Well I looked around and didn't find anymore parade pictures to post, sorry

 

Thanks for checking. Thinking about my breakfast @ Johnny Rockets this time last Saturday. It was a great cruise.

We were at the solarium bistro. Sigh

I saw that you had posted a picture of the parade near the Cupcake Cupbroad. Do you have any others? We sat right in front and watched the parade. Wondering if we are in any shots you didn't post? My Mom was in a wheelchair, so we would be easy to identify.

 

Julesbeara, where did your mother sit for the parade? We will have a family member in a wheelchair and wondered where the best place would be to go so he could see everything. Thanks.

If you get the chance to cruise on Allure I highly recommend you sign up for the Prohibition Party. T I scanned these today and want to add them to the review. We had a great time and thought it was well worth the little added expense. And it was not hard to get costumes together.

 

 

 

This was a newspaper they handed out.

Thanks a lot. :)

I scanned the menus for what is currently being offered at 150 Central on Allure.

 

This one is for the first half of the week.

 

 

 

 

This is the menu for the latter half of the week. By far our favorite of the two menus. :)

We had 150 CP the first half of the week. We had Oliver as our waiter and it was an amazing meal!

Both meals were outstanding for us. There were just a couple of things (Gnudi and beef) that stood out more for us on the second meal. :)

I guess I never really posted whether I would go back on Allure. Would I, most definitely. It was a cruising experience uniquely different from any we had experienced before. I like the fact that that were not a lot of ports as there was so much to do on the ship and would have missed much of it on shore.

 

I would not recommend the Allure as your very first cruise as it sets the bar so high you may be disappointed with anything else. If you think you will only do one cruise, go for it. If you think you may making cruising a habit, get a few under your belt, preferably one two port intense cruises to get a feel for that style. That way you will already know there is life at sea after Allure. Hope that makes sense. :p

 

I created a book of our cruise if any of you care to browse it.

Lucky you. I wish we were heading back. But we have too many other places to see first (Panama canal, Alaska, Bermuda). Then we may get back there. :)

They like to have everyone back on board 30 minutes before sail time.

For sharing all the wonderful photos and updates ... I am now longing for our holiday to already be here.

 

13 more weeks before we leave New Zealand to fly to Canada for a week before going to Ft Lauderdale.

My husband said two thumbs up for that remark! The Allure WAS our first cruise together and he has always said that very same thing. We have had fun on other cruises and other cruise lines, but we keep coming back to Allure and Oasis.

Let me get this straight, you are flying from New Zealand to spend a week in Canada before you do B2B on Allure? My hat is off to you. :)
