It looks like it was taken around Christmas and there were lots of dead plants and trees. Our cruise isn’t until August so I’m sure they’ll be replaced by then! Can’t wait!

GJustice Posted May 16, 2023 #8 Share Posted May 16, 2023 We were on last week and Central Park was really depressing with mostly "empty" plant beds and some dead plants still. They've replaced some of the greenery, but still mostly missing. HOPEFULLY, they'll be able to get it back in shape soon. You didn't ask, but you'll also disembark from deck 5 when you return 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your welcome , but i wasnt the poster that posted the cruise , that was @taglovestocruise. They did the good deed. There are multiple youtube videos you can watch regarding the Allure. I was on it September 2022 and it was in good shape .Dont know what happened to the plants after that. Oasis is our favorite class , Enjoy the cruise !

llachance Posted May 16, 2023 #11 Share Posted May 16, 2023 Central Park trees were not meant to survive ice/winter storms. We had a slew of bad weather when they docked earlier this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the big trees won't be replaced until the Allure leaves Galveston for Florida. Those trees need to be lifted over the top of the ship using a big crane - probably with a 250 foot boom (maybe higher). To try to do something like that during a standard turnaround day is virtually impossible, not to mention very risky from a safety perspective. It takes too long per tree and the safety hazards of 6000 passengers getting off, another 6000 getting on, and all of the staff trying to get things done that day are very high. In addition the cost of the crane would be much less if you only have to rig and derig it once. I'm sure someone has it worked out by now. They just haven't let us know.

While a number of people have reported that the trees probably won't be replaced until it moves to Florida, I think it's primarily due more to time than equipment. When asked what this is (the thing that looks kind of like a SAM system), we were told it was a crane, and lifting the trees in & out was specifically mentioned. But I agree. Even if those are the cranes that they will use, it would impossible to do it during turnaround day for safety reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at sailings available to book, the first cruise from FL is from Miami around the 3rd week of October 2023 After that she will be in PC until summer 2024 when she moves to Ft Lauderdale.
