Allure of the Seas 2-in-1 Photo Review ~ October 12 & November 9, 2014

A few of the people in our group had boardwalk balconies which they spiced up a little with some decorations.

 

Glad to see they are allowing decorations on the Boardwalk balconies. Two years ago we did Halloween decorations on our Allure boardwalk balcony, but last year on Oasis they made us take them down. Looks like we should pack the decorations for next week. :D

At 4:30 was the Muster Drill. Our Muster station was G1 which was in the Aqua Theatre.

Don't pack too quickly. They were told to take the decorations down :(

Had my hopes up for a second. Oh well...

As far as balcony decorations go, we were the last three boardwalk balcony cabins on the starboard side. It was very windy first two days, probably from the storm brewing East of us. We were told to take them down but others on Boardwalk balconies were not told to remove them but they were much more forward. So give it a shot. Ours were highly visible and taking a beating from wind.

After the muster drill we headed up to the "secret" sun deck at the bow of the ship on deck 14 for sail away.

Hello down there

 

This is the building which houses the Port Everglades Webcam

 

You can see the webcam hanging down from the top of the 3rd floor balcony

We decorated the balconies, but by the third day we were asked to take them down. However, there was a balcony closer to the entrance to the boardwalk that had their decorations up all week!! I imagine it had something to do with how close we were to the end with more wind and the possibility of the decorations being torn down by the wind. We probably could have left the cut outs taped up to the glass and just taken down the garland.

The refrigerator comes stocked with pop (soda if you're American), water and chocolate bars. There are charges for consumption. I always ask my room steward to take everything out.

It's not technically called that. Its just me that calls it that. Check out this video of the tsunami effect caused by the bigger ships.

I took pictures of food in the dining room but sometimes I forgot. On night 1 I took of the appetizers but forgot the entrees & dessert.

Scallops au Gratin

 

Spinach Salad

 

We celebrated Lauren & Alyssa's 18th birthdays

After dinner Michelle & I went to see Chicago in the Amber Theatre. I love that Royal Caribbean has Broadway shows on their ships. They really are so much better than the production shows on other ships. Sorry, no pictures during the show.

 

We then went to the Ice Cream Parlor on the boardwalk. For each of us to have 1 scoop the cost was $4.60. That's fairly reasonable. I had Cookie Dough and I don't remember what she had. I do remember both were very good.

 

 

 

While walking around the pool deck I noticed these small kids loungers near the H2O zone. They are pretty cute & a good idea for the kids. I'm sure they are on Oasis but I don't remember seeing them. Later in the week I saw kids laying in them but thought it would be just a little too creepy to take pictures of them then.

 

 

After hours mini golf
