Wow, I love your review. Your description of the Royal Promenade is excellent, really puts me back on the ship. I like the seats that are inside Sorrentos too, the ones on the other side of the wall. Can't wait to read the rest.

Above Bow and Stern is a homage to the "Project Genesis" code name used before Allure and Oasis were officially named.

 

 

"Prince and Green" store

 

There are little sculptures all over the ship

So glad I stumbled upon this, Grady. I'm a fan of your reviews and can't wait to read this one.

 

We were on Allure this past March and are going again in February with our family - all 21 of us! As you said, there's no way to appreciate the ship's grandness until you see her in person. I'm not sure if I'm more excited to sail on her again or watch my family's eyes pop out as they see her for the first time. :)

 

Looking forward to reading the rest.

 

Love your reviews, Grady! Thank you for sharing. Can't wait to read more :)

 

Great review so far! Can't wait to read the rest!

 

Thanks for the kind words everyone, I'm glad you all are enjoying it!

That pretty much covers the Royal Promenade. Here is a video I made walking down it. It's available in HD if you have the ability to view it that way.

 

 

This sign lets you know where we are heading next. I'll be back on tomorrow with more.

I remeber saying the same thing all week long on our cruise. You see the pictures and you hear the its this long and that tall. Till you see it in person nothing can do it justice. Did you see Gemma and Jerome at the Champagne Bar they're my favorite bartenders my buddies from the Liberty

[shelby101]

We were on the Oasis this year and doing Allure next year. What all did they do for Halloween?

I must really be getting old, I feel like I am seeing some of this for the first time again. Its only been 6 months. Post Cruise Dementia I think its called.
