SummerIsAStateOfMind

I'm considering the Allure for Nov 2020. Have you heard anything about the expected upgrades? I can't find anything online.

Just completed binge reading your  awesome 👏🏽 review. It’s been 3 whole months since my Symphony sail and this felt like I was cruising again. Thanks!

I was also on this cruise and brought home an Abyss souvenir.  I held the straps as instructed, but somehow tipped over sideways and went down part of the slide with my forehead rubbing the side.  It could have been worse; I have just two spots about the size of a dime each where the skin was rubbed off my forehead.  And I will be trying it again next time.

Ouch!

Some people on our shuttle this morning were saying that the people left behind had children they had left on the ship.  I hope that is just a false rumor.

Oh no! I hope that isn’t true but I’m sure that the staff is prepared for events like that. 

Settling in for the long wait at Miami airport. Multiple flights cancelled due to grounded planes. Those passengers are now on standby and it’s affecting other flights with delays. 

Departure day blues. Everyone’s walking around in a daze, not enough coffee to make up for the final night 😞.

Disembarking with the Key was great. We could eat anywhere, leave anytime & although our personal escort was MIA, we found the special line by Sorrentos (most crew didn’t seem to know where it was) The luggage 🧳 for Key members was by the Suite & Pinnacle area.

I’ll be doing a separate review for the Key when I’m fully awake.

Did Dazzles have a Filipino cover band?

They did at one point but had different themes and bands throughout the cruise

I know that feeling all to well! Last year on the Harmony the same happen to me. It hurt so bad for at least a couple of weeks. DH had to help me place a dressing on my arm every morning while I dressed for work. I have a daily reminder of my time on the Abyss. I did hold my arms as instructed however, my right arm came loose & rubbed against the metal. Don't get me wrong it's a fun ride! I will be packing a long sleeved tee for my ride this year on Symphony!

 

I want to say...Thanks for bringing us along with you & your family on your vacation! I really enjoyed your reviews & pictures .I look forward to hearing from you. Safe travels home!

Thanks for following! I’ll be adding more pics that my kids took around the ship 

Day 7 wrap up as I sit in the Promenade by Copper & Kettle listening to music, might head up to Dazzles next. 

Sad news of the trip: I watched 3 people stand on the pier helpless as the ship pulled away. 2 got left behind in Roatan too. 😮

Missed the family comedy show due to frantic packing, where did the day go? I did however catch the late viewing of Hiro. Another spectacular show “Bravo”

Dinner tonight in the MDR was great! The best I’ve had there so far. Greek Salad, Tiger shrimp & my fav Creme Brûlée. Between you & me, I went all out & ordered 2 main courses, followed by viewing & buying a picture package.

Hope your partying it up on your last night. Nassau looked like a good day.

Trying to burn the midnight oil but the struggle is real.

Short stop but such a lovely day in Nassau & Paradise Island. Met up with cousins at Sharkeez and got an Island tour, caves and craft market followed by lunch by D Waters Cafe. 

Final stop Nassau Bahamas 🇧🇸. Sharing the port with Disney, Carnival and a few others.

A little spin around the dance floor at Boleros & suddenly it’s time to wrap up this thrilling day and get ready for Nassau tomorrow or is that later today?

What time is it? It’s Crazy Quest time. 😮 I have no words 😶 Shout our Cruise Director was a Riot. 

The show and sets for Flight was phenomenal! Informative too about the history of flight ✈️ 

Where do the teens disappear to at night? The Solarium hot tubs!

Formal dining - Lobster tonight! The MDR was super crowded but the staff worked it is like a well oiled machine & we got in and out in time for the show. I love that all the restaurants and MDR are sensitive to allergies.

More 🌊 sea day fun around Symphony

Is it just luck of the draw at catching the stow a way pianist? Is he found more frequently at any one venue on the ship?

Based on sightings, he seems to spend most of his time in the forward part of the ship. Finding him however is part of the fun.

I’m hooked on Hooked Seafood. Lunch date with the DH while the boys went to Jonny Rockets. Everything that we had in Hooked was delish especially my lobster roll & seafood chowder. 😋 DH (Ed) loved the raw oysters.

Sail Aweigh party time 🥳 best lookout spot is above the crowds at the Schooner Bar!

Extremely Windy day on deck with many areas in the Solarium closed including the lower deck.

That didn’t stop some folks who wouldn’t let a little caution tape & staff warnings change their vacay plans.

Happy Happy Joy joy! I finally ran into the stowaway pianist in the elevator. Love this guy.
