[Allureaddict]

*I have no clue how to do the handy attachments, So i will just go with it and see and how it looks.

 

The night before the cruise we stayed at the Embassy Suites. I recommend this hotel for anyone crusing. The free happy hour and breakfast by themselves were worth the price. At the time we checked in, the hotel offered us fifty bucks to go someplace else, as they were overbooked. We did not take the money, Im guessing it was overbooked because there was a wedding going on.

 

From our room in the embassy we could see the ships! The oasis was much larger than I expected her to be. The allure was even better!

 

 

Check in was a breeze. They have it set up by deck, which makes it alot easier. We got stuck with the meanest lady on earth. She did not smile at all, not even once. I wish I got a picture of her!

 

 

ALOT more pictures coming. Im testing this thing out

Glad to hear about the Embassy Suites. We've requested a room that is up high and faces the port, so we'll see what we get. I'll be there in three more weeks! Can't wait.

As we got onto the ship we stepped into the Royal Promenade. I have quite a few funny stories about this place. During formal nights the women would walk around in these 5 inch heels and looked like they were about to stumble over. It was quite the fashion show I must say. I saw alot of pageant gowns.

 

Also some individuals seem to have forgotten how to walk in a straight line. Drunk? I dont know. I had a collision with this female because she wasnt looking where she was going and was walking in a diagonal way. We bumped pretty hard.

 

Anyway as soon as we got settled into our room (pictures of that coming soon) we went straight to cafe promenade

 

 

 

Dont get me started on the elevators. That was my only complaint.

People squish into the elevator knowing full well that it is full, they simply dont care.

Parents let their children press all kinds of buttons.

Parents also let their children run around like a chicken with its head cut off.

I also forgot to add that we packed RR in our luggage..and it got through with no issue. Easy as pie.

 

Of course after lunch we had to have dinner at the windjammer

 

 

 

And dessert

 

And of course more dessert

This thing only let's me post six pictures at once. Coming up next 150 central park pictures!

[Allureaddict]

150 central park wad beyond amazing. Our waiter was Oliver, he was great!

They give you a menu with your name and ask you if you want still or sparkling water. We choose still.just FYI the still water is not free it is 6.95 a bottle, we didn't know this!

 

First course a lobster salad

 

Second..a artichoke veloute

 

 

Third course was a sea bass

 

Fourth course a lamb mignardise

 

 

Fifth course was a roasted poussin roulade I didn't get a picture of :(

 

Dessert was warm chocolate cake...amazzzzzing

 

[Allureaddict]

There was a cheese plate

 

And after dinner drinks at Viking, which I didn't have to pay for..don't ask

 

 

Sorry some of the pictures are dark, it's pretty dark in 150 central park

[Allureaddict]

The seafood looks good as do desserts. Wish we had booked 150 now..... Love the cupcake pics, my daughter and I are taking that class a week from today.

Missed you at the M&M. My DD was hoping there would be someone close to her age. Enjoying your review, never made it to the windjammer. We also went straight to the Park Cafe after boarding. I am planning to do a mini-review of what I think are the must dos. will enjoy your pics since I am too techno challenged to upload pictures.

First-time cruise on the Allure. Nice. Of course its going to be real hard to sail on a smaller ship after this. :D

 

My family and I will be staying at the Embassy Suites in August before boarding the Allure. Glad too hear you liked it.
