Park Cafe for me, there's so much great seating in Central Park!

I agree, we had so much fun at the 70s party, I hope it doesn't get phased out!

No reservations needed for Quest, don't miss it! The only band I see from the pool deck in the afternoon on my cruise compasses for last week was called Caribbean Force, hope this helps.

Last week on Allure, we had Earl Turner, a great entertainer who has done shows in Vegas. We loved him, he was hilarious too! He did snippets of several slow songs where I got sleepy but other than that, great, high energy show.

Just got off Sunday, so jealous of anyone going on this ship! There is so much to do, I had so many things highlighted in my cruise compass. Park Cafe offerings were our favorite, many different salads, sandwiches, and I loved the breakfast sandwiches and taquitos. I would ask them to toast your morning bagel twice, mine was barely toasted. We only made it to the Windjammer once and it was for breakfast. I enjoyed the selections and I wished we had eaten dinner there once because I was not impressed with the MDR menus as I have been in the past. At Chops and Giovanni's, we ordred half portion pastas or 6oz filet and they forced us to order more. I wanted the smaller serving and both servers insisted on bringing us more. We ordered one dessert and they brought us three. Why? Participate in everything that interests you, the 70s party was so much fun, but we almost didn't go, they show it on tv later so we got to see ourselves. We missed the 50s and 60s party, I bet it was fun too. Play dodgeball, pickleball, and table tennis tournaments. Do charades, scattergories, and trivia! OceanAria and Ice Games were awesome, Blue Planet was kind of boring. Sad we missed How to Train your Dragon on ice. I hope you have a great cruise.

I appreciate this thread, I can't believe that woman did that and the crew member did nothing. I also don't understand why anyone would take the time to comment that it is a useless thread. Keep scrolling until you find something useful. Just off the beautiful Allure, everyone was very courteous about smoking areas. Definitely the best cruise we've ever been on, a wonderful ship, I miss her.

Just off today, I didn't enjoy the Warm Chocolate Cake, it was the same as the Molten Chocolate Cake(which was not molten at all). I also didn't like the Warm Dark Chocolate Cookie (it was a dry brownie). I didn't try the Royal Chocolate Cake which was different, but my table mates said it was amazing). Chocolate ganache as the frosting which is much better than american style buttercream. The frozen yogurt is amazing, try the vanilla, chocolate, and strawberry! I agree with others, the chocolate desserts are lacking but I still love RC. Red Velvet cake in Chops was wonderful as well as the Key Lime Meringue Pie. We had a 3 night dining package so I missed soufflé night. Amazing cruise though!

Just off Allure today, loved the pizza, the cheese on it was delicious, it had that stretch you wanna see. We had cheese, pepperoni, vodka sausage, and pizza Primavera. Muffalettas are good too! Goes great with beer!

Not sure but I'm sure you could leave a note asking them to change them. Happy cruising!

I love Galveston! Mario's on 61st, Gumbo Diner, Nick's, ShyKatz Deli, Board Game Island, Mosquito Cafe, Sunflower Cafe, Yaga's , Stuttgarden Tavern(get the pretzel), and Miller's Seawall Grill are my favorites.

I thought Gaido's and Fish Tales were way overpriced.

I have always wanted to rent a 4 person bicycle on the Seawall but my husband never wants to. L.A. Kings and Patty Cakes are great. The Strand is great for shopping.

Galveston.com has a calendar of events and things to do!

@niksmom360 Can't wait to hear everything about your trip! I love photos of food and MDR menus and desserts, would love a photo of the view of port from your hotel. We sail on Allure in 3 weeks! Awesome that you are in a suite!

I love your precious doggos! Hope your hubby has a great birthday, have a wonderful time!

Excited for you, I hear Wonderland is amazing! I wish Allure had that restaurant. Happy cruising!

I got our UBP for $47 a day, I don't know how much the drinks are on Allure but I'm guessing only 4 alcoholic beverages to break even, plus several bottles of water, coffees, sodas. It's worth it for us.

Amazing and interesting review, great pictures!
