Trip Report Allure Med 2015

[cuddylier]

When boarding in Barcelona are the cabin corridors locked until 1pm ? Or can you get access earlier ?

 

The corridors were open but there was signs up saying cabins weren't ready until 1pm.

Loving the review! I'm doing the 12-night Med/Venice on the Brilliance next summer, so the common ports are fantastic to see!

Nice review, loving the irony and the comments :cool:

 

I'm sorry it rained so much while you were in Mallorca, you had very bad luck. For us locals was a blessing after a terribly hot and dry summer, now it's super hot again. But it's like that in summer, always blue sunny skies except for the occasional "end of the world" storm.

What an excellent review with some amazing pictures! Thank you for taking the time out and sharing. DW and I love big ships so naturally we can't wait to try the Oasis class ships. So glad they're in Europe now since that cuts our travel cost and time by half. We're scheduled to be on board the Allure in the Caribbean next year and cannot wait, thanks to this wonderful review.

WOW... I'm speechless! The time you took to write all of that... I thoroughly enjoyed it!

Thanks to you I have some answers to questions I needed!

I have already changed some show times and was considering a specialty restaurant at sail away on the first night. Your picture of sail away made me realize I don't want to miss it by being stuck inside!

Again, what an awesome review! Best I've ever read!

When you do the Caribbean let me know, we'd love to go with you!

 

Thanks so much again!!! We sail October 4th and I'm even more excited than I was before I read this!

I just found your TR this evening and I've read the entire thing! Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. Beautiful photos and very enjoyable to see and read about the ports and the ship. Love your writing style and sense of humor! As a previous poster said, it's refreshing to read a thread like this on CC. :)

Thank You Sussi! Your review helped a lot with our last few days of planning. We sail in October on same itinerary. Was the VAT tax charged for entire cruise or only when you were in Spain?

Hey Sussi, great pics - I am going on Allure in 6 days time. Did you watch the broadway show which one is it - how showtimes are there. Trying to plan meal times, how was Sabor ? would you recommend for lunch or dinner.

 

Regards,

Cate

I just want to add my thanks, having written many reviews and reports I know how long they take and the effort involved.

Will be on the Allure for the TA in October and your review and pics have been very helpful.
