Enjoying your review! We are sailing Sunday on the Allure in a Royal Family Suite so I am eager to hear your thoughts! A few years ago we were on the Allure in an Aquatheater Suite and loved that...no going back after experiencing a suite! The ship has been refurbished since that sailing and Costal Kitchen added, so I am looking forward to reading more. We are also trying MTD for the first time and I am a little nervous but wanted a bit later dining time than the early seating. As of now we have reservations for 6:30 each night. Wondering how easy it is to change them if we want to go later. Thanks for posting.

We are sailing on the Allure booked through JetBlue cruises. Same price as booking direct, plus OBC, plus 6x JetBlue points for every dollar spent. Got us to Mosaic status on JetBlue and lots of points--so future free flights plus all the perks of Mosaic. And they were incredibly helpful.

Purchase an inflatable baby bathtub. They are inexpensive and should fit right in the floor of the shower. You can fill it with the water from the shower head and then give your baby a bath. This is what we did when we cruised with our little ones. Not too comfortable for parents to give a bath while sitting on the floor, but will make it manageable for the baby. As an added bonus, you can bring the tub on your balcony if you have one, and use it as a kiddie pool while the parents enjoy a glass of wine.
