What an amazing show!! It was comedy with trapeze artists, acrobatic balancing and diving! I have been on 10 cruises, but I have never seen anything like that at sea! It is definitely a show not to miss! No flash photography allowed, but of course many do not follow rules.

 

That's all for tonight, We are off to bed...

 

Tomorrow.... At Sea

That is all of us on the not so secret deck!! Thanks!!

 

 

Our Compass says Allan Brooks is the CD... I don't know how long they are on the ship...

 

Allan Brooks is the BEST cruise director! I've had him twice and both times they were the best cruises. Does he still do the breakfast thing in the pink robe?

[NVR777]

Oh my goodness! I can't believe I slept through my wake up call and alarm. With all the time changes and lack of sleep this past week jetlag caught up with me at the worst possible time! :(

 

Missed the CC Meet and Greet and the Cabin Crawl! So sorry everyone. I think the ship lulled me into a deep slumber last night! :eek:

 

You are doing an amazing job with the review!

I've seen both of them on the Discovery Channel Specials on Allure and Oasis, neither in person, but it looks like you can't go wrong with either of them.

Thanks for sharing for sharing your cruise.

Our Children wanted to go to kids club for the afternoon and stay for dinner, so we didn't dress formal as we had originally planned. DH and I went to the casino, explored the shops and didn't even have dinner.

 

Kids Club: They are very strict about keeping the children separate based on age. There were several families at registration that wanted their children together, and they politely explained that for safety reasons and to keep activities safe for all children, they cannot do combine different ages together.

 

We picked them up at 7pm and went to the Ice Show. Our Concierge hooked us up with a sticker for our card that will allow us to get into any show, any time (except comedy show) with no reservation. There are special designated areas for Gold Pass holders. They are very good seats! As soon as we got out, we made our way through massive crowds on the Promenade deck and headed for the Aqua Theatre to see Oceanaria from a real seat. It was even more exciting the second time as we had upper center seats. Perfect view!!

 

The full moon over the water was beautiful!

 

 

We also had towel animals tonight! The kids love them!

Pebbles,

What did your kids think of the kids club?

[Pebbles468]

Yesterday was a busy day!!

 

We got up and had a fast breakfast in the Concierge Lounge, then off to our Cabana! Fernando (Concierge) is absolutely wonderful. We got a regular cabana and it was situated in a nice, private location. We had 6 big bottles of Evian waiting for us and towels. The beach itself is nothing spectacular, as there are lots of rocks. If you are sensitive, be sure to wear water shoes. After a few feet there is a drop, so kids need to be supervised closely.

 

Lunch on Barefoot was good. There were hot dogs, hamburgers, jerk chicken, corn, rice & beans, steak, seafood skewers of shrimp - scallops - salmon. Plenty of iced tea and red punch and desserts. Go early as the line becomes massive. There are a few tables/chairs to eat lunch.

 

Shopping in the covered marketplace was nice. They will negotiate and no pressure to buy. It was only my daughter and I shopping and I did not feel comfortable in the open area. I am from Chicago, and not a nervous Nellie. There were many women walking together and everyone was nice, I just didn't want to venture off too far on our own. There were plenty of women walking around on their own and security, so I'm sure it would have been fine it we had walked in.

 

Evening.. Dinner in the MDR was very good. Our waiter asks if we have early shows we need to get to and I also say we would like to get right out and we are finished in about an hour. Perfect for us!

 

We went to the Adult Comedy Show.. Very funny!! We laughed constantly for the entire hour.

 

Today.. Another morning begins with Cappuccino from Concierge and we will be ordering room service.
