Rare A&L_Ont Posted May 16, 2015 Author #151 Share Posted May 16, 2015 Oh I'm onboard on Tuesday if anyone has any questions. I already have one. Since it sounds like you are going on-line, would you be kind enough to report back if the wifi is working quickly or more like dial up. Thanks, Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are very familiar with Allure from Carribean sailings but things will be different in the Med. I can't wait to get back onboard. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Single Cruiser Posted May 16, 2015 #155 Share Posted May 16, 2015 (edited) After the azipod repair they might be doing some sea trials. Yep. Watching her on marine tracker she's been doing lots of loops and double backs and now is doing a speed run. Currently 22.3 knots!

I hope you like Allure. We already have Harmony booked for her first full Caribbean sailing. In theory you'd be bringing Harmony to us. :D As for Allure, I hope they have dry dock finished up for you, so you have the full and positive experience. The main thing is if you want to try things on the ship such as zip line, flowrider, rock wall, ice skating etc... Try to do it ASAP as the further in your sailing usually the longer the lines are. Park Cafe is amazing, the Dog House is a fast snack and if Sabor is open it should be delicious. The monitors around the ship will help you in knowing the wait times for meals at dining restaurants. Have a blast. Edited May 16, 2015 by A&L_Ont Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare A&L_Ont Posted May 16, 2015 Author #164 Share Posted May 16, 2015 You never know, one or both of the ships might have a bit of spare time, and if there is an early sunrise....;) However, last year when Allure went in for its azipod drydock repair it left drydock on Friday night. It could have met up with Oasis for a photo opportunity early Saturday morning, as it was returning from an Eastern sailing. However, Allure continued south at full speed down the coast of Florida towards Labadee. I tell you the people on this forum could do a great job running RC.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
