The Sea Days are my favorite part of a cruise. There is nothing in the world more relaxing than looking out over the ocean. You never know what you'll see. You may only see the waves of the ocean, But you may see another ship passing and wonder where it's going, or porpoises riding the wake of the ship, or a little island passing by, or the first glimpse of your next port. Just a wonderful feeling.

Congratulations, Shari. Keep up the great work. Always love your posts.

I also read reviews but do not let them steer me in any direction. I get a kick out of how one little thing can ruin a whole cruise for some people. No cruise will be perfect. I just go with the flow and try to let it roll off of me.

Bon Voyage, Jan! Have a great cruise. Let us know how it was when you return home.

How do you get the stripper on board?

That's what my balcony is for.

Just watched a couple of Love Boats on my Iphone in the last week. There are full episodes on YouTube.

This will make a great National Geographic TV show. I look forward to seeing it.

It's good to hear that some cruise lines are responsive to their clients. Enjoy the cabin credit.

"A Simple Evening At Sea" by CruiseMiss

Hello all my fellow cruisers,
My friend Bill and I just returned from a cruise on the Allure. I just wanted to experience that large ship. It is a mammoth ship, twice as large as most of the mega ships on the sea. My favorite feature was Central Park, such a nice place to go sit and relax and people watch or just hang out. It seemed like there was less people there than anywhere else on the ship. The Boardwalk and the Promnade was also awesome. This ship truly has some unique features you don't see on all the other ships. We found the food to be great, we ate most all our meals either in the Dining room or at the Windjammer on Lido Deck. We choose not to eat at the other optional venues as they were so expensive. All of the entertainment was great except the broadway musical "Chicago" we found it to be disgusting because of all the foul language. Our favorite was the water show "Ocean Aria", next was "Blue Planet and then the Ice Games. All the shore excursions were nice but average. My one bad experience was pre-purchasing the "photo book" I ended up with a book with multiple repeats of pictures. You are suppose to be able to go to the kiosk and choose your pictures for each page but thaey only give you limited pictures to choose from. As a result I ended up replacing half of the pictures when I got home. Embarkation and Debarkation was very organized and went smooth, especially for such a large ship. After returning to Ft.Laudredale we took a shore excursion to see all the Million dollar mansions on the sea channels...that was amazing and I never knew such exisited. I would recommend you try it if you like big ships..it truly was amazing.

Absolutely no surprise. We all know that these are the anomalies.

The perks are great! Come and enjoy. We just love new members,

The port guides are great, Carole. Thanks much.

Great story, Jan. Sorry about the missed excursion, but cruises are about the memories. Hopefully many more good ones than bad.

Air prices are all a crap-shoot anyway. I book whenever I see a price that I think is a good price. After booking, I never look again and I'm never disappointed.

All great ports. St. Lucia is our favorite island.

thank you! and yes, I have noticed this board is WAY friendlier than others out there I am looking forward to be able to converse and ask questions without fear now! lol

Shoes? Who needs shoes?

That's great. Congrats on the booking. Enjoy the anticipation.

Welcome to CruiseCrazies, girlygirl. It's great having you with us. Please post often.

Sorry. Not in 2013. We have a cruise booked for April 2013 already with a group of friends. I feel bad because our Connie Goes Crazy cruise was one of our best.
