Phillies14 Posted February 6, 2012 #201 Share Posted February 6, 2012 I just found this thread - thanks to all for the wonderful tips! I've been compiling my own info, and now have much more to add to my folder. Sixteen more days and I'll be on the wonderful Allure (and have all kinds of "insider tips"!) :) Have sailed Oasis three times and soon to be four on Allure! You will be amazed! The ship and the crew are fabulous....K.O. Near Philly:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

erries Posted February 8, 2012 #203 Share Posted February 8, 2012 recent WESTERN Compasses: Day_1_Compass Day_2_Compass Day_3_Compass Day_4_Compass Day_5_Compass Day_6_Compass Day_7_Compass These Compasses are from January 2011, so they're over a year old now. Is it safe to assume they're still generally accurate? I'm about a hundred days out and want to plan my show reservations around the Quest, etc. If there's a more recent Allure western itinerary Compass floating around, could someone point me to it? Thanks! Edit: Never mind, I downloaded these and started looking through them, and it turns out they're for an Eastern itinerary, not Western. Anyone know where I can get Western? Thanks again.

funNsun4me Posted August 19, 2012 #209 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Did Allure roll out the new menus? and if so, does anyone have any copies of them for the Eastern Route. Trying to figure what day to do specialty restaurant. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kenlorz Posted August 19, 2012 #216 Share Posted August 19, 2012 We will be sailing the Allure for the first time this spring, so the following are not tips of my own experience. These are tips I have written down from others reviews, threads or tiplists, of which I have many, but will only list the ones I don't recall seeing as of yet. * There is a cavier bar in the Champagne bar during happy hour, which is not listed in the cruise compass and complimentary with a drink purchase. They also do canapes early evenings and chocolate covered strawberries late evenings with drink orders * Deck 5 jogging track on the aft of the ship. Great place to lounge in a quieter setting and enjoy the wake. * Central Park in the evenings. Piped in cricket sounds, twinkle lights, stringed instruments a couple of hours most evenings, a romantic place to stroll or sit. * You can email RCCL ahead of your departure and request an eggcrate mattress topper for your bed. * It is reported that ??some/most/all?? of the balcony doors must be closed and locked in order for the air conditioner to work. * Quest: An adult scavenger hunt. Funny to participate in or just watch. Held in studio B (the ice rink) on Wednesday nights @ 11:45 pm * Love & Marriage Game Show: Reminiscent of the newleywed game show. Watch your fellow passengers participate on stage in this game show. Held Tuesday nights (10 or 10:30?) * Prohibition Party: A step back in time to a Speak Easy. Limited to 50 people. Held Thursday nights in Jazz on 4(10 or 10:30?). Must make reservations. People dress up in '20s period garb (think flapper dresses and gangster suits). Gin drinks and a limited bar are included in the $35 Fee. * Rita's Fiesta: Held 3 nights of the week. Lively, festive atmosphere (think limbos and line dancing). $30 gets you a pre-fixed meal, 3 margaritas (or other drink of choice) OR $20 gets you the non-alcoholic version.

funNsun4me Posted August 20, 2012 #218 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Someone posted the new menus on another thread. It seems each day has a different herb name, ie. Saffron, Basil and so on. I was wondering if whoever is sailing after 9/15, when the new menus are to make their debut on Allure, could please post which days are which herb name. I will be sailing in Nov. and would like to figure out which day(s) to book my specialty dining. Any help is appreciated. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoyCoy Posted August 21, 2012 #219 Share Posted August 21, 2012 I am sailing the Allure on Sept 16th. I will post a Thread when I return about the menu. I viewed the menu from a previous poster and am interested in trying the new soups. I may partake in a dining package and wonder if I could enjoy the soups I would miss in the MDR at another venue.. ANYONE KNOW? I am a soup and salad addict:p and I would avoid booking a dining package just to eat soup in the MDR.. crazy right. :eek: I must be fair to my DH so I am asking in advance.

gambee Posted August 21, 2012 #220 Share Posted August 21, 2012 I thought Rita fiesta was $10 non alcohol and $20 alcohol. They seem to be raising all the prices. Also prohibition party wasent supposed to be 30? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I viewed the new menu it had Tuesday listed as Jasmine menu but according to other posts this is Italian night on the Eastern itin. and so I thought it should be the Pimiento menu, which is a night I would not want to miss.

Nightfly Posted August 21, 2012 #222 Share Posted August 21, 2012 I have been compiling my Allure list for a little while now.. These are from different boards and my own notes. It is from others experiences that I can make this list. Copy this list and add your own if you like, keep the list growing. Take a highlighter to mark the Compass Sail away show at Aqua Theater around 5:15pm Bring water shoes for labadee. And rash guard shirt for flowrider. Ocean Aria at Aqua Theater, Blue Planet main theater, Chicago, Comedy Show (book online) Bring a sweater/jacket to the Amber Theater if you go to see Chicago. It gets cold. Aquatheater show can cancel if the seas are rough. See it early in case they cancel Ice cream machines; one in wipeout cafe, other between the two forward pools (free) deck 15 Sorrento's pizza – get a custom made one, put in box, take to the park! Boardwalk Dogs; (free and nice selection) Pinnacle Lounge: deck 16 (nice view for picture taking) Shuffle Board courts are located behind Aquatheater Scavenger hunt book – live on the allure – buy at rising tides bar They do have nice custom salads at Park cafe Johnny Rockets has a fresh (free) breakfast each morning. Scrapbooking gave some free embellishments specific to the cruise ship Vintages Wine Bar great place to use those buy one get one free coupons. Restaurants that are included: Winjammer Solarium Bistro free for breakfast and lunch, turns to Samba Grill for dinner (pay) Wipe Out Cafe Park Cafe (not to be confused with 150 Central Park) Dog House Johnny Rockets (breakfast only) Donut Shop Sorrento's Pizza Promenade Café Skip dessert in the Main Dining Room and head up to the Windjammer to make ice cream sundaes. The jazz club is no smoking! If you do the on board zipline, keep your feet up for the landing. Will hurt self if not. Check out the wedding chapel, it is peaceful and the view is incredible. Go behind the FlowRiders. lounge chairs and free telescopes Go onboard by 11:00 am If you do the Flowrider...bring a rashguard or tee or tank Schooner Bar for casual drinks and watch Dreamworks Parade from here Booth on the Royal Promenade where you can send a FREE video postcard Picture place is on Deck 6 - Welcome aboard picture is used for facial recognition for all other photos. Balcony at the end of deck 11,12,14 that overlooks the aft of the ship and the Aqua Theatre. The ships have no deck 13. http://cruisingator.smugmug.com/ good pictures Cooking Classes: http://www.royalcaribbean.com/conten...scriptions.pdf Lobster is second formal night, Friday HEADLINER ENTERTAINMENT - send an email to RCI at web_reservations@rccl.com for lineup 4 weeks out 70 s disco street party is day 6 Cozumel at 10pm The Central Park area to relax and spend time.

Dragons Breath zip line and roller coaster. Afternoon of snorkeling! shops are agressive, smile and know they are trying to feed their family. Say no thank you if you do not want to buy. For Cozumel, look into Nachi Cocom (quite, all inclusive, 100 people per day) and Paradise Beach Cozumel (family fun, pay per item, lots of water activities.) Airbrush tattoos - don't wait til the last day of the cruise to go. If you get a tattoo early in the week, you can go back on the last day and get it retouched for free Sign your waivers online ahead of time so you can go right to the Zip Line when it opens on embarkation day and get a ton of rides in before it gets busy. Same with rock wall. Before your go, take a picture of your luggage inside and out. This will make them easier to identify your belongings if they are lost. split stuff up between the suit cases - some of mine in wifes, some of hers in mine. If lose one suitcase, we both have cloths. All formal stuff together. http://www.insuremytrip.com/ Always fly the day before a cruise. leave nothing to Murphy. Bring my own "pillow chocolates" and M&M’s. Surprise DW nightly! If you like potato chips, you can get them in the Park Cafe.

However for the second formal night I read that it's Friday night. On another thread I read that its Thursday night (could be an old thread?) Usually the second formal night is the lobster night, or Fisherman's plate...right? With the new menu the Fisherman's plate is on Thursday night. So now I'm confused. Is the second formal night Friday with the surf and turf? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
