Allureaddict Posted May 30, 2011 Author #3 Share Posted May 30, 2011 *I have no clue how to do the handy attachments, So i will just go with it and see and how it looks. The night before the cruise we stayed at the Embassy Suites. I recommend this hotel for anyone crusing. The free happy hour and breakfast by themselves were worth the price. At the time we checked in, the hotel offered us fifty bucks to go someplace else, as they were overbooked. We did not take the money, Im guessing it was overbooked because there was a wedding going on. From our room in the embassy we could see the ships! The oasis was much larger than I expected her to be. The allure was even better! Check in was a breeze. They have it set up by deck, which makes it alot easier. We got stuck with the meanest lady on earth. She did not smile at all, not even once. I wish I got a picture of her! ALOT more pictures coming. Im testing this thing out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
will773 Posted May 30, 2011 #4 Share Posted May 30, 2011 Glad to hear about the Embassy Suites. We've requested a room that is up high and faces the port, so we'll see what we get. I'll be there in three more weeks! Can't wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allureaddict Posted May 30, 2011 Author #7 Share Posted May 30, 2011 As we got onto the ship we stepped into the Royal Promenade. I have quite a few funny stories about this place. During formal nights the women would walk around in these 5 inch heels and looked like they were about to stumble over. It was quite the fashion show I must say. I saw alot of pageant gowns. Also some individuals seem to have forgotten how to walk in a straight line. Drunk? I dont know. I had a collision with this female because she wasnt looking where she was going and was walking in a diagonal way. We bumped pretty hard. Anyway as soon as we got settled into our room (pictures of that coming soon) we went straight to cafe promenade Dont get me started on the elevators. That was my only complaint. People squish into the elevator knowing full well that it is full, they simply dont care. Parents let their children press all kinds of buttons. Parents also let their children run around like a chicken with its head cut off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We also went straight to the Park Cafe after boarding. I am planning to do a mini-review of what I think are the must dos. will enjoy your pics since I am too techno challenged to upload pictures.

kendevjay Posted May 31, 2011 #23 Share Posted May 31, 2011 First-time cruise on the Allure. Nice. Of course its going to be real hard to sail on a smaller ship after this. :D My family and I will be staying at the Embassy Suites in August before boarding the Allure. Glad too hear you liked it.
