Atlantis-Allure of the Seas 2011 information

[GXmanDC]

Just booked a midship balcony on Deck 8! Can't wait.

 

Welcome to the Central Park neighborhood. We are also midship deck 8, starboard side. We have some good friends there too.

 

You'll have a great time, I love the Atlantis experience.

Holy Crap! It's just amazing that they're going to sell out this entire 5,000+ person ship strictly through Alumni and word-of-mouth nearly a year in advance! There's been virtually no advertising. Obviously those of us who were begging Rich to book the Oasis class knew what we were talking about!! ;)

I wonder how many border patrol officers and dogs will greet us at the gangway on this sailing

[JSnow789]

I notice this is nearly sold out which is incredible, what age range do you think will be on this boat?

 

If I can't get on this, i am thinking about trying the Mariner in October, what will this be like?

 

 

I'm still thinking about Mariner in October as well... just have to get some work lined up...

We just got back from our first cruise on the Solstice and are now hooked on the cruise experience. We just booked the Allure for next Feb and are very excited. The ship looks amazing.

With 5500 boys and girls flocking into town for this cruise, I would imagine hotels are going to be pretty full. Does anybody have the inside scoop on deals during that time. I know that the "gay hotels" normally have a 3 night minimum stay. For those of us not staying longer than two nights, we might have to go to the str8 hotels.

We look forward to meeting everybody on board.

I booked yesterday. This cruise is booking so fast I cant believe it. No inside cabins left. It will cost me literally twice as much as the Liberty did, but.....the liberty was soo much fun....

 

I will have to room share this time. Yikes...

I was looking at pre cruise lodging this week, I like the gay hotels but don't plan to spend 3 nights pre cruise, checked some of the straight chains and found some already booked up.

Hey Gang, I booked today for this cruise...can't wait. When I booked I asked the agent if it's going to sell out quickly and he said he wouldn't be surprised if it sold out within a week or so...looking forward to a fun time.

Well, it is that time again, as on all gay cruises the rumor-mill is alive and well as to who they are getting as headliners and all the rest of the entertainment. For this cruise, we heard one of the performers is going to be none other than RICKY MARTIN. It will be great to see him and his family on board.

It has been announced on the Atlantis site and mentioned by Rich in various "Ask Atlantis" sessions over the past few cruises that there will not be a "headliner" as the theater on this ship can not hold the all 5,500 guests in two sittings.

 

This is from the Atlantis site:

 

Will there be a Headliner?

We’re still putting our entertainment plan together for the Allure and will probably not use a single “big name” as we’ve done in the past. It’s simple logistics, since we’d need to have them perform 4 shows and this is not likely to be feasible. That said, there is a full Broadway production onboard, the Aqua Show, and a flying show that is truly the largest show ever built on a ship. We’ll likely bring two or three amazing acts, plus a cadre of Atlantis favorites to celebrate our anniversary.

it should also be interesting with so many entertainment venues on the Oasis and will they be cancelled the week of the Atlantis cruise and replaced with gay entertainment? For example, on the ice skaing rink, how many gay ice skaters could they bring on board to do a show......or does anyone know a gay diver for the aqua show???? LOL

:rolleyes:

Funny you bring up gay ice skaters. A long time Atlantis Team member has recently (post Solstice Med cruise) joined the RCCL ice skating show on I believe Navigator. If he is still skating for RCCL I wonder if he will transfer to the Allure for our cruise?

[Loftguys]

and we all will be getting ready to board the mighty Allure!!!

 

:cool:

WOW!! According to the Atlantis website, all of the categories are sold out.

Good for them! This is going to be soooo much fun :)

[MarkIt]

That's soooo cool, it will be the biggest blast on the sea, now I only have to worry about getting a flight there in time.

[MarkIt]

Is anyone else having trouble getting the alumni pages? Just wanted to make sure it just wasn't me. Thanks.

They don't appear to be there. I wonder if they were deleted for some reason.

I was having the same issues as both of you then received an alert that a new message was posted to the 20th Anniversary group and I followed the link from the email and now I have full access to the Alumni site but it appears that the URL has changed for some reason.

 

I did have to log back in but all is well.

 

Sure can't wait for this trip to happen. It will be a blast I'm sure!!!!

Thanks, that actually worked. It doesn't make much sense as I had the alumni page saved in my favorites and it worked the day before. Thanks again...see you on Allure!

Hi guys, I just decided to go on this cruise and was suprised to hear it's Sold out already..guess everybody wants bigger and better. Isn't that human nature:)

 

Anyway, I would like to go on the cruise now. If you know of anybody who is willing to share 1/2 their cabin, or sell their cabin can you please let me know.

 

Please feel free to pass my info to friends, my cell is 619-398-7425 and email is RDALLIN@cox.net. Hope something opens up. Thank you. Rick
