LIVE ALLURE OFTHE C’s. August 6-14, 2022 STORY TIME. Third edition.............DON'T ASK

[Lionesss]

Trying to delay the act of packing to go home so posting bits and pieces. 
 

 

Finally got our Diamond + pins 3 cruises late. 
 

 

[Lionesss]

Time spent in the casino gets you this. 
 

 

 

 

Did not get any big jackpots. That is pay outs by attendants. But usually enough to keep playing from good matches on machine. ($600,$750,$500……….). 
We only visited in evening. 
 

Only one very expensive night where we donated to the cause. (RCI)  that is. To keep the boat afloat. 

[Lionesss]

More paper work. 
 

[Lionesss]

The saddest smallest most depressing pieces of paper. 
 

Which eventually will lead us to our house. 
(sniff, sniff).

Sorry that you are getting off tomorrow, that mean our cruise on sept 17th. is a little closer. Same ship.

[Arzeena]

Thanks for the pictures, the posts and the laughs.

Have a safe trip home.
Where to next?

[Lionesss]

This was our last cruise for the year.  
 

Now planning for a Halloween baby shower theme is 

 

SOMETHING IS BREWING 

 

Probably do a land vacation to Washington DC or Niagara Falls. 
 

The next cruise I cannot wait to sail is Oasis in March!!!!!!

 

Now got to bite the bullet and pack.

We received our room charges statement today. And of course there are drink charges at venues we never drank in. Of course they were zero balance because we never exceeded our total of 10 between us Diamond plus drinks. Also I. Am signature in casino. 
 

We went to guest services and they immediately fixed the problem and removed them. So always check your statement. 
 

For us it did not matter. But just wanted to share the wealth. 
 

 

[Lionesss]

Currently in suite lounge there is 6 children and  8 adults. One concierge. 
 

Waiting for the rush. 
 

The reason we came before Happy Hour is we needed our airline boarding tickets printed. 
 

The service was great. And all deserve the extra tips. 
I know it is a gray area but everyone should give what they are comfortable with. 
 

People watching now before dinner.

SADFACE

 

Luggage filled. Locked. Tags on. Outside cabin. 
 

Marva left us a four leaf clover for tonight. 
 

 

 

Dinner in CK was veal chop, potatoes, Caesar Salad.  Well prepared. 
 

Concierge printed air line boarding tickets. 
 

We have to meet in champagne lounge by 8:15 to be lead off the ship. (Suites, Pinnacles). 
 

I will post closing thoughts once I have time to collect my thoughts.

Ahhh,

sad to see you packed and ready to go home.

Really hate this part of cruising, when it's time to go home.

Thank you for taking your time to do these posts and photos.

We really enjoyed it.

Safe travels home.

Message from RCI. 
 

I wish all correspondence was via text messages. Many a tree could be saved. 
 

 

 

I got this, too, and when I got the terminal at 11:55 for my 12:00 appointment, I found the terminal absulutely crowded with people and I doubt they all had 12:00 appointments. We went through 3 stops and nobody asked for my passport or set sail pass. They wanted the positive Covid test report that we printed and each scrutinized it. The final lady did look at our vaccination record, too. She then directed us to the sign that said "To Ship" which was the best news we could get. All the "don't be early, don't be late" instructions were ignored by most people, I think. I was on the Allure for the July 23 - 31 cruise and enjoyed the Allure very much.

Are you sure it wasn't the negative covid report that they wanted to see?

[perfect match]

Thanks for this great report, Sue. I enjoyed cruising along with you. 

[JupiterTwo]

Thanks for this review!

 

My wife and I just today booked an Owner's Suite on the Allure for April 16, 2023 out of Galveston. It will be our 25th wedding anniversary on the cruise.

 

It's also our first cruise since COVID-19, our last cruise being a B2B on the Enchantment of the Seas in January 2020.

 

I haven't been on a ship larger than the Liberty of the Seas, so we're looking forward to finally getting to experience the larger ships.

Good morning for the last time here on the Allure in Fort Lauderdale. 
Enjoying breakfast in CK. 
 

Saying goodbye at 8 am to our home for the week. 
 

Final comments and closure will be posted by Monday. Long travel day ahead. 
 

Pray for our safe journey. 
 

Sue.
