Thelongos Posted June 25, 2016 #1 Share Posted June 25, 2016 Hi all, We will be heading to S. Florida in less than a week! We plan to be live streaming on the Allure via the Periscope app while also attempting to answer any questions you may have here regarding the ship. It's an Eastern itinerary: Nassau, St. Thomas, St. Kitts. This is our first time on Allure although we have been on Oasis a few times. We have no children with us on this cruise so we "should" have some extra time?? Thank you grandparents!! We plan to get about 3 days without them before we start missing them lol. Please post any requests you want pics or video of. We will have to visit Sabor and Coastal Kitchen with all of these amazing reviews. VOOM is new to us. We've always treasured cruises for being disconnected from the business world's emails or calls. We're going to attempt to combat that with turning off WiFi calling, setting it to airplane mode and I'm going to move my email app off my phone's screen as it can be a habit to click! However, this should allow us to Skype with the kids, at sea, which will be cool! My Periscope Id is: LennyInFlorida Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
packercruising Posted June 26, 2016 #2 Share Posted June 26, 2016 Following you Lenny. Do you suppose they will have fireworks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thelongos Posted June 26, 2016 Author #4 Share Posted June 26, 2016 Following you Lenny. Do you suppose they will have fireworks? Wow, I hope so but I am honestly unsure due to it not being a holiday that a lot of the non-Americans on the ship would celebrate. Also, now that I think about it... Since it's a fire hazard I doubt it even more haha! The most I can hope for is an American themed desert coupled with cruising past some Caribbean islands with Americans celebrating with fireworks.

packercruising Posted June 26, 2016 #6 Share Posted June 26, 2016 Is July 4 a sea day, or Nassau? Maybe they will show some fireworks on the Aqua Theater screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mysschevous Posted June 26, 2016 #7 Share Posted June 26, 2016 They did fireworks from the Breakaway when we were on board. So it isn't impossible. :) And Disney does it all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have been on Oasis Class ships two times on the 4th of July. There are no fireworks but they do decorate the RP with red, white and blue balloons, they have cake and did a "party" as well in the RP. I will be tagging along here as well as on periscope. Have a great time. Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pharaoh Posted June 26, 2016 #14 Share Posted June 26, 2016 Yay Lenny! Glad your sail date is finally approaching soon. You'll have to tell us what they do for the holiday. I'm also interested in the itinerary. A few cool new itineraries for Allure lately. I'll be checking in here and on Periscope. I know you'll both have a wonderful time. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare BillOh Posted June 27, 2016 #21 Share Posted June 27, 2016 Please post any requests you want pics or video of. My Periscope Id is: LennyInFlorida On Allure in 2011 and 2013, what was called "Captain's Corner" was held in the Aquatheater and it actually had the Captain, Hotel Director, and Engineering person, and the CD. I'm told on rainy days it was moved to the main theater, but I had nice weather both times. Anyway, On Oasis The Captain's corner was held in the Comedy studio and was only the Captain. The venue was way to small for all that wanted to attend and was a bit of a disappointment compared to previous Allure events. I'll be curious to see if its changed on Oasis. It usually in one of the last 2 sea days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thelongos Posted June 27, 2016 Author #23 Share Posted June 27, 2016 Is July 4 a sea day, or Nassau? Maybe they will show some fireworks on the Aqua Theater screen. Hi Packer, yes, Nassau, Bahamas 7:00 AM-2:00 PM. I anticipate we will be pretty far from Nassau by the time the sun sets at around 8:30 PM... It will be neat if I see them off of some other islands though. I'll definitely try to scope that if it's available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
