We've cruised 10 times with carnival but want to try something new. Any advice,tips or secrets we should know. We plan on booking the Allure of the seas Eastern Caribbean for April or May. Thanks

Nice sailaway location on deck 14 forward, above the bridge wings. Use the port side passenger corridor and go all the way forward.

Make your show reservations! I believe you can get a copy on the rccl website to give you a heads up w/ the schedule. Have it in mind when it's time to book your shows. At first I hated the ideal of booking beforehand, cause I thought "let's just enjoy, take our time, etc" No, book the shows, you will be glad you did. You will love the Allure! Many things to do. Try and go/book all the shows. If you're interested in the cupcake decorations class, book before cruise, I didn't know about this and my kids missed it.
