Oh what a trip we had on the biggest ship in the world!
The beautiful Allure of the seas!
1,187 feet long, 208 feet wide!
6,296 guests and 2,165 crew members!
The Allure has 7 neighborhoods, and the first one we stopped at was the Boardwalk!
We had a hot dog and a beer.....
and kept a close eye on the merry-go-round.....we were dying to ride, but waited until later for that experience!
We wandered along the boardwalk taking in all the sights!
Glancing up to view the zip line
Stopping by to have our fortunes told.....
Eventually we made it our muster station for the lifeboat drill....all we were missing is a frosty drink!
After the drill was completed....
We hustled down to the second neighborhood, the grand promenade, for our welcome aboard parade!
Shrek and Fiona were the grand marshals!
We watched the rising tide bar go up and down 4 decks, as we sat in the schooner bar...
The schooner bar turned out to be one of our favorite spots! Great for people watching!!
The next day was a sea day, with lots of great events, Like watching Ice skating in the early afternoon.
and attending the Water show after dinner.....
A walk down the boardwalk after dinner in the dark of night was just spectacular!
I really want to ride that merry go round NOW! but have to wait...
The Aqua theater was amazing with acrobatics, high divers, and wonderful special effects!
Walking back to our room, those are balcony's on the sides, and my merry-go- round in the foreground! Too tired to ride now...off to beddy by!
The next day We landed in Labadee for a day of fun and sun!
We swam , ate , and drank Laberdoozies!
We took our sunburned selves out for a pre-dinner glass of wine and Vintages wine bar In Central park, the 3rd neighborhood...
Central park has beautiful art....
Lots of restaurants
and shady spots just for the ambiance.....
Later we went to the theater for a Broadway show....
Which by the way, is the 4th neighborhood!
Chicago was more than awesome!
Jill and I with a selfi! After all I was the only one taking pictures...I had to prove that I was actually on this ship!!!!
after our dinner and show, we rode the glass elevators up to our room.....Michael and I were off to bed, but the kids stayed up for the nightlife...
Loved the dress sculptures!!
Jamaica was our next port, and we stopped off for some rum punch and the boys smoked Cuban cigars........
A toast to a wonderful snack of some local fried plantain chips, and an amazing dip! ( not sure what was in it, but we ate it anyway! ) Gawd...we're brave!
Lots of local color as we walked back to the ship...
We did not, however, stop in this local grocery store....( not that I didn't want to, but Michael physically restrained me! )
Loved this fresh coconut stand!
The back of the ship from the port.....This is where we saw the Aqua show, and the high divers!
Jamaican view..... from our room.....
The Theater once again...... Loved all the shows we saw!
And who doesn't want a tropical punch in our Schooner bar!
Okay...Okay...... enough of the selfies!
Everyone had to have their picture taken!!!
Chris, Jill, Michael, and the cutest Giraffe!
These adorable kids had their face painted.....I think the boardwalk was our favorite place....you meet the nicest people!
The dog house had the best hotdogs, Pinwheels was a children's shop and candy store...
The rock wall was very popular.....I was gonna climb to the top and ring the bell, but the line was too long....NOT!!
And who could resist the Cotton candy and Popcorn!
I ......FINALLY..... got my ride on this wonderful Merry-go-round!!
I felt like I was a kid again!
Jill and Chris had fun too.....I had to drag them off the horses!
another selfie.....I'm getting good at these!
Cozumel Mexico was a blast! We booked a private day at a beach resort, and went snorkeling
This was jills first trip!
My mother always said if I didn't get out of the water....I would turn into a fish!
Who knew.....
Chris diving, and me trying to dive!
Michaels lazed around on the beach...getting a tan...
And Chris took advantage of the open bar.....
This is where he ended up after 6 dirty monkey frozen drinks!
We made it back to the ship......I wonder which one is ours!
Another sea day, and Lunch at Johnny Rockets!
They make Killer milkshakes...
But ...my hot fudge sundae.....well......nuff said!
The waiters entertained us....I was dancing on the far left....grin
And we watched the zip liners as we walked along...
This ship had 5 pools!
fifth neighborhood!
Central park below......
On the last night we watched an awesome show called Blue Planet.
All of the entertainers from all the shows took part...and we all were amazed by the aerials, acrobatics, and of course the special effects! WOW
Just spectacular!
All good things though, come to end ........
I love the sea.......I love traveling.....I love being with my family
Life is good.....
Thanks Jill and Chris...we had a blast!
