When we got to the beach we grabbed 3 lounge chairs. A worker came up and told us they were $8 each. We gave him $20 and said its raining give us a deal. He said he would talk to his boss. We just went in the water. He came back a few min later and said he needed the other $4. We said its raining and we probably wouldn't sit on them anyway and told him he wouldn't get anymore money. He eventually just left.

This is the route we walked to the beach. Took about 10 minutes

The rain was coming down so hard at one point we couldn't see the ships anymore.

She's ready to go

Balcony decorations - Thanks Peace!

DAY 2 - NASSAU

Dinner Dress Suggestion: Formal

Dinner Theme: Saffron

Drink of the Day: Tradewinds Cooler

Today we were in Nassau. When we arrived, before 7am, the weather looked decent. That didn't last too long when we got off the ship around 9am it was raining a little and then poured. Because we weren't in port for very long (all on board by 1:15pm) and it was supposed to rain, just a couple of us went to Junkanoo Beach which is about a 10 min walk from the port. While in the water the rain poured down on us. Our stuff on the beach was pretty soaked but we didn't mind all that much. A day on a cruise/on a beach is always better than a day at work.

Not at all, this was the passengers ages on the Nov 9th sailing.

I assumed you grabbed that photo during your all access tour? How was that? I want to take it but can justify the $150

Nate - thank you so much for all the wonderful photos - this has been a fantastic read so far.

 

My deepest condolences for your loss - hope your family was able to share many memories during your Nov. 9th sailing.

 

We sailed on the Regal on the 9th in that same nasty weather - umbrellas were definitely a must-have item! Our ships crossed paths a few times during the week and it was a beautiful sight on Saturday night seeing the lights of the Allure as you sailed back to Ft. Lauderdale. And I think Oasis passed us going south!

 

We are considering a TA on Allure/Oasis, but are in our mid to late 60s - will we be among the few old farts aboard?

 

Hope you had a memorable sailing on the 9th and thanks again. Kay

Thank you Kay! We both had some pretty crappy weather those first couple days. The regal looked really nice out there the last night coming home to Port Everglades.

The 3 times I've been on Oasis Class ships I've seen a big mix in age groups from the young couples to grandparents. I don't think you'll feel out of place. I'm assuming there are many kids on TA sailings.

The couples room with no camera where you put muds and scrubs on each other is called Razul. Rick and I did this on the Voyager and Explorer!!

Ya, that's probably the name of it :rolleyes:. I won't ask any follow up questions to what else went on in the room with no cameras...

Can't wait til I can one day go on Allure! Great review, thanks!

When you do you're going to love it.

Great pictures and review! I will be on the Allure in 25 days!!!

Thank you! I hope to have my review done by the time you board

We brought a Canada flag to wave to the webcam but my friends who watched us sail out didn't see us

Coral Princess

Carnival Freedom

It's pretty cool watching a big cruise ship move sideways

At 4:30 we needed to go to Studio B for the Muster Drill

It was then up to the top deck to watch sail away in the rain. I stopped off in Central Park to pick up an umbrella but it looked like other people had the same idea as me.

Regal Princess

HAL Eurodam

Jacuzzi spa suite. She kept mentioning there are no cameras in this room 'wink wink'

Another couples room with no cameras. I forget the name of this room but you rub oils and salts on each then shower together
