Jagercruiser

Hey, welcome! I was just wondering what made you decide to book your first cruise? Mine was because some friends asked us if we would like to join them on a cruise they were taking back in 2005. So glad they did!

Good question! I'll try not to ramble too much. ;)

My wife and I have been kicking around the idea of taking a cruise for 2-3 years now. We both love the ocean, sea air, and seeing new places, so it seemed like a natural thing to check out at some point.

We are also both "those Disney people". We just visited Disneyland for the big 60th anniversary, and ended up having sort of a less than stellar experience. When we got back we discussed it, and decided it was time to take a break from all that, and start doing some of the other things we always talk about doing.

We had seen the documentary on the Oasis of the Seas a couple of years ago, and that led me to search for a review site, which brought me here. After some updated homework, we decided on the Allure and pulled the trigger to make sure we didn't talk ourselves out of it. :D

Now we are looking at maybe adding a travel day, and a couple of days at Universal Studios Florida before the cruise since we don't make it to the East Coast much (twice in 21 years of marriage; one of those was our honeymoon!), and we have never been there either.

So there ya have it!

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone!

I am a planner, and already did a ton of research before we booked, but there are still so many questions! I look forward to getting to know the community.

Hello all,

I am a double-newbie. Just joined the board, and I just booked my first cruise (wife's first as well!). We are going to be on Allure in 2017, and I am sure I will be stopping by a lot between now and then! :)
