LIVE from Allure of the Seas, sailing April 27th!

[breeezy]

Wendy B, I know all about those kringles! My wife makes runs up to H&O Danish Bakery at least a couple times a month. They are delicious.

 

Were cruising with Chris onboard the Regal Princess in November. He has our roll call group already preparing for the boa & fedora sail away. It will be lot's of fun for sure!:)

 

Chris, keep up the good work, I'm enjoying every post of this live review.

 

Cheers - Ken & Darlene

 

 

I will be watching you all leave and taking screenshots of all of you waving!! I am sure Chris will do a live review of that one too. Can't wait.

 

Can you please find out how much these drinks are with these cups. I got them on Oasis in Feb/Mar on my B2B and some people have been asking me. They are sold with the drink of the day by the pool. They might only be sold on sea days.

 

I bought one on Oasis OTS last September. They were selling them on the pool deck with the drink of the day for $8 or $9. It was a great deal, since you get a really nice insulated cup.

 

I think I paid about $10.64 on Oasis. They definitely did not have them on ALlure when I was on there in November. Hopefully they have them now. Maybe they need to use up whatever supply they have and then they move on to these cups.

Really enjoying your review.

 

Who is the CD? Too lazy to hunt down DonnaK's thread.

 

Only 6 weeks to our Vision pink sands cruise.

 

Ken Rush is our CD on this cruise

9:30 M&M instead of 10:30....interesting. Looks like you had a good group, we have 112 registered so far, wonder how many will show up.

Have fun at the slot pull!! Be sure to let us know how it goes!!

 

We had 87 sign up for our meet and mingle and I think only about half showed up. Same with the slot pull.... only half made it. It was fun, but we didn't even come close to breaking even :P

That would be SO awesome if that was the spot we get in June!!

 

 

 

Really? They had them on Coco Cay? That would be GREAT! I am really tired of the other cups they have there. They are the same as the ones on Labadee, but they say Coco Cay. I like these new cups so much better! I am using mine right now.....drinking water out of it and pretending I am at the pool with Chris drinking a foofoo drink!!:D

 

 

Yep, I was surprised that they were using them for the drinks. I had so many of the other ones. I just kept 1 of each color for the campground and threw the rest away. LOL

On to the Doghouse for lunch

 

 

 

 

Enjoying lunch with Tracey and Ron

We're just east of Grand Turk as we continue on to St. Thomas. Dinner at Giovannis, then the comedy show. Might be late before I update again but will try to later on.

 

Thanks for tuning in everyone! :)

Love the Allure! Best Ship Ever!

Sorry you all didn't come out winners at the slot pull. More money in the pot for RCI new builds or to improve their bottom line. Most of the time it seems that only a few who are signed up for the M&M actually attend. At 9:30, they were probably still in bed or at breakfast. I've seen many complaints about M&Ms being scheduled at 10:30 because it was too early. Personally, I'm usually up before sunrise to see that beautiful sight. I can sleep when I get home.

 

Anyway, enjoying your review and your pictures are great.

I slept a lot on my first cruise. It was sooooo relaxing, I just couldn't help it. Will not be making that mistake twice!!

Fabulous job as always Chris! Never a good idea to look at food when I am starving, I hope you are having an amazing time.

[jmrothermel]

Great review so far! I'm continuing to follow along :)

I guess the M&M number is typical, a lot of folks sign up and do not attend.

Sorry about the slot pull. Maybe we should pick a different machine next week??

Did you notify the casino Mgr. about your slot pull? I've heard stories of it being a bad idea to let them know when/what machine you'll be using.

Did they hook you up with any swag??

 

Glad you had fun!! That's what's most important, even though it would be nice to win. :)

[jaspercat]

Sorry to hear about the low numbers Chris. See you had breakfast at my fav spot :). Look forward to reading more about your day once home later.

I did not notify the casino manager. Just winged it and had fun

I think you had lower attendance for meet and mingle because it was early am, I know that I am just waking up out of bed myself at 9:30. lol Oh Chris, what time is breakfast served until in the main dining room on port and sea days?

I know it was till 10 am yesterday. I very rarely eat breakfast in the MDR on Oasis and Allure.... I tend to go to Johnny Rockets instead

[BugsyCruiser]

A trip on the Rising Tide Bar was order before heading to Giovanni's for dinner....

 

 

 

 

[BugsyCruiser]

A better shot of the menu at Giovanni's

 

 

Love the bread here

 

[BugsyCruiser]

The beef tenderloin was superb

 

Tiramisu! :D

 

Off to have a few drinks and then head to the comedy show! Take care my friends :)

This is the spot we spent most of our time on our 3/30 sailing. Love the Rising Tide bar. Loved Christopher even more. If you see him there (if they haven't rotated him somewhere else) tell him Andy and Jennifer say hello!!!

He left me hungry, boy that steak looked amazing!

Chris, that filet mignon looked delicious. We loved the comedy shows when we were on Allure. We did a B2B and never rode the rising tide bar. Will have to do it next time. Enjoy!!!
