LuCruise Posted November 27, 2015 #152 Share Posted November 27, 2015 Thank you again for posting the cruise compasses. These are so helpful in planning our cruise. Sorry to hear it's overly crowded this week. Guess with it being American Thanksgiving, people are extending the holiday and taking the week off. Hope you're still able to enjoy. One thing you haven't mentioned...just curious what you did in St Thomas and St Maarten (if you don't mind sharing). Those are two of our stops too and am interested in hearing how others spend the day...and esp when you have kids Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WillandStacey Posted November 27, 2015 Author #155 Share Posted November 27, 2015 Today was just awesome we were in port at St Martten enjoyed some port shopping mom stayed onboard she prefers the cafe and just relaxing vs navigating the scooter thru crowds. Our 7 yr old stayed in adventure ocean until dinner then went right back as day 5 today was pirate day! We made it to the prominade to watch them March thru it was quick but they loved it ;) Had a great dinner mom hit the casino since it was closed while in port, our teen is in bed just texting, Stacey and I may hit the casino visit mom play a bit more or catch some music at one of he many venues. Great day though first trip away from home on thanksgiving so it felt odd but festive ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillandKateC Posted November 27, 2015 #156 Share Posted November 27, 2015 How long were the shows. We realize Mamma Mia is very long at 2 1/2 hours, but we were interested in how long the Ocean Aria show, the Ice shows: and the Comedy shows are. Is it possible to go to the 7:30 shows and make a 8:30 dining time? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will be sailing on the Allure for the third time in January, and I had many questions about the changes/updates since I was last on. Thanks to your posts, I now feel like I am fully up to speed! The Cruise Planners, and MDR menus were so helpful...thanks for taking the time to upload!! Enjoy your last night on board!! Cheers!! Airbus_Guy!

Emdee Posted November 30, 2015 #162 Share Posted November 30, 2015 Thanks so much for your review. Really helpful. Quick question regarding b2b lunch at Giovanni's. Was it the full menu or a set menu.? We usually go to a specialty restaurant the first night but don't think I can handle two big meals. Thanks.

RCmommy Posted December 1, 2015 #163 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Which is great by the way - hubby seems to have lost his sense of direction more than once and I'm texting him directions of where to meet me, LOL. What are you using to text back and forth between the two devices that is free? Skype? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruisin' Again 86 Posted December 1, 2015 #164 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Great review / daily update ( s ) cruising on Allure in 2 weeks and cannot wait, by far our favorite ship in the fleet. Thanks Again For The Great Post !!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nonchalantyours Posted December 2, 2015 #165 Share Posted December 2, 2015 Thanks again for providing your b2b cruise information and your insights on traveling pre- and during Thanksgiving. We were on the Thanksgiving leg with you and I totally agree with you with many points (loud dining room, crowded pools and chairs at the Solarium, 50+ kids in Adventure Ocean). That said, we did enjoy the cruise and the great service from MDR and our room attendant. I also tried to Periscope from the Solarium one early morning when I couldn't sleep so that was kinda fun... though my live audience was pretty minimal. LOL. Thanks again Will!

MaggieMay1931 Posted December 2, 2015 #166 Share Posted December 2, 2015 I was also wondering what you did while at St. Maarten? My husband can't walk very fast or long, but I want to see the Airplanes fly over!!!! Did you go to the casino while in St. Maarten? This will be our first time on the Allure. You said your daughter was texting, did you buy the wifi package? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelleum Posted December 8, 2015 #167 Share Posted December 8, 2015 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. Will I was on the same sailing as you and your family. They didn't have any creamer for the coffee in the MDR. They kept bringing us milk, at one point they went somewhere else and brought us some creamer in the little plastic containers. I think they probably went to cafe promenade to get some creamer. We found that weird to start off the cruise without enough creamer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisecraze96 Posted January 5, 2016 #168 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Thank you for posting, we are going on our first RCCL on the Allure in March on the Western route and this helps to give an idea on what to expect. DD 6 loves the camps on Carnival so it is good to know she will have a great time here too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
