LIVE! First time on the Allure of the Seas - May 7, 2017 Eastern Caribbean

[ckrobyn]

I watched Allure dock in St. Maarten this morning via the webcam (http://www.portstmaartenwebcam.com/). Enjoy your day. :D

 

 

 

Thanks! We are just finishing up breakfast and then heading ashore [emoji4]

We have done many b2b's with St.Maarten on both weeks, and while one week can be like glass, the next can be so rough you're risking your life if you go in....

 

 

And your sunglasses!!:cool::cool:

As many times as we have been to this island I never get tired of it. I always feel a bit disappointed if it is not on an itinerary that we are doing.

Still sunny so far.....

 

We love renting a jeep and heading over to Mullet Bay Beach, which is, in my opinion one of the best beaches anywhere. The only real issue is the unpredictability of the waves over there. We have done many b2b's with St.Maarten on both weeks, and while one week can be like glass, the next can be so rough you're risking your life if you go in....

Have heard good things about Mullet, but didn't know that the water varies day by day. Glad the sun is out after all. Enjoy your day. Looking forward to hearing about it.

Loving the live review. I don't sail Allure for 95 days. Until then, living vicariously through you. Thanks!!

It's a glorious sunny day ☀️☀️

 

Ducked into a place with free wifi for a cold beverage [emoji41]

I'm with you on that 100%, for us in a way, it's like coming back to something very comfortable and familiar [emoji4]

we have only been there a few times but it is one place I could visit more often. We will be there in August on Harmony

[ckrobyn]

We made it back onboard - wow what a day! It was really sunny, and really hot. The beach was fantastic, my daughter certainly enjoyed it [emoji41]

 

 

We shopped a little along Front St, and took the water taxi back to the ship. Right now we are sitting at the cafe promenade trying to cool down a bit with a cool drink before heading back to the cabin.

We are just pulling away from the dock as I type this, from my balcony...

 

 

 

Tonight we are planning to eat in the MDR - we have to at least once this cruise!

 

Observation: there are thousands of passengers onboard, but surprisingly it never feels crowded. I'd heard it before, and now I can confirm it to be true.

 

More later....[emoji41]

Very true a lot of times, but then there are those that I would beg to differ....such as sea days by the pools and the nightly sales on the Promenade. :o Oh and lets not forget breakfast in the Windjammer on a port day around 8-9am!:eek:

 

Glad the weather tuned out great for you again today. One thing I've learned is to totally ignore the weather reports in the tropics (unless there's a hurricane coming). It's never completely correct and rain is so isolated much of the time.

 

I've been enjoying following along...looking forward to hear how your dinner in the MDR is tonight.

What a great picture!!!

 

Was that at Great Bay Beach, right off the Boardwalk?

Look at the very bottom - you can actually reserve VIP seats for 70's night and unlimited drinks? Wow [emoji15]

I was a bit disappointed when we got the compass last night and here is what it said

 

 

The forecast could not have been more wrong as you can see from the pics I posted all day ☀️ it's true, don't pay too much attention to the weather forecast in the Caribbean!

 

I'll let you know our thoughts on the MDR. We have My Time and will be in the American Icon dining room.

The Headliner tonight is El Gaucho. I've seen his act on other ships and while we have reservations, we are skipping the show.

 

Time to head to the Diamond Lounge. I know there is a Cosmo calling my name [emoji4]

This would be fun but not so sure it's worth it for those that have the drink package.

How did I miss this post from my BFF??

 

I'll never forget that trip to Orient Beach and the ocean that stole my sunglasses! Thanks for the reminder!!!

They probably forgot to update their template from the last Day 4 Compass. :p

Can't say we weren't warned.[emoji15]🤣

 

Was it Orient? I thought it was Mullet.

I'm going to have to leave the suite lounge and head to the diamond lounge to meet ckrobyn.
