Is Dave doing a live report from his cruise? If so, what is the name of the forum he is posting it under?

What can I say about this beautiful ship? Well lets just say this will be a brief but accurate summary of the ship and trip.

 

Lets start with the bad. While this ship is very very large it can accommodate everyone on board. With that being said, there where times when the elevator was crowded. Those times were after shows or other events and when coming back on board after a port stop and getting off. It seems as if people of all races have forgotten these very simple words to help any situation. Those words are, excuse me if this makes anyone mad or causes a fight. "EXCUSE ME"! those WORDS WERE NOT USED AT ALL! Now I am not one who likes confrontation but you are not going to disrespect my family or myself. People would bump, step, push or anything for no good reason. Enough about that! There were some instances of racism on board. Once incident involved my daughters. GOOD THING I WAS NOT WITH THEM AT THE TIME OR I MIGHT HAVE BEEN THROWN OF THE SHIP. THE IGNORANT ONES DID NOT OUT WEIGH THE BEAUTIFUL ONES. Another problem was the air conditioning. My room turned into a sauna at around 1am. Good thing I am married or whoever my roommate would have been would have been in for a very very exciting surprise! LOL! Now to the good. Everything else. The ship is as advertised. It is very beautiful and very, very, HUGE. The food was excellent, the service was impeccable, the rooms spacious and my money gone. LOL! The workers made sure you had an awesome experience. Meeting new friends from around the country and outside the country was a great plus. Hey JoAnn, John, Mark, Sedonie, and all the others. While this was a very short and to the point review I would be glad to answer any questions. Just be mindful all questions answered comes with a price. We have to go on a cruise together with the families and have a good time. Also the drinking package is well worth it.:p To sum everything up: would I go on the Allure again, definitely. Did the bad experiences mess my trip up NO. Did I party with a purpose YES YES YES. So about not having no pictures, forgot the camera. OK OK OK OPEN FOR ALL QUESTIONS! LOL!:)

Oops, I hit the send button too soon. Can you confirm the configuration for us.. Was the bed nearest the balcony or the hallway? Thank you in advance..Bruce and Debbie

We chose a later independent disembarkation from the Allure and hung out by the pool until called off. They called us off about 9:30-9:40 and then we waited in an enormously long line to get into the terminal, found our luggage and waited again in an enormously long line to get through customs. Got outside and took a taxi over to the Royal (about 5 min) and arrived near 11 am which worked out just fine. Depending on the traffic between the piers and how your timing works out, you may need to wait a bit once at the Princess terminal but there will be no need for you to find anything to do in between.

 

Enjoy your Anniversary cruises!

Cindy

Thanks for the feedback!

Cindy (Shipmeout), my wife and I have the identical itinerary booked for the spring for our 30th anniversary. Allure first followed by the Royal Princess. How did you find the transfer time between the two ships, or did you need to find some things to do during that morning to fill the time.

Dining guide? Where do I find this fantastic dining guide of which you speak?

Yes, the Patters from the 7 day Eastern will be more valuable info. For those of you staying inboard for 1 or 2 b2b's, are you planning on continuing this thread or starting a new one?

Do you, or any of the other posters happen to recall if specialty coffees, such as cappuccino or latte's, are available in the main dining room during your meal?

My wife and I are Alluring it next spring for our 30th anniversary. We, of course, have scoured Cruise Critic for past trip reviews, and I must say yours is the most entertaining we've encountered so far. Looking forward to reading the rest!
