Hi! We are sailing on Allure 7/31 and are staying ocean front balcony in Ft Lauderdale tonight. Just wondering if anyone knows what time she will be returning to port? I would like to get up and see if I can see her coming in? TIA!

I am 40 +, but still in pretty good shape! I love White House Black Market. I also shop TJ Max for deals.

Great review!

I had scheduled Mama Mia for day 2 at 2pm and they changed mine to 5pm also. I have a 5:45 dinning ressie so I'm not sure how they feel we can watch a 2 1/2 hour show in the 45 minutes they have given me!:confused: We are not all pleased!:(

Wondering cost, distance from port, how to get there, etc. Any reviews would be great.

Thanks for all the great ideas.

Any input would be great?

I am a vegetarian that in addition to not eating meat, I don't eat eggs and use Almond milk, though I do eat Greek yogurt and cottage cheese. We usually cruise Disney or RCI with some Carnival thrown in. I don't like the Indian Vegetarian options , I prefer simplly prepared fresh vegetable dishes which are not usually an option. I can often times find 2 apps of which one is a salad, and ask for a baked potato. I would love to see a wider offering of vegetarian dishes in the main diningroom.

Great picture, dressing up looks fun.

Thanks for the review! Would love some ideas for dressing up!

Would love some suggestions for Prohibition Event on Allure? Dress style, hair style , soes, accessories, etc?

Hi! Wil be on Allure July 31 and are wondering if someone could review the Prohibition Event? It looks like fun, but would love to hear how it was from someone that has been? Pics would also be great! TIA

Great info, thanks for the replies.

Hi! Just wondering which nights are formal? Also wondering if anyone has cruise compass for western that they would share? Also would love any input/menus for specialties and bars and input for shore excursions? TIA!

Hi we will be on Allure on 7/31 and would love to do isla passion but don't want to go by twister! Any private tours?? TIA!

Does Victory have this?

Me too!! It's my very first cruise as well. My little brother is getting married in Grand Cayman. I'm excited and totally freaked out about going on a cruise. Before my brother opted for a destination wedding, I vowed to never go on a cruise (ah... the old never say never adage applies for a reason!)

It's going to be great! You will have a wonderful time I'm sure!

Love reading your reviews and especially look forward to this one! What a wonderful tribute for your dad!

Can't wait to sail on her Jan 4th any info/tips appreciated!

Depends on what you drink. I usually do frozen drinks (Kiss on the Lips, Twilight Zone, Miami Vice...) which are right about $10 each with gratuity. That would mean that I'd need 6 per day to break even.

Thanks! I was thinking I could drink 6-8 over the course of the whole day! I do like the frozen drinks, so I think we might try it!

Anyone know what the break even point is as far as drinks that need to be consumed?

We have a kyss bag a do like it! It's no heavier than a regular beach bag and is very cute! I have the hot pink one with embroidered flip flops!

Since no one can comment on this is there another tour company you would reccomend in Ochos ? We just want to go to Turtle River Falls and Gardens! TIA!

See my post above, but as far as being like the Valor; well it will be similar in layout with some small differences, but mostly will seem like same layout. You will notice a difference in décor. Valor is one of Carnivals less colorful ships, and this will be good for some folks, so Victory is very Green and blue. Valor's décor is more muted, less colorful in my opinion. Victory is older, but I did not notice any more wear and tear. The ship is well maintained. I have been on the Valor too, and liked them both about the same, though they are somewhat different from each other.

 

So décor, different, layout very similar, and both ships, excellent crew and service. Enjoy your cruise:)

Thanks for the input! While I have done Valor twice and enjoyed her, I don't find her decor that appealing! I look forward to the ocean colors on Victory!

Hi we are a mom an daughter on Carnival Victory on Jan 4 with a stop at Ocho and would love to be able to do the enchanted gardens but want to be safe! Any input on this tour company or any suggestions appreciated! TIA!
