With Rick & Anna celebrating their 30th anniversary, Matt got all the couples up to dance while he sang "Wonderful Tonight"

 

Gary found a dance partner. Katie's husband had gone to sleep early

 

Anna found a partner for a different activity

 

 

 

Everybody loves GMAN. This kid ran up to Gary, hugged him and yelled "I love GMAN!!!"

I'm sure everyone reading this can imagine the fun this group had together. Cupcrazy review has been awesome as always, and makes us feel like we're re-living it again. I just wanted to throw this out here.

We have a another reunion tour scheduled on Indy 10/04/15 if anyone is up for the audition to travel with this crazy group, now is your chance. Hope to see you there.

If you read my review last year on Oasis, you'll remember I talked about finding a hidden gnome in Central Park.

Well, now there is a gnome in Central Park on Allure too. We call it the G-NOME. Get it..? G-MAN, G-NOME? Ok, not too funny, but you catch my drift.

I can't say where the gnome is because, where's the fun in that? Your mission, if you choose to accept it, is to go find him.

I see something shiny!!!

 

There he is!

 

THE LEGEND OF GMAN!!!

I'm so glad we found him after searching all week!!

It was now 2am and most people would think it's time to go to sleep. Not us! It was the last night on the ship and we wanted to make the most of it. So, where do you go when all the clubs and activities have shut down for the night? That's easy.... Cafe Promenade for our last round of ham & cheese croissants.

Ahhh the famous alcohol sponges before bed.

Café Promenade was confusing because some things are free, while some things are not. Relax but be wary.

Thank You for a wonderful review. It was fun to read. We'll be on the Great Lady in January. Thanks for helping to build the excitement.

I agree with you. My first trip it took me a while to go to Cafe Promenade as I wasn't sure what was free and what costs. The best way is just go and check it out. There's no harm in looking and like 'they' say, there are no dumb questions.

Thanks for reading along! You're going to have a great time on Allure and before you know it January will be here.

Thanks for posting a great review. Love all your pics and reading about your vacations had some good laughs reading this.:)

GMAN looks like the life of any party. Which ship did you like better Allure or Oasis?

I did find the the gnome on Oasis last November and it took a bit of searching even with your hints. We have been on Oasis a few times since then and the gnome has been given a bit more respect and is not as hidden as before. The plants have been trimmed around him but you still have to look, as he is hidden.

 

We are on Allure for a B2B next March so I will have to look for G-NOME then. Your hint sounds like I have an idea where he is. Is G-NOME hidden as far in as Gary on Oasis?

 

Thanks again for this great review. It looks like you all had another wonderful cruise.

In March if I am having a hard time finding G-NOME I might start a thread looking for clues. Either that, or I will find the gardener and get some hints.:D

Thanks for following along. The 2 ships are so similar that I am not sure I can really pick which one I like better. I am back on Allure this Sunday and will be continuing my review when I get home.

Hey Andrew,

First let me say thank you for reading my review again. I remember that you found the gnome after my last review. This gnome is pretty much in the same place it was when we found the last one. I'm not sure any staff on board knows where G-NOME is hidden. When I'm back on Allure this week I am going to make sure G-NOME is still in the same place.

[Cupcrazy]

We woke up Sunday morning to the worst looking port we've seen since leaving Ft. Lauderdale. Ugh! We were back at Port everglades. Such a sad sight to see as the cruise was over.

We had a little issue with debarkation. Michelle & I were given luggage tag 49 (10:30 debark) while everyone else in our group was given tag 12 (8:30 debark time). Our friends gave us their extra tags and we used those on our luggage. When we got off the ship and into the terminal our luggage could not be found. After looking through all the pieces of luggage in section 12 we went to the lost luggage area. Mine was sitting there without the 12 tag and a piece of masking tape on it saying 'NN' (No Number). Michelle's was not there though. We were told to check in our original section 49 but that section was not open yet. When it finally opened about 15 minutes later Michelle went over and behold, there was her suitcase without the 12 tag and a piece of masking tape with '49' written on it. I am not totally sure why this happened but I know we didn't tell guest services that we were changing.

TIP: If you're changing luggage tag numbers make sure to go to guest services and tell them so they can update their list.
