ILuvCruisin' Posted October 1, 2014 #54 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Wow! What a beautiful tribute. Thank you for sharing so much and for allowing us to see into this very private part of your life. I was looking for pictures of the Royal Loft Suite as someone asked me about it and I ran across your review. I now know there was another reason that I "happened" upon it.

CaribbeanDreamer80 Posted March 20, 2016 #55 Share Posted March 20, 2016 I enjoyed your review of this suite. I am very sorry for your loss but I am happy that you and your family have been able to learn what is important from your daughters illness and passing. Life is too short to worry about the bad stuff and wonder about the future, look at today as the biggest gift. This suite looks so amazing and I found it funny that y'all didn't find the fridge in the closet until days in. I bet the hot tub was amazing at night! Thanks for the pictures of a room that I can only dream about seeing one day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare A&L_Ont Posted March 21, 2016 Author #56 Share Posted March 21, 2016 Your welcome and thank you for the kind words. I sometimes look back upon this review and think of the what ifs but one can not live their life like that. It is best to remember the positives and never to forget the negatives.

Norway2 Posted March 21, 2016 #57 Share Posted March 21, 2016 Andrew, You have great writing ability. I am so touched by your story. You were blessed with Allie and she with you, Lisa and Owen. Im glad you got to enjoy that beautiful suite. Thanks for sharing your story. I will continue to follow you on your crise on the Allure. I'm sailing in 8 weeks! Enjoy!

Lynn1179 Posted March 21, 2016 #59 Share Posted March 21, 2016 The view from aboveThis picture was taken from our balcony overlooking a Carnival ship in July 2012 in Saint Martin. This March the same ship was docked beside us again. We departed first, just like last summer, and the cruisers waved any shouted back and forth as always. Little did they know they weren't departing as this was the Carnival ship that had generator problems and remained in port for a few days. We didn't clearly hear what they were shouting but if we had listened a bit more carefully it might have been for "help". OK, I am sorry... That was just a bit too easy of a joke. I did feel sorry for them though as we were enjoying our final sea days and they were waiting to get flights home. I busted out laughing when I read this. We were on Freedom of the Seaeas that same week, and in St. Marten the day after you. The ship was of course still there and our cruise director joked that night about their predicament. He said Carnival had asked if we had room on our ship to return some of their passengers to Port Canaveral. We didn't as it was so.d out, but he joked about wanting to stand on the gangway with a no vacancy sign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. It is nice to see it filter to the top every once in a while. I think Allie's story is meant to be shared. You know when we watched Allure's ice show I kept thinking it's great but it doesn't match the one on Oasis.

fun2bwith_me2 Posted March 22, 2016 #65 Share Posted March 22, 2016 (edited) Andrew, thank you so much for sharing your amazing story of Allie. I have been following you on b2b Allure, reading you great post as well as viewing your awesome periscopes. I have been so into your periscopes, when I came across your amazing story, it touched me, to the point that cruising left my mind and I was amazed of how your story has changed your view on life. I began to think about how thankful I am & life can be short. You are an amazing writer and I find myself looking for your post daily. I have enjoyed watching Owen, he seems amazing, especially him working at chops...lol. Thank you for your wonderful tribute to Allie. I look forward to following you for the rest of the week. I am cruising Allure May 29th, you review has really helped me a lot. Edited March 22, 2016 by fun2bwith_me2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ocean Boy Posted March 22, 2016 #66 Share Posted March 22, 2016 I agree. It is nice to see it filter to the top every once in a while. I think Allie's story is meant to be shared. You know when we watched Allure's ice show I kept thinking it's great but it doesn't match the one on Oasis. Sent from my iPhone using Forums mobile app That is how I felt on Allure also. The sand artist on Oasis brings the show to a completely different level. Allies's story is not just her story. It is the story of your family and it is a beautiful story. Its impact is never lost on me. I still get just as touched, and teary, as when I read it the first time. Have a great rest of your cruise with your family.

swim13 Posted June 26, 2016 #67 Share Posted June 26, 2016 I am so sorry to hear about Allie. You wrote some beautiful words and I am so happy that I came to read this review. You've shared a life lesson that we can all learn from. You have a special family and a very special spirit with you! I hope that some day I am fortunate enough to sail in the Royal Loft Suite, or any suite on Deck 17. It would be amazing to take my parents and put them in this room with me after all they've done for me. Thank you so much for sharing! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This review is about a cabin but in reality it is about life. You never know what will happen but you have to make the most of it. I hope one day that you can take your parents on that trip. It will mean a lot to you and even more to them. Andrew Edited June 26, 2016 by A&L_Ont Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hucifer Posted May 17, 2018 #70 Share Posted May 17, 2018 Andrew, your sweet little Allie made my heart feel so full. I never heard of her condition, so I clicked on the link. God has truly blessed all of you with such a beautiful little girl. I just want to give your family a big hug. As far as the suite...that's as close to seeing it as I'll ever get (unless I get that Sugar Daddy), so thank you for your review. After five inside cabins, I cannot fathom that kind of space or luxury. But I am willing to try! Thank you for sending me to this report. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luvcruzing Posted August 29, 2018 #72 Share Posted August 29, 2018 5 year old post We know, and we don’t mind. Andrew, I’m reading your current live review, and when you mentioned Allie and the rainbow in the pictures, I had to find out what happened. This was both a heartbreaking and a heartwarming story. Blessings to you and your family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blessings to you and your family. Thank you. Both of your kind words mean a lot. Much has changed but she is always with us. When we were in Alaska a month ago we found a dime there. A sign again.

Ocean Boy Posted August 29, 2018 #74 Share Posted August 29, 2018 5 year old post So? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare A&L_Ont Posted August 29, 2018 Author #75 Share Posted August 29, 2018 So? I wasn’t go to say anything but you and luvcruising are right. This review is more than just pictures about a cabin. However, if someone is looking for a review of the cabin it hasn’t structurally changed at all. Yes they have added Star Class but that’s it. As for the 5 year comment, the individual most likely looked at the date of the original post and that was it. Didn’t even glance at what the review was about. If they had read it that comment would have been the last thing they ever said, either that or they are miserable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
