Day 2 Nassau Continued...we decided

to take a taxi to Atlantis Hotel

since our time in Nassau was

going to be so short...

Day 2 Nassau Continued:

 

 

 

Ms. Allure was Docked by 7 am, we got off about

9:30 and All Aboard was 1:30 pm so we really

didn't have much time...9 of us in the

group took a Van Taxi to Atlantis

it was $4 each way per person...

you don't have to walk far to get a taxi...

 

 

 

ride to Atlantis was very scenic

 

 

 

 

 

Circular Drive way outside of Atlantis

 

 

 

 

 

 

We just walked around Atlantis and took some pics...

to go the Pool and Aquarium that you hear

so much about was a lot of $$'s so we declined..

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

shopping area next to Atlantis Hotel

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Replica of the Atlantis Property

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

we asked the driver to meet us to take us

back to the ship and he was

there at the designated time no problem...

 

 

 

Back in Town we walked thru some of the

gift shops and went to the grocery store

to get a few items, it was really, really hot

that day and I wasn't feeling well

so we didn't make it to the Straw Market...

 

 

 

Me and the Sisters went back to the ship...

we ordered some room service

(no chicken fingers on the menu any more)...

I kind of cooled out for a while...

I think they may have had their

Flash Mob rehearsal that day...

Some nights you will arrive

at your cabin and there will be a surprise

waiting on you from your Cabin

Steward - Towel Animals...

 

The towel animals are like a mystery...you don't know how

it's done and you shouldn't ask...;)

 

some of them are amazing...A couple of the

ones we received we didn't know what they

were :rolleyes:.....but our cabin steward tried...

 

here's one from her and a couple other ones I found

 

 



 

 

 

Oops! Forgot to add these pictures:

 

Our towel animal tonight

 

Thanks Will77



 

 

Thanks ff411

Here's another really great picture of the wine selection area outside of the MDR...Thx nenner1

 

The MDR on Allure at each deck has a large comfortably furnished waiting area, complete with these by-the-glass wine dispensers. (They are on each deck). Just swipe your Sea Pass card! Ingenious!

Day 2 Evening - First Formal Night

For all those wondering the first formal

night is not Lobster night but it is

the Captains Ball night...



I had the Salmon and it was delish..









that night after dinner we went to the

Royal Promenade for the Captain's Ball...

Free Champagne...the Band is playing

nice music and the Captain introduces

his staff...you also get to take a pic

with him...on Allure this particular

Captain chose to stand near the Car

on the Promenade Deck...





here is the Captain Introducing his Staff













me and one of my sisters

dressed to impress :p

[ILuvCruisin']

Day 2 evening's show was Oceanaria

 

 

This show is Awesome...the show is of course held in the Aqua Theatre...We thought we were early when we arrived about 8:30p for the 9:00p show but it turns out that a lot of folks arrived way before that...We were still able to get good seats as the area is a nice size so no matter where you sit you really have a pretty good view....

 

this theatre is also the theatre that people like to watch shows from the public balconies above...we wanted to be down close and personal so we elected to sit in the theatre...

 

 

 

Thanks 2anitatom for these:

 

 

 

the talented divers have a myriad of

wonders that they perform...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

There was even a little comedy:

 

[ILuvCruisin']

The owner of these shots is the Mom

of one of the divers...she has

wonderful shots of rehearsal

and the show on the Oasis....

these are fantastic!!!

[ILuvCruisin']

 

[ILuvCruisin']

You must go and see this show...sometimes

it gets rained out but if it doesn't do not skip it...

you will be sorry...it is always Awesome!!!

Dazzles (Aft,Deck 8 and 9) is a club we visited every evening and it is also where the Meet and Mingle usually is held...

 

you will find different music in there every evening...on Day 2 it was the music from the 80's, one night it was 70's, they also had a Michael Jackson Night...you may even find a night of Big Band music...It is a double deck club with a pretty large dance floor..we all love to dance so we spent several evenings in this venue...

 

here are some videos to check out so you can see what a wonderful time we had...

Hi cruisemama1: you are welcome...Aft Deck 8 is a great Deck...our cabin on the Oasis was Aft Deck 8...it is a great location...a few decks down to the Promenade with Guest Services...a few decks up to the Windjammer and the Pool Deck...a couple decks down to the Boardwalk...

 

and thanks for posting...I was beginning to think nobody was getting anything from this thread...was wondering if I should continue posting or not...it's been so long since anybody posted anything I thought I was alone...:o

[ILuvCruisin']

Also on Day 2 we enjoyed Dance Music with the Smooth Sailing Duo in the Viking Crown Lounge Deck 17...these guys were amazing...one of them played the guitar and the drums ...yes, at the same time...haha
