"LIVE" From the Allure of the Seas - 15 - 22 January 2012

Hello Everyone and Welcome to our First of Five Cruises on RCI in 2012.

I am typing from beautiful Palm Coast, FL.

Tonight I will be installed as the Vice Commodore of the Palm Coast Yacht Club in a formal "Change of Watch" ceremony. Because of this, we will leave early Sunday morning for the for the 4 1/2 hour drive to Fort Lauderdale. If all goes well tonight I may have a photo or two to post up tomorrow of tonight's installation.

We will be on the Western Caribbean Itinerary. Here are the details:

Mark your calendars:

April 5, 2012 - 9 night B-2-B on the Jewel of the Seas

October 19, 2012 - 28 night B-2-B on the Vision of the Seas with both a West Bound and an East Bound full transit of the Panama Canal.

Spotty says he is going to miss us.

We will miss him and Red Dog and Baxley and our two cats, Max and Dixie. We have found an excellent Pet Sitter who comes to our home every day, feeds everyone, plays with them for awhile, and cleans up after them.

Happy Cruising Everyone...

Happy Cruising Everyone...

Can't wait for the review and the pics...K.O. Near Philly:)

Wow! Radio and Trainman-2 at almost the same time. I remember we had that last year.

Congrats on your new position at the yacht club, Trainman! Can't wait for this week, I did the Western on Allure in June an can't wait to see your pics.

What an exciting week - virtually cruised with Radio, now Trainman and in 5 weeks from today, I'll be boarding the Allure. Life is good!

Congratulations on your appointment Trainman, they couldn't have picked a better person!

Smooth sailing for you and Judith - enjoy your time away :)

Congratulations tonight and safe travels to the ship tomorrow. Cant wait to follow along again!

Congrats!!! Trainman.

We will be on the Allue in Oct. But Falmouth is a stop on our March Liberty cruise and we are looking at the ship's Chukka Beach excursion. Could you please let us know if you hear any comments about this? We will be interested in your observations of this new port.

Thanks and looking forward to your reviews , they are always so great.

Congrats!!! Trainman.

I did the Chukka Beach Break in Falmouth last April when I was there on the Navigator. I thought it was great. The beach was very nice and the lunch that was provided was good. I would definitely recommend the excursion.

We are doing the Captain Hook adventure in Falmouth. We booked it through RCI.

I did this excursion twice - last Feb on Navigator and in July on Allure. Would definitely recommend this if you want to relax on a beautiful, quiet beach.

Aww, Spotty, they will be home soon! Looking forward to your report!

I was just thinking it would be nice if there could be another live cruise to fill in the days until my very first cruise on this beauty!!!

Thanks Trainman!

Have a great time on the BEAUTIFUL ALLURE!! I look forward to reading your review and pictures! :)

Bookmarked!

Can't wait!

Looking forward to your review! My family and I will be on her in April and can't wait. Please post lost of pictures:)

Here is the M&M Group Photo that one of our members did from photos sent in by a bunch of us.

We have a Pre M&M tomorrow at 2:30 in the Schooner Bar and another Pre M&M on the Pool Deck for the 5:00 pm sail away.

The installation ceremony at the Yacht Club was really nice.

I won't have the "official" photos for awhile but here are two "quickies" of us showing off our new Yacht Club Uniforms outside the club with the canal in the background.

It is time to say "Good Night Everyone"

It is 10:15 as I type this and I hope to roll the lovely Judith out of bed early enough that we can be in the car and out the driveway by 6 am.

M next post will be "Live From the Allure" Sunday afternoon or evening.
