Allure of the seas January 8 - live ish

[mlbcruiser]

Colesc15 or fundumb, do you know if they are having separate Diamond and Diamond Plus lounges or are they blending them into one lounge, current numbers of passengers being what they are)?   It would be nice to go in at cocktail hr. and be able to easily get a seat! 
Do you know if the Brazilian Grill is closed all the time at present?

I asked about Samba and they said it was closed all week. 

 

As far as diamond lounge, we haven't stepped in yet so I'm not sure.

I've never read of diamond and diamond plus being separate and I've read a lot of threads and it's never been mentioned. Pinnacle is the one getting their own lounge on some ships.

Sunday night football in on air. Shocking its quiet lol 

 

Stopped in the casino a bit ago and had a decent hit to win back a little bit of what I've lost so far

Thanks for keeping us up to date.  We will be on Allure Feb13.    Can you please post a picture of the entertainment at a glance?  I am curious to hear if any of the shows are impacted.  

Mama Mia cancelled all week. They are having a shortened version of the songs.

[colesc15]

I don't have high hopes I'll stay for this whole show lol. Not my vibe. Had to laugh at their announcement that there's "no need for physical distancing" in the seats (none are blocked off) but in the same announcement said they'll release section by section to allow social distancing.. Because that makes so much sense 🙄 sit by random people for the whole show shoulder to shoulder but then leaving, gotta play it safe lol

We didn't last long. Talented but not our kind of music. Took a stroll through central Park since it stopped pouring rain (got to use the umbrellas in cp for the first time ever tonight after dinner). I just love the peacefulness of it.

 

Now enjoying a night cap on the balcony as we rock back and forth! I hope you guys are enjoying and thank you for all the kind words!

If you're ever in Chops during a storm, there's a back door that leads to the cabins on deck 8 Portside

Were my thoughts exactly. Like sardines in a couple areas.

Your cruise looks amazing. Beautifully empty ship. I'm totally jelly. 😜

Wonderful pictures. I love Central Park as well. I was on the Symphony in December and I loved being in Central Park at night. It was so peaceful and beautiful. Your pictures make me want to be there. 🙂

Yes, me too. Looking forward to enjoying a low passenger count sailing next month. 

[MsDolly]

Can’t wait for next Sunday.  Hope the numbers on our 6 day cruise are near yours.  May even have to splurge on a dining package!

[dixiejen]

Amazing pics and “virtual tour”! Thanks so much for taking time out of your vacation to share your experience!  Hubbie is glad to know that football will be available! 🤪We’ll be on the Allure Jan. 16th and can only hope the crowds will be equally sparse!  Looking forward to to tomorrow’s reports — Enjoy!!

I know that "Samba Grill" is closed all week. However, does it still function as the "Solarium Bistro" at night or is it closed all together?

On Oasis Sept. sail, Pinnacles were scheduled for next door "Jazz on 4" and on Mariner Dec. sail it was in the "Library."

can anyone tell me what they are charging for the premium drink package if you buy it on the ship ?

The sign at the bar said $84 per person

Good morning CC! I slept like a rock last night. A beautiful day today as we sail towards St Thomas (but I'm sure we won't actually get to dock there) but regardless, a beautiful day for some more pool time and drinks!
