He was actually #2. He’s cruised on Allure about 61 times. His birthday is  next week I believe he told me he’s turning 70 or 78. Pretty sure it’s 70. Super nice guy. 

#2 is still more than I will ever get near, same for being on a single ship 61 times, amazing. Surely it is just 70. Yes, he and his wife are both very nice people.

Following along and wishing I were there.  We were on her last month and I am ready to go again.

 

Don’t blame you. These Oasis class ships are amazing. Thanks for following along!

We didn’t get an up charge. But this is how our bill was coded.

I’ve been told it can’t be used there but am still going to ask.

Thanks for the great commentary and photos. We'll be on Allure in 2 weeks. Just curious, how has the motion and speed of the ship been? We got the email about one propulsion pod having issues so they're reducing speed, some changes to itinerary. I don't mind changes to the stops, just wondering if we'll feel any difference. Will be my 8th cruise, second on Allure. She is a beauty.

Dinner was at Chops, was good. We asked our waiter about the individual 50th birthday celebration cakes and he had no idea what we were talking about. Last night the internet seemed to go wonky with uploading pictures.

 

 

Chops

 

 

 

 

 

We closed Chops down last night, last folks to be ushered out the door. After Chops we went to the casino for a bit where for awhile I was doing well and then should had just stopped them, but know I had to keep playing. 😀

 

 

 

Upon returning to the cabin sir towel animal was waiting ever so patiently.

Ah, the donut shop on Allure.  I remember we'd have a full breakfast. Then headed to the Boardwalk immediately after and had a donut for dessert.  Only on vacation!

 

Having such a stressful day at work today, but those water photos are really helping.  So relaxing and peaceful!...

Amazing review. Seems like you're having a great time so far.
