Allure “LIVE” 3/5-3/13 - The allure of the Allure

[PacnGoNow]

Could someone check if we can order a small bottle 375ml once inboard for our room, through room service?  
I appreciate it!

 Thanks

Early morning sunrise as we sailed in to St. Thomas.  It is 82° and sunny today.

Never seen karaoke at dazzles (usually on air club for that).   I assume Dazzles still has a live band most nights?   

 

Karaoke was at Dazzles when we sailed Allure last September.  That was new for me also (vs On Air Club).  Don't know if that's a permanent or temporary change.  I'm not a fan of Dazzles for anything.  Too long and skinny.  Using that space for Music Hall on Wonder should be a nice improvement.

I did.  But I’m wondering if those included everything.  If so they got rid of Negra Modelo as an offering which is a bummer.  Hopefully someone onboard Allure could ask at Sabor just to confirm. It is possible it just isn’t listed on the app. 

 

I've found that the beer they have onboard doesn't match well with what's on the menu...especially draft beer.  And it could change bar to bar and week to week based on what's available.  Negra is my standard beer when eating mexican food.

Had dinner at Sabor last night; no Negro Modela. Corona was the only Mexican beer they had

Love the Iced Tea cocktails.  What's in the Boston?  We have the beverage package on our upcoming X cruise (followed closely by Harmony), so I'm keeping a list of drinks I want to try.    

 

Did they "charge" you for each shot of liquor?  That happened to me when I ordered a Long Island one time on a cruise.  😖

Can anyone currently on the cruise list any bourbons they have in the bars? Going in a few weeks and my hubby is a bourbon drinker. Thanks!

Thank you for sharing your trip with us!  Hubby and I love the Dublin Iced Tea.  Guess im going to have to set the alarm for 630 to get a seat by the pool😁.  Hope your trip continues to be a great one.

Check the Royal app.  You can see them listed within each venue.

I think this calls for an email right to the top brass?   How is that the only Mexican beer at a Mexican themed restaurant.  Just ridiculous.  
 

I wonder why they discontinued Modelo.  Both types are seemingly very popular.

I have checked the app but recent reports across the fleet have stated a lack of bourbon. So I was hoping someone actually on the ship could see what the allure had in stock. All that could change in 2 weeks of course but figured it would be worth asking.

Royal's entire beer game has been severely lacking for a while.  I can't understand why they've been so late to the craft beer game.  It's usually very hard/impossible to find an IPA anywhere onboard, outside of Playmaker's.

I  think these issues of a lack of a particular liquor product is because RCCL cannot get it delivered. I do not believe the shortage is a decision on their part,

The Boston ice tea has this. 

 

They include it as one of or D voucher drinks, so no charge for us. 

 

And I must admit, it is difficult to type on the phone tonight after 3.

Thanks to everyone answering today, but after this. 
 

 

plus one caribe, one Bloody Mary, one wine, 3 Boston ice teas, and a rum and coke, it has been a tiring day.  Forgive any spelling or garbled sentences that follow.

The Pubs aren’t bad.  Craft beer sampling is a recipe for some serious hangovers so I’m ok with the many European beers in the pub.  I am a beer lover and like a wide range of beers.  But I still struggle to enjoy IPAs.  I just don’t get the attraction.  All the same, I agree,

they are behind because the market is craft oriented.

Understand.  Didn’t know if you were aware of the app menu availability.  I wasn’t until this thread.

Picking up where I left off, after my sunrise photo this morning, we did 6 miles on the track and had a quick breakfast at WJ. It has, at times, been a little disappointing.  

 

If we hadn’t been rushed with our plans for the day, I probably would have gone to the dining room. 

[h20skibum]

I too struggle with the IPA’s

 

The Grolsch is my favorite at the pub, but I have yet to order one.  Still working my way through Greg’s list, plus a few I added.

Allure docked at Crown Bay, so we decided to walk in town to havensight. It wasn’t a bad walk ( about 40 minutes), but I forgot both a hat and sunscreen.  
 

A few pictures along the way. 
 

Does every port have the guy on stilts? Sometimes it seems that way. 
 

 

The iguanas were out. 
 

 

in case anyone wants to know gas prices here, this is it. 
 

 

We found that there was a funeral home at each end of this cemetery.  I guess they don’t have to go far. 
 

 

And finally we get a glimpse of town. 
 

 

 

[h20skibum]

There were a few interesting photo ops at havensight. 
 

The giant chair.

 

 

The airplane. 
 

 

My thirst quencher 

 

 

And my dream of living on a boat like some of these. 

 

[h20skibum]

We had an afternoon excursion, so we walked back to Crown Bay, baking in the sun. 
 

The iguanas were out in full force.
