Allure Live, January 27 to February 3. - Where my Beaches At?

[A&L_Ont]

Last one for the night. Santa has been at the shows both night’s. We also spotted him in the casino after the Quest.  Hopefully he isn't blowing the elves pay.

 

[A&L_Ont]

That’s it for tonight.  See yah later.

Awesome live review as always. Thank you so much for taking us along.

DoctorWhoGirl thank-you but hey now, don’t start that.... we still have an entire day left and the post cruise shakedown breakdown.

 

Tomorrow I’ll still be more interesting than the pre-Super Bowl shows. LOL, I might be more interesting than the game. I heard all the people in New Orleans are reading my review VS watching it. If all goes well we should be sitting on our couch by 5 pm with our laundry sorted and started. 

 

So all of, no more of that today. Help us live in denial.  Other wise I’ll take you out with a pass interference hit before you know what happened.

Now on a more positive note. Sun is out Lisa’s at the pool. 

 

[A&L_Ont]

And for me... things are about to get better.

Have to order our D+ photos this morning too. Just picked up some envelopes at guest services.

This is the guy we have to stop, he puts out the bing off the ship machines.

 

We have to stop him. 😉

Wait, I thought STAR folks got their laundry done before leaving ship. 🤔

 

I may have to rethink my booking

Can't you get Starbucks delivered?

Probably wouldn't be as hot. Plus nothing wrong getting a little exercise.

When and where did you book the 70's party that you and Lisa were on the Rising Tide.  We are interested in doing that too.

 

Thanks again..

 

Safe travels.

You’re right about all of that!!  I’ve been quietly following along, living vicariously with you and Lisa for the past week.  Woke up this morning with that......Oh No! It’s the last day feeling!  Being from Louisiana, I think you are spot on about the people in NOLA!!

 

Thanks for taking us along and enjoy your last day!  We will be on Allure, but a few doors down, in September......not soon enough.

Agreed. More thought put into it. 

 

 

Thanks York for the explanation.  Good thing they didn’t question the Coke on my list. 

 

Gotta level out somehow... 😉

That birthday cake is so cute! Hope it tasted as good as it looked.  I think you should do a B2B, cause I'm going to miss no more LIVE reviews. I have to wait until July for my Allure cruise.

Thanks, Andrew, for once again taking us along. I’m here in Minneapolis and your review certainly helped make our days of being shut in more bearable. Today will be in the high 30’s-almost swim suit weather! We are headed out  to enjoy one of the many outdoor events that are going on this weekend. Now that seems to us as rather bizarre but we actually live in California so what do we know about any of this

 except we need several layers to survive. 

 

Happy birthday day to Lisa-what a cake!

PS-I miss the Lucy sightings😿

Some do. I need to get Lisa back into the routine you know. 😉

Some do. I like getting out and about.

I’d say ask at the Rising Tide Bar. They should know.

Do 4th downs and no 55-yard lines (center) bother you?

 

I’ve always found the Canadian version of our game very enjoyable.

Enjoy Allure. She has been great. I bet you can guess who we are cheering for.

A few years ago we did B2B sailings in March. As Owen got older in school we stopped the practice. It worked great when Easter was early and he only missed 4 days of school.

The cake was delicious.  I almost considered eating the left overs for breakfast but it had been sitting out all night in covered. 

 

Lucy has been surviving the cold weather with her heated water bowl and her thick bed of wood shavings. She has also been getting treats from Grandma.  All is good in Lucy’s world.

Oh, ours is way better.  But don’t forget that you are “Crowning the World Champions tomorrow”.  Or wait, are the refs doing that. 😉

LOL! Andrew told me that he hasn’t “leveled out” since his university days.

York, we didnt grown up together, yet somehow I feel like we did.

Lunch report from the pool deck. No Kankakes sighted this sailing.

 

 

 

I had a good morning at wave and both are up and running after it’s repair in San Juan. The sports desk manager told me that the guys from WaveLoc are coming to do proper repairs in a few weeks. In essence it got a bandaid for now. 

 

Lisa has been flaked out at the pool deck and I have been with her for the last 2.5 hours. She told me about the near dust up the Beach Pool which was the result of attendants removing towels off multiple chairs each side of her. 

 

Needless to say there is supposed to be a fight tomorrow, after disembarkation and customs. I will give further details later.  It reminds me of the movie 3 O’Clock High, only in the am.

Song currently playing by the band.... “Girl I’m gonna make to sweat”. Damn, I’m already dripping. 

 

I want to hear “dollar, cent, ten cent, dollar” etc...
