SeaBaby Posted February 9, 2015 #2 Share Posted February 9, 2015 When we boarded, we were informed that we would arrive an hour late in St. Thomas, that is at 11 am instead of 10. In fact we arrived shortly after 10 am. As for vibration, we never felt any movement other than on the second to last night when we felt some rocking and rolling, which the captain later said was due to a weather system and 9 to 12 foot sea swells. A little movement during the last day as well, but again it seemed more weather related, and we had 45 mph winds across the deck. We have certainly experienced more movement on other ships. The ship's speed on Saturday was 18.6 knots according to the info shown on the tv. Top speed is something like 22 knots for Allure normally. Hope this helps.

perkli25 Posted February 9, 2015 #4 Share Posted February 9, 2015 The allure had some issues about a year or so ago. Fixed one of the stabilizer pods and I believe she has been good to go. We sailed her in May 2014 and no issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
