clskinsfan Posted August 23, 2022 #128 Share Posted August 23, 2022 That is a pretty incredible shot. Shows just how huge the Allure really is. Makes Horizon look like a toy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Close and at a decent speed. I looked at the timing of those photos and all three shots occurred in a minute and a half! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare niksmom630 Posted August 23, 2022 Author #134 Share Posted August 23, 2022 (edited) We went ashore around 1 pm, no specific plans, just a bit of shopping and beverages of course. We have a resort for a day booked in curaçao tomorrow, so we decided against a second beach day in a Aruba. The port shopping map says it’s a “short” walk into downtown. Pretty certain not everyone would agree. 🥵 Not a lick of shade the entire way. Saw lots of umbrellas Edited August 23, 2022 by niksmom630 Typo 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare niksmom630 Posted August 23, 2022 Author #139 Share Posted August 23, 2022 Aruba isn’t a particularly “pretty” port as far as the views from the ship…. I had originally planned to try and book a dinner on the beach at sunset here….I think I thought the port hours were longer 🤔 🤦🏼♀️ wound up cancelling a dinner reservation at Waters Edge in Aruba. Ate in the MDR instead and made some spa appointments for day 7 in Labadee using one of the port specials. Post sunset view 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you like Balashi you need to do the tour to the brewery next time you are in Aruba. Pretty interesting. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare niksmom630 Posted August 24, 2022 Author #141 Share Posted August 24, 2022 Central Park is one of my favorite features on Oasis class ships. After countless sailings it still never gets old, and I always find different angles and perspectives 😎 I make it a point to take at least 10-12 photos there every sailing. Allure is particularly photogenic because the plantings are so mature compared to the newer ships. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
