Allure of the Seas B2B Nov 15-29th, Periscope, Snaps, Compass, Q&A, just having fun

[spazzyjanet]

Unfortunately, this is a one-off itinerary.

 

Instead of Sea-Labadee-Falmouth-Sea-Cozumel-Sea, this Western Itinerary does Nassau-Sea-Falmouth-Sea-Cozumel-Sea.

 

So Compasses up until Falmouth will be different.

Thank you so much for posting all this information so quickly!

 

I'm particularly glad to see the teen activities sheet.

 

Have a great time! I'm following along avidly.

That's why....I was confused to see Nassau on Day 2 as I thought that was only part of Eastern.

Is this a permanent change to the Western Carib. line-up? I think we already booked things in Labadee for the Nov. 29th cruise. Do we need to change that?

I love these posts !!! We will be on there next week with you ! What did you guys do while you were in Nassau? This thread is getting me so excited for our trip next week!!

[WillandStacey]

I got up early got a donut had main dining breakfast with Stacey, little one went to adventure ocean as usual mom and older daughter slept in. The weather is cloudy with some rainy spots we generally just enjoy the ship but I do plan to get off in Mexico.

 

Mom is extremely tired still having trouble with the cart especially with the crowded halls and elevators I've driven it a few times for her to park and whatnot MOST people are very considerate helpful and understanding we ran into a few not so nice but we just try to move on shake it off and keep the smiles going.

 

Met some great folks at breakfast newlyweds from Ireland and a few others, last night we periscoped a bit from the Jazz on 4 room tonight we will play it by ear in a standby line or two for comedy or a show no rush we still have next week too ;)

 

One very minor thing that bummed me is every bar we go to there are no banana daiquiris! I don't care for strawberry or peach but they all say sorry no banana that's my favorite banana virgin drinks and it appears they do not have any banana I hope it's a fluke but I was bummed.

Funny this week adventure ocean has very little enrollment today there were 4 kids and they mixed groups but next week they already have over 1000 kids scheduled!

 

My 7 year old loves the idea of more kids ;). I went to get her for lunch and she begged to stay they take them down to the windjammer for pizza and nuggets.

[spazzyjanet]

To answer the question of the poster who asked, you are still going to Labadee on your cruise. This week is the only Western slated for Nassau instead of Haiti for reasons unknown. It just returned from Europe so it could be port scheduling issues for this week or something else.

Okay. Thanks!

I hope your Mom gets stronger and healthier every day!

Wow! From 4 kids to 1000 kids next week! :eek:

 

That means for those of us who are on next week's leg should probably reserve those cupcake decorating classes and other activities ahead of time!

 

Thanks for updating us!

[WillandStacey]

Just went to check on Julia (age 7) in adventure ocean, she ran up stuck her hand out saying STOP and said "Dad please leave!" And ran away saying "I don't want to eat with you guys.

 

This is one of the reasons we enjoy the RCI / Allure so much, mom didn't do much today hit Central Park for a bit just relaxed by the schooner bar area, adjusted our dinner times (switched from open to an assigned time), adjusted my moms status she's emerald now I think we are 9 more nights away so eventually we will get up there ;)

 

Stacey and I just relaxed with mom got some of those things adjusted tended to, back at sea now the day outside was somewhat cloudy with some rain and wind.

 

Tonight we are going to try the standby line for comedy show no real rush but everything seems fully booked so we will just try standby and go with the flow of that doesn't happen go find some music to listen to, mom swears the casino pays out better the first few days so she wants to go down tonight.

 

Everyone's asleep except me and Julia in A.O. Even the teenager is out!

 

I have the Internet package for two devices I have done everything I can figure out to sign out and sign in with the iPad but no luck I'll call 1950 tech line if I haven't got it later on no biggie the phones work so that's cool could be a temp glitch too.

Allure teen activity info sheethttps://www.dropbox.com/s/pbk4tepoekj08ib/allure%20teen%20compass.pdf?dl=0

 

Thank you so very much for posting this Teen Schedule. We are cruising the Allure on May 1, to celebrate my son's 13th Bday. We will be cruising with a friend who also has a 12 y/o son. The boys are going to be so excited when they see they finally will be a part of the "teen" club.

 

We've done many NCL cruises and they don't change groups until the kids turn 13 and the boys have pretty much grown out of the age group, especially when we sail at non prime times (Advantages of homeschooling)

 

We are so happy to see this schedule. Both our boys are very experienced cruisers, so will absolutely love these activities

[Tiggercat]

I would love to see pictures of your grand suite. My husband and I will be celebrating our 30th anniversary in one on Oasis. Any chance you can post menus from Coastal Kitchen? Enjoying this review and look forward to yours!

[StuLaurie]

Hi Will,

 

Thank you so much for all of this great info. We will be sailing the Eastern Itinerary in February and are looking forward to seeing the Compass for the Eastern leg of your trip.

 

A couple of request if you have time, could you post a picture of the Room Service Menu and also any info on this new 40% off Dining Package if it is offered on your cruise.

 

Thanks and have a great trip!!!

Oh, no! That is a bummer! For purely selfish reasons, I hope that's a fluke! The highlight of our last cruise for my husband and son was the virgin banana daiquiris.

 

I hope someone is hiding some banana daiquiri mix somewhere and you will miraculously discover it shortly.

 

Cheers,

Amy

Page one is repeated (accident) but you get the full compass for anyone interested in seeing it ;). Woke early to rain and clouds today we are at sea a full day of activities onboard had a wonderful breakfast in the main dining room ;)

 

I don't really shop for stuff like jewelry etc but I wonder if any ports have an Apple Store!?! Lol

Thanks! If you ate breakfast in the dining room did you catch any of the Dreamworks experience? If so, did you catch whether the characters were from Madagascar, Shrek or Kung Fu Panda?

I identified Zuba, Shrek and Puss and Boots (back of their heads, they were obstructed by dividers) but there were probably more they were on the opposite side of main dining room at the entrance they asked us if we wanted quiet or loud music breakfast we chose quiet although we heard it very well (no worries they were having a blast so seeing them have so much fun made us smile!). Lots of giggles and smiling faces I'd guess those parents were very happy judging by the kids reactions I'd just recommend ear plugs lol :)

[spazzyjanet]

Awesome, thanks! It looked like last year they did Shrek characters on the first sea day, so that's what we booked, and it looks like that hasn't changed. Of course your itinerary is slightly different than ours, but I would imagine that they would stay consistent with the order of the 3 lineups regardless of whether the first sea day/breakfast is day 2 or 3.

[WillandStacey]

Here is today's compass day 4 allure

Thank you! If you are able to get the kids compass, can you confirm if this is the night they do the pirate parade in the 6-8 group? If so, it's a shame that it is at the same time as the how to train your dragon ice show (as both are family activities appealing to that age group).

[getmeouttathecold]

For geeks like me Voom info seems solid at around 11 Mb, we did the two devices package and there was an automatic coupon upon signing up we paid $134 for the week

Thanks for posting all of this! I have been waiting to see these. What was the coupon for?

RCCL no longer carries the Bananna daq mix ( was my favorite)

my last four sailings have not had it all on different ships. they all told me it has been discontinued
