rdsxgrl28 Posted May 5, 2014 #1127 Share Posted May 5, 2014 Totally excellent job! ITA agree about the elevator smooshers, we find that the stairs are much less crowded most times. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

travellink Posted May 5, 2014 #1129 Share Posted May 5, 2014 Chris, great review! Thanks for taking the time to share your cruise with us again! We just booked our first cruise with Royal on the Allure in Jan 2105 partly due to your and Gambee's reviews. Happy Sailing ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisesR4me Posted May 5, 2014 #1130 Share Posted May 5, 2014 Chris- I really appreciate you doing your reviews. It gives me a chance to get that cruising "thrill" when circumstances are keeping me from being on a ship for the near future. Now if only someone would invent a way we could feel that ocean motion while sitting home reading these live reviews!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evelyn51 Posted May 5, 2014 #1132 Share Posted May 5, 2014 Thank YOU for all you've done for us virtual cruisers! You have also provided us our "escapism"! Until we cruise again....take care and one more thank you! Same sentiments from Canada! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Memsy87 Posted May 5, 2014 #1133 Share Posted May 5, 2014 Just arrived back in Ireland after our first time on Royal Caribbean's Allure. It was our honeymoon and it was amazing. The staff were so accommodating and lovely and it has definitely convinced us to sail with Royal Caribbean again!

Lady Hudson Posted May 5, 2014 #1134 Share Posted May 5, 2014 Don't forget Dale's little buddy!! I miss Andy. Of course April 12th is right before the end of tax season so I'll have to catch up after the 15th. You beat me to it -- I was going to ask if Andy will be invited this time. I laugh out loud at his antics:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
readytolose Posted May 5, 2014 #1135 Share Posted May 5, 2014 Chris, Was there a cover charge for Izumi? I know there was a charge in the past but I thought I had read that they were discontinuing the cover charge and just charging for the food. Just curious if that was the case on your cruise. Thanks!

Orangefan Posted May 5, 2014 #1137 Share Posted May 5, 2014 Sali. You can get a nice window and view into Bermuda by watching the webcamhttp://www.portbermudawebcam.com We sailed to Bermuda out of NJ in August and had very calm seas. Lots good info can be found on the Ports of Call board section of Cruise Critic Last season for Explorer of the Seas to Bermuda this year. spring 2015 you will have Liberty of the Seas ad an option Okay Chris welcome back home...is it time yet for your 'reveal'. :) Hi Emmy, Thank you for your response. I did check on the Bermuda web cam a few minutes ago. The Explorer of the Seas was in port with the sun shining on her. I hope you don't mind I looked at your Bermuda photos and it sure looked beautiful there. If you had to choose between Celebrity and RCI for Bermuda which would you choose? Would you change your mind if there was a big price difference? If a great last minute cruise comes along I might consider it . Sali Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrsfunfamily Posted May 5, 2014 #1138 Share Posted May 5, 2014 Chris, Thank you for all the time and effort that you put into your live review. Now I can have a do-over of our vacation!!

Hope it all comes under a warranty. Sali It should be under warranty as I bought it a month before my November cruise aboard Allure. I'm taking it up to Geek Squad tomorrow as I'm sure it will be done for at least a few days if not a few weeks Sent from my HTC6600LVW using Tapatalk Edited May 5, 2014 by Bugsy4271 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TeamH Posted May 6, 2014 #1147 Share Posted May 6, 2014 A big thank you from me too for such a fantastic review. It's highly unlikely that I will ever get on to the Allure myself so I really enjoyed "travelling" with you. If the stars align, I may be able to get the family on the Oasis if we manage a planned trip to the US next year, so I'll be off to read your review of that. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WVUGammy Posted May 6, 2014 #1148 Share Posted May 6, 2014 Chris: So love the fact that I Will be there Live sailing with you when you and Dale do your tag team live review on Quantum.

emmy Posted May 6, 2014 #1150 Share Posted May 6, 2014 Hi Emmy, Thank you for your response. I did check on the Bermuda web cam a few minutes ago.

If you had to choose between Celebrity and RCI for Bermuda which would you choose? Would you change your mind if there was a big price difference? If a great last minute cruise comes along I might consider it . Sali Sali ~ sorry for the delay in responding. First off thank you for your kind comments re my Bermuda photos. Last August was my first time there. Explorer will sail away today out of Bermuda. I chose Celebrity Summit because it stayed 3 full days and was a 7 days cruise. I LOVE RCI and would love to go to Bermuda on Liberty of the Seas. Her 5 night itinerary is so short with only 2 days in Bermuda and the longer itinerary 9 days I think only stays one full day...not enough time. I really enjoyed the Summit as a ship and it will give you the most time in Bermuda especially for that first visit. I would watch pricing on Liberty and Summit both. When the Vision to Bermuda sailing came up I booked it first day it was available and it really came down in price. RCI's Grandeur also sails to Bermuda from Baltimore feel free to email me emmy soo 1 @ shaw. ca Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
