I'm going to try to do a live report from my cruise March 6th on the Allure. Going to try to post pictures and even try to do some Periscopes.

 

A little info on me. I live in Va. This is my 7th cruise 4th on RCI. First time on Allure. Looking forward to the ship. This cruise is about the ship been to all the ports before. Well not Falmouth but Jamaica. I'm cruising with my 75 year old mother. She is getting up there in age so figured we better do this ship now while she is still mobile enough to get around a ship this big.

 

The plans for the ports are???? Labadee going to do the Zip Line and roller coaster hope to GoPro video those and hang at the beach. Mom will chill on the beach. Jamaica go to high tea at a plantation house and hang by the pool at Margarita Ville. Cozumel no plans other than go down to shop. May end up a beach somewhere.

 

Cabin you ask??? My home for the week will be 14715 a boardwalk balcony. Kind of had a brain cramp when I booked this cabin I like to be toward the top of the ship. Quicker to the pool deck. I didn't take into account the bridge across the back of the ship. I hope this does not hurt my view too bad of well I think I'll survive..

 

Getting to Ft Lauderdale!!! Since this cruise cost a little more than my past cruises. I'm Driving flights out of Roanoke Va cost a fortune!!! Gas is cheap but my lord 14 hours driving is a nightmare. So I'm going to leave Friday evening after work and drive 5 or 6 hours hopefully getting almost to Ga. Get up early Saturday and make my way to Ft. Pierce where I will spend the night before the cruise. Why not Ft. Lauderdale?? Why pay almost $200 for a place to lay your head for 1 night that I will barely sleep cause I'm jacked up from thinking about cruising on the big girl for a week.

 

My Periscope name is @narzhokie If you wish to follow along!!!! I'll be glad to answer any questions you have while I'm on the ship. I hope I can pull this review off never have tried to do a live review

 

 

So excited!!! I will be on this cruise as well!!! First time on Allure too!!

Enjoy & drive safely. :)

 

I would like to know if Allure offers the drink vouchers yet (the one where you pay a flat rate for a number of drink vouchers - not the drink package). I would appreciate it if you can find out.

Safe travels. Following you here and on Periscope. We are on Allure in one week so you will provide a wonderful distraction while I try to accomplish tasks at work.

 

Thank-you in advance.:)

Pretty uneventful drive down to Walterboro SC. Other than work calling 3 hours down the road about our cash register system. Was afraid it had crashed if that happened that would of been the end of this review!! But thankfully I was able to fix the issue over the phone at 75mph. Got to the best western at 11:15 pm checked in. Went across the street to eat dinner!!! Well make that a Midnight Snack. I love me some Waffle House. The all star was calling my name!!!!32867fc1baba50fb744bd2070dc6738a.jpgbdc921ed9072b9c3cc9027095d07b7d9.jpg

 

Time to get some sleep. 5 hour drive to Ft. Pierce

So exciting that you'll be cruising tomorrow. Yah.

Your pictures of your snack are making me hungry (and I just had breakfast :D) Looks yummy.

 

Question about periscope as you mention you'll be using it. How does it work? If I subscribe, will my phone be doing loud noises when you post? Or can you control how you are notified? Want to follow but can't have my phone dinging when I am at work.

It whistles to alert you. I'm sure u can turn it off. Once I get on the ship I'm going to try to post on here when I'm going to periscope
