“LIVE” from the Allure of the Seas - 2/25

[niksmom630]

Central Park is one of my favorite spots on Oasis class ships....even when there is a lot of activity on sea days, it just has a peaceful vibe

This is such a great review! I'm loving all your posts. Thank you!

Not sailing her until Oct. 28th and I can't wait!

Your pictures are so beautiful! We booked this for next year, so excited. Freedom is largest ship weve been on. Hope your foot doesnt hurt too much. Thank you for so much info!

OMG, you have such a wonderful “eye” when taking pictures. Some of the angles are awesome.

 

Speaking of the Rising Tide were you able to see if Virgil was still on the ship?

Your review and photos are getting me excited for my upcoming cruise in May. We are in a grand suite too for the first time. Did you make all your reservations for coastal kitchen and other restaurants online or did you do it when you got on board?

By any chance did you happen to see prices for Kate Spade or Michael Kors? I too was wondering if the sales were comparable to any outlet stores!

 

Thanks and can't wait for my Thanksgiving Allure sailing :D

Always enjoy your reviews. Thanks for taking us along.

 

Now...if we can just get people to stop copying entire posts with pictures. A common issue here on CC. :rolleyes: :)

 

Love Coastal Kitchen - such a great perk for Oasis class suites. Wish they would add them to Freedom class!

Yes and yes. When I reply to a post I cut out the extra and keep the meat of what I need. Now as for meat, I agree Costal Kitchen would be a nice addition to the Freedom Class.

[A&L_Ont]

I wondered if anyone would catch that....[emoji12]

 

I think he caught something. :');p

[FloridaPalms]

Such beautiful pictures! Thanks for sharing.

 

I loved the Allure when I first sailed her last May. Your review is making me even more excited that I get to sail on her again come October 28th. Can’t wait!

Mrs. Wolf! I was hoping you’d pop in so I’d have a shoulder to cry on about my lack of success at the three card poker table! [emoji31] with the table minimums at $10, I’m blowing thru my nightly budget in about 5 hands playing all the spots. I know The minimums on Harmony we’re $10, but I thought that was ship specific. Any idea if this is a fleet wide change?

 

And agree about Oasis class.... the suite benefits, including C.C. are a stand out. We were originally booked on Freedom, but switched over to Allure for just that reason.

The sale at Kate Spade was 30% off.... at Christmas our outlets were running 50-60% off, and Michael Kors was as high as 70%..... so, I think not.... [emoji53]

I tried to make reservations online but couldn’t get the times I wanted. I think they hold back a lot to allow for bookings on board, because they are pushing the dining packages like crazy on the ship.

 

The concierge will email you the week before, and she was able to secure all the reservations for me st the times I needed- including coastal kitchen. I also made an additional reservation there once onboard.

Wow, that filet really does look bad. So sorry that you paid extra for that (even if a bogo) . Guess you confirmed my plan not to eat at Chops while on board.

Really enjoying following you this week! Thanks again and keep up the great work! Enjoy the rest of your cruise!

[CruiserTK]

I agree about your having a "wonderful eye" for selecting what to photograph. I need another cruise on an Oasis-class ship!

 

Thank you for taking time out of your vacation to let us sail with you.

niksmom- Oh no! I feel your pain. Last cruise the 3 card table was either empty or completely full. So I played UTH - that's kind of replaced it in our house. More strategy - bigger bank. :eek: I think they play with the minimums based on players. Same cruise, it started as $10 and about 3 days in, changed to $5 because the tables were so empty.

 

Andrew, I'm ready to follow along!! Have you dried out from the 4 Headed monster cruise? ;)

Wow, I haven't ever been so lucky on any of the O class ships lately. I have never seen them back off the $10 minimum except for the early afternoon specials. Allure in April. I will hope for some good luck then !

[niksmom630]

So is this an Oasis class thing? I swear the minimums were still $5 on Nav last February.....

 

And yes, I think there was an afternoon special one or two days, but that was it.....

Yes I have. However, we did have a bit of dry land training during a week at a resort in Playa Del Carman. Chris is getting me amped up for Harmony, a week Saturday.:hearteyes:

No boot today? How is your foot doing?

Thanks for the feedback:)

 

Hope your foot feels better! Does it feel better when you wear your boot? I remember having to wear one several years ago and I just loved my boot because then I could walk without pain. After a few months, I was all better and had to say goodbye to it:)

 

Happy cruising:cool:

Is the Flip Flop Workshop new? I don't recall this from our Allure cruise, but it's been a few years. This would be a must have souvenir for my wife and daughters.
