ronstergal Posted June 29, 2016 #1 Share Posted June 29, 2016 Hi there: I was wondering if anyone knows if the Allure's resident gardener(s) give tours of the plants in Central Park? I'm a big gardener and would be very interested in such a tour. I looked at the daily compasses (Eastern Caribbean) to see if I could find such a tour but couldn't find one (but there is a lot of info there and I might have missed it). Also, if there is a tour, is it free? Thanks so much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkkunk Posted June 29, 2016 #2 Share Posted June 29, 2016 Yes they do and it's free. Sent from my iPhone using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gizfish Posted June 29, 2016 #3 Share Posted June 29, 2016 Did this a couple of years ago and it was so fun and informative. I think they do it twice during the cruise, so check your daily planner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
February123 Posted June 29, 2016 #4 Share Posted June 29, 2016 We had the tour in May 2013. Very enjoyable and informative as mentioned earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VERY informative and you learn a lot about HOW they created and built the park and got the big trees in there and about the animal sounds change depending on the time of day.....all very cool...

dschultz56 Posted June 30, 2016 #6 Share Posted June 30, 2016 It was time well spent. Learned a lot of interesting tidbits about how the design morphed as they learned things. Like that big deflector at the top to keep the wind in the park to a minimum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katt Posted June 30, 2016 #7 Share Posted June 30, 2016 Loved this tour. If there is one available in the morning I would recommend that one over an afternoon one. I found it can become quite warm in there in the afternoon at least for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frank808 Posted July 1, 2016 #10 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Just looked on the compass and there is a central park tour scheduled for 930 tomorrow on day 6. Hope this helps op. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pratique Posted July 1, 2016 #11 Share Posted July 1, 2016 When we were on Allure western itinerary in April, the park tour was on day 2 at 9:30 am and we missed it because we hadn't yet studied the Cruise Compass in full detail. It is easy to miss - just one line buried among a very long list of daytime activities. Unfortunately the tour was not offered again so hopefully next time I will pay better attention to the Compass.
