"LIVE" from Allure of the Seas / May 22, 2011

[BonTXNY]

Radio, as many posted, thanks for taking the time to have us join you on your cruise. I notice you know where the ship will dock in Cozumel. Is there a link I can go to find out the same for my Mariner cruise in Jan? Also, is your balcony cabin a standard one? Thanks in advance and have the best time!

[TNT]

Always love reading your live reports. I feel as though I'm right there with you. Right now it's keeping me from going absolutely crazy with the CONSTANT drone of cicadas.

My question is about the diamond lounge. We used Blaze before dinner for drinks while on Oasis, but never used the lounge. Any time that we went by there, it was empty. We really don't know what to do there. Hate not to use it if there's something to offer. We'll be on Allure soon We worked hard to get to Diamond,but haven't ever used the lounge. Any details will be appreciated.

Have a wonderful trip.

Going by your countdown clock, you will be in Cozumel on 1/10/12 and you will dock at the International pier. This is the pier that RCI uses. You will be in port with three other ships. I use Cruisecal.com to obtain my information of what ships will be in port. It does not give you the pier information though.

Thanks for the terminal pics!

 

In 2 short weeks we will be on our Allure cruise! :eek:

 

Please keep them coming!

 

Have any specialty dinners?

Yes. This is now the slow season and very few ships sailing out of FLL for the summer.

The Diamond Lounge is used for Continental Breakfast daily (7:00-10:30AM) You can also get some great Coffee there (24 Hrs/day)

 

Hmmm. . .I'm right around the corner from the DL :) I have to long trek to the CL. . .:o

 

The evening event is held in Blaze.
