posted May 13, 2010 3D movies will be great and so are the hot dogs, the music at Ritas Cantina is also good, I hope there is somewhere else we can get the coconut shrimp though. Overall, sounds good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

azpilot Posted May 13, 2010 #12 Share Posted May 13, 2010 Looks like our 2012 trip on the Allure of the Seas will be even better with the changes.. can't wait! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mycko75 Posted May 13, 2010 #13 Share Posted May 13, 2010 I like the idea of the sausage place much better than the donuts... Am I the only one who found this extremely funny??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elizanessie Posted May 13, 2010 #14 Share Posted May 13, 2010 Do they charge for the donuts? No they are free...and rather nice I thought...not too sweet after breakfast...or just before lunch...or in the afternoon...to tide me over till dinner :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like a theme cruise in the making...;) :rolleyes: Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyler80 Posted May 13, 2010 #16 Share Posted May 13, 2010 This is SO exciting! I must sail on both Oasis and Allure now. And Liberty is getting a broadway show now too!? So cool! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruising89143 Posted May 13, 2010 #18 Share Posted May 13, 2010 I like the changes. Especially the Mexican dining spot replacing the seafood shack. The Seafood Shack was okay but not great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashland Posted May 13, 2010 #19 Share Posted May 13, 2010 No they are free...and rather nice I thought...not too sweet after breakfast...or just before lunch...or in the afternoon...to tide me over till dinner :D Fresh made or brought onboard similar to the donuts on other RCI ships...which are not so good....IM "donut lover" HO...

Lorey2007 Posted May 13, 2010 #20 Share Posted May 13, 2010 Cruised on Oasis in February and loved her but thought I probably wouldn't cruise on Allure any time soon. This article with the new tweaks have probably changed my mind. I'll have to start looking at the itinerary now.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freo Posted May 13, 2010 #21 Share Posted May 13, 2010 I cruise for the donuts. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silvery Seas Cruiser Posted May 14, 2010 #22 Share Posted May 14, 2010 I can't wait to try out the Dog House. I know Hubby will be a big fan of this. The Rita's Cantina sounds like a fun place too. The Guess boutique is only somewhat innovative. RCI has been selling Guess products in its shops for a while now. I guess now the selection will be bigger. These changes on allure are very exciting. I loved Oasis, but Allure is shaping up to be even better. WOW! How about 3-D movies at sea! Is RCI the very first to offer that amenity. That is so cool. I hope there is still a carrousel. I really enjoyed being a kid again on that. Can't wiat to see the new shows. Allure is looking like more and more fun all the time. ANybody know for sure? Are we going to Falmouth or aren't we?

TrishOB Posted May 14, 2010 #23 Share Posted May 14, 2010 I wonder if the iPod dock will work with the iPhone... I know a lot of those things don't work with both items which always puzzles me, it is the same port, isn't it?:confused: I'm wondering if the iPod dock will allow a guest's iPod to be played through speakers in the stateroom, or if it is just for charging purposes only. Also wondering if they will rename Park Café if they're moving it up to Boardwalk. Things that make you go "Hmmm..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chef_christoph Posted May 14, 2010 #24 Share Posted May 14, 2010 I did enjoy the boardwalk atmosphere while on Oasis in December 2009, but I am anxious to experience the revised version on Allure. Rita's Cantina sounds more to my taste than the Seafood shack, and I love a hot dog now and again, so I look forward to trying the new offerings.

negc Posted May 14, 2010 #25 Share Posted May 14, 2010 Donut lovers can relax. The donut shop is only being moved,not replaced and Park Cafe isn't moving to Boardwalk, it was referenced only to indicate that Boardwalk needed more free food venues that would serve a purpose similar to what Park Cafe offers in Central Park.
