Jimbo Posted January 8, 2022 #76 Share Posted January 8, 2022 (edited) @colesc15 @mein18 Why not head to Guest Services and see if you can get a nice upgrade to a large suite? Edited January 8, 2022 by Jimbo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We thought about it. We actually had a big in on a grand suite that never changed to expired or anything. With it as empty as the ship is, we figured it's not worth it. No need for the suite deck since it's empty, we already have access to the diamond lounge if we wanted, and already have the unlimited dining and drink package. We've done grand suites and junior suites in the past but this trip just a balcony. When we booked it for the two of us in an 8 night balcony we only paid like $600 a person lol. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still would be curious what is available and what the cost would be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRK9313 Posted January 8, 2022 #79 Share Posted January 8, 2022 I'm set for Allure on February 13, assuming it goes forward. We were on Jewell out of Cyprus in July and it was max 25% capacity, which was great. Just got off a NY cruise on Carnival Mardi Gras which was closer to 80 percent and was kind of a madhouse at times, although fun. Have a great week!

The letter and comment about percentages was addressed earlier in this thread. The OP asked that we try to keep this thread focused on the review so the thread does not get too off track and doesnt have too many distracting comments from their review. So far, sounds like they are enjoying themselves. Hope you are enjoying their review as well. 🙂 Edited January 8, 2022 by blueslily 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare binro01 Posted January 8, 2022 #90 Share Posted January 8, 2022 (edited) I will be on Allure OTS in just 50 days. Watching the thread and hope to have a nice lo population cruise like yours! Edited January 8, 2022 by binro01 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kccrzr Posted January 8, 2022 #91 Share Posted January 8, 2022 OP, thanks for doing a review. We hope to be on the Allure on a b2b in mid-late February and are trying to decide whether to purchase the UDP. We never have before but this just might be the time to give it a try. Your lunch photos from Giovanni's look great. Go Chiefs! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's nice doing specialty each night vs the normal main dining room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MLT12 Posted January 8, 2022 #93 Share Posted January 8, 2022 We are enjoying all of your posts! Thank you. We were scheduled to be on this cruise, but got scared from all the news and warnings. Due to both of us being asthmatics, we chickened out and cancelled a few days ago. We got “canceler’s remorse” and called the following day to see if we could cancel our cancellation. It was too late. It looks like so much fun! We’re sitting at home, feeling sorry for ourselves, but it’s helping a lot to live vicariously through you and your posts and pictures! We love them! My son didn’t cancel and is on the cruise, so I’m extra happy to read your posts and see the pictures! Have fun and thanks for taking time to post! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a feeling most suites are getting sold out. I think they are making them very reasonable precruise so not sure there are going to be that many left. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are currently on Indy and when we opened our curtains this morning around 6:30, Vision was sitting next to us at the Pier. How was it on Indy? Was it reduced capacity or did it seem full? People adhering to the rules? Will be on her next month. Haven't seen a lot of information on her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First and third with DH. Maybe we met in the D lounge? It was great having low passenger counts. 2 hours ago, colesc15 said: …When we booked it for the two of us in an 8 night balcony we only paid like $600 a person lol. That’s a great price.
