Allure Helipad Sailaway

[ryanbarckley]

Hello!

 

I'm in a suite (2BR Aqua Theater) and I've seen different information from different time periods about this, so I thought I'd ask if anyone has any recent experiences. I know suites generally get invited to a sail away on the helipad, we are doing a western Caribbean (Nassau, Cozumel, Roatan, Costa Maya). Anyone know which port they usually do the event for?

 

Thanks!

-Ryan

Thanks both of you! We'll see what happens as we get a bit closer, I'll try and ask our genie (I'm about 3 weeks out).

Every time we've had the opportunity, with Nassau as one of the ports- that's been the first choice for the suite sail away party.  The back up has always been the next stop (we had a great party in St Thomas, as we were in the shade of the hills).

Concierge on Oasis told a sky class passenger that there are "too many of you" in those types of suites and sail away on helipad was star, D+ and Pinnacle.  Didn't go over well with the sky class passenger we spoke with.

Sorry wrong ship i was just on allure last and had sail away at nassau. 

 

Allure does not have a sail away and has a capt reception in sl instead.  I was last on oasis oct 2017 and no sail away both weeks.  On oasis we were not invited sailing in a crown loft or as D+ guests.  I am surprised it was for D+, P and star class but not sky class guests.

Nice to hear that some ships are still doing "sail away".  We are on Jewel doing some B2B cruises - no sail away party at all for anyone.  Gone!  In fact, no wine at any of the consecutive cruiser lunches either.  Maybe they should've said it was BYOB.

On allure several weeks ago and we did have a helipad sail away but were not invited to a captain reception in the suite lounge as either Aqua Theater Suite guest or Pinnacle.

Correction to my post above.  Oasis is no sail away and has capt reception instead. 

 

Allure has a sail away party.  Nassau for one and usually Falmouth for the other itinerary.

We sailed Allure in September and the helipad sail away was in San Juan. We were in a sky class suite and got the invite.

It's nice to go to the helipad sailaway once just to experience it.  But there is nowhere to sit and I cannot stand for that long.  I don't bother anymore.

Some ships do have benches.
