We both completely understand the risk involved with covid and will never downplay it, but we take our precautions and avoid situations you know could get you into a quarantine or catch it and we've up to this point had a phenomenal cruise And thank you for taking the time to share your experience! it's been wonderful cruising with you. Can't wait to be onboard in a month! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare perfect match Posted January 16, 2022 #553 Share Posted January 16, 2022 Thank you very much for a great review, @colesc15! We were on Allure back in September and had a great cruise on her. You brought back some wonderful memories! Since you mentioned that you’re flying home tomorrow, I hope you’re keeping an eye on the weather. From what I’m seeing on TV, there will be plenty of snow and ice, so things are unlikely to go as planned. Here in Florida, we’re not expecting snow or ice 😱, just high winds and rain in the AM. I hope that you and all of your Allure shipmates are able to make it home safely. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare colesc15 Posted January 16, 2022 Author #557 Share Posted January 16, 2022 At the airport for a long day. I love the facial recognition for customs VS the actual agents. Until next time friends! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mein18 Posted January 16, 2022 #560 Share Posted January 16, 2022 Record time this morning. Off the ship and was checking in at airport at 7:45 and that was even after doing a random check before leaving the ship for customs. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare binro01 Posted January 16, 2022 #563 Share Posted January 16, 2022 (edited) Thank you @colesc15 for the great live thread. The wife and I will be on Allure, if all things work out testing wise. (Hard to feel good about. Our son is getting married on Saturday, and my wife is visiting some family in San Diego, with a flight the following Friday). If all goes well we hope to have a great cruise like you did. Ready to roll with the punches. Edited January 16, 2022 by binro01 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fndumb Posted January 16, 2022 #567 Share Posted January 16, 2022 Great report! Just to add things that I don't think were mentioned: Cleaning going on all the time. As you sat down at any table the "available" sign was immediately turned to the "unavailable" side until you left then the table and chairs were washed and disinfected. Playing 3-card poker, the dealer pumped hand sanitizer on your hands before you could touch the cards. When you gave them your seapass, they wiped it down as well. Had breakfast and one lunch in the MDR, never mixed tables and there were never two tables occupied next to each other. Felt totally safe the whole time. If we had to wait 40 seconds for an elevator, that was unusual. Think that happened once. Disembarking was the easiest ever. You get a time to leave. Put your bags out then in the morning go get breakfast them head back to your stateroom until your number is called. We got off the ship a half hour before our time was scheduled. Very smooth, never had to slow down all the way to the car. Johnny Rockets has the best bacon. Giovanni's has the best filet. It is juicy and not as dried out as in Chops. Drink package to buy on board on day 1 was $84 but second one was 50% off so about what we paid pre-cruise. I was a little disappointed that the casino does not let a husband and wife combine points for future cruises. But I got over it. Both of us got Prime with 2500 points. We had a great time and Roual Caribbean is top notch. I don't think they could have done a better job! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have to agree with most everything except in our area of the MDR, prior to us being assigned a table, they attempted to squeeze us in to one of 3 tables for 2 that week maybe 15" apart. All 3 we're occupied every night but plenty of available spaced tables throughout the MDR. When they tried to squeeze us in on the first and second nights, I said no and they say us at a somewhat distanced table and we had that same table every night after. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eventually it will be made public by whichever authority has control over it. It will probably take a little digging but it will be out there. Same with plane crashes. Sometimes it can take up to a year or so. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
