Cruise1

We're just back from a jammed packed week aboard the Allure of the Seas, the largest ship sailing the 'seven seas' at this point. It travels with over 8,000 passengers and crew, but after that first day, you'd never know it. Everybody finds their own way over the 17 decks, 5 pools, many restaurants, bars, the three floors of the Adagio diningroom and 7 distinct neighborhoods like Central Park, the Boardwalk, the Royal Promenade, the Sports Deck, Vitality Spa, Casino Royale and the Kids Area. Amazingly, my only real complaint was that there was just too much to do, while at sea or at any of our three ports of call: Labadee, Falmouth Jamaica and Cozumel, Mexico. Over the next few days, I'll take you along and attempt to give you the feel of my last seven days.
Come on aboard.
Bon Voyage!

  3. I am prone to sea sickness ...... just walking around on dry land. I really am.
    But, I don't feel a thing on these very large ships. Slight, slight movement or none at all.
    (well, there might be some other reasons I don't feel a thing....but whatever.)
    No seasick pills here!

  4. Having been successful at avoiding cruise ships (with the exception of smaller gambling ships) I cannot imagine being on such a vessel as you describe, and therefore will look forward to seeing your photos over the next several days/weeks/months.

  11. The river cruises that I have taken have a small fraction of the number of guests that your ship had. I'm pretty sure that a big cruise ship is not for me, but I will suspend final judgment until your pix are shown.

  15. Sorry Birdman, sailing on the ocean, scary in itself, but along with 8000 other people, no way, that just wouldn't happen..but I'm very happy to share your sea tales :)
