novicetraveller Posted September 4, 2013 #1 Share Posted September 4, 2013 I fly out tomorrow to Miami in prep for my Western Allure of the Seas cruise on Sunday. I can't wait. I know I can't compete with the other reviews (including the live ones), so I don't know if I should even try. But I must admit, I am excited. Have been on the Allure twice before (B2B) and enjoyed it immensely. I won't have the pleasure of trying the premium restaurants whilst on board, especially as I am a fussy vegetarian. But all I know is... I can't wait!!!! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

novicetraveller Posted September 4, 2013 Author #3 Share Posted September 4, 2013 Have a safe flight and an INCREDIBLE cruise!!! I'll probably be watching you on the webcam Sunday so be sure and wave goodbye!! I am hoping for a few things to happen pre-cruise. I am hoping to go to the Sawgrass Recreation Place and the Flamingo Gardens in Fort Lauderdale, meet up with the people at the pre-cruise dinner, seeing in the Oasis on Saturday (and seeing her depart) as well as seeing in the Allure. In between seeing the Oasis come in and depart, I am not sure what to do. :eek: (Plus I am normally behind a camera, and not in front of it. :o) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't get to sail until December. :( I think it would be so cool to be one of those people out on the rocks watching the Oasis sail in and sail back out on Saturday. I hear you can't be prepared for how big she and her sister ship are until you actually see them in person. I just finished reading another Allure review with tons of pictures. I was so excited just being in awe of all of the menus, food pics, venues, etc. I can't imagine how excited you are, since you are flying out tomorrow!! LUCKY YOU!! Have a GREAT time and I hope others will give you some ideas on what else to do while you're in FLL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have a GREAT time and I hope others will give you some ideas on what else to do while you're in FLL. I have the added advantage of being a solo cruiser in a GS. You will be amazed by the Allure, not because of the size, but by what you have available to do. You won't be able to do everything in 2 trips... that is what I am telling myself. I will be on the Oasis next year when she comes to Europe.... which will be my first cruise as a platinum. I really can't wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a fault in the food, but an issue with my taste buds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

novicetraveller Posted September 4, 2013 Author #18 Share Posted September 4, 2013 Take care of the Allure! I board her in 17 days.:D I was planning on selling the Allure on e-bay once I have finished with her. :D :p But seriously, I will make sure she gets back to Ft Lauderdale in one piece. Can't promise she will be back in 17 days though. :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
