I'll be chugging some Maalox if that ship is not in Port Everglades next Sunday morning.

 

Keep the faith and have a blast. Very jealous. Best bartender on the ship by far is Gemma in the Champagne bar.

Thanks for the good wishes as well as the tip! And I'll be sure to visit the Champagne Bar.

We will be her 2 Mar, looking forward to a clean and fast ship.:eek: I wish the dry dock had a web cam, would be a great show!

By next May 2015 Allure will be going to/in Europe for the summer. Her 5 year maintenance dry dock will be in September 2015 in Rotterdam, Netherlands.

 

 

The Allure is doing 7 day Med cruises from Apr 2015 until Oct 2015, then she's going back to Miami (and I'll be on her)

Maybe they are splitting the ship in half during a dry docking?;)

She does have a webcam - not sure you'll see much next week http://bookings.royalcaribbean.co.uk/multimedia/webcam/ship.do?shipCode=AL&cameraLocation=%2Fcontent%2Fshared_assets%2Fwebcam%2FAL%2FGallery_3.jpg--Royal+Promenade

I didn't realise there's a difference?

 

It will be my first visit to the states.

Oh sorry, you probably got confused because you'll be flying in and out of Miami - no flights direct to Fort Lauderdale from the UK. They're about 30 miles apart.

 

See you on the cruise :D

Ship is already on the move. Not wasting any time getting out of port today.

Lady Allure is heading out from Port Everglades NOW! On her way to Wetdock!!

[Stevie17]

I was JUST watching the Port Everglades webcam and wondered why she was moving. Thanks for the explanation!

[Bobal]

She's off - hope all goes well with the repair and looking forward to being onboard in one week's time :D

 

Lots of crew out on deck for the sailaway

Why is she going to wet dock? What are they doing? I thought her dry dock wasn't till spring.

[Baded]

She is on her way!

[suizas]

so great to see some of the crew actually being able to be on deck during the sailaway! I even saw some crew members taking pictures.. must be kinda neat for them :-)

 

(ps - she is having maintenance to one of the 3 azipods in Freeport... will be back next weekend)

[PCWalton1]

looks so strange to see her leave empty. Ghost ship, :eek: :p

Quickie fix of center pod bearing. Abnormal wear has existed since late summer/early fall 2013. This is not noticeable on western itinerary, but causes the ship to have shortened port times on eastern itinerary. This is not the full 5 year drydock/rehab. This is for repair only and the ship will sail out of PE next week with guests (that's the plan). RCI had to wait for parts to fix the issue as well as upgrades made at Freeport that could handle putting Allure into wet dock.

I thought the exact same thing! Really fun to watch the crew...I especially liked seeing the chefs in their chef hats on the forward area of the ship!:D

[Ocean Boy]

They didn't waste any time getting out.

[Esmerelda]

It looks so weird with just a handful of crew members in the view onboard when normally there are 1,000's of people waving.

 

:o

Why isn't CNN reporting on this as another devastating blow to the cruise industry? :rolleyes:
