Allure of the Seas Feb 2016 - Post Cruise

Feb 28, 2016
Ft Lauderdale, FL

As per usual, we dilly-dallied getting off the boat.  And we were among the last to be called anyway, since we weren't leaving FL till the next day.

Went for breakfast and then got off the boat around 10am.  Got a porter in the terminal (we will be doing that from now on!) who was able to by-pass the long carry off line to go through customs.  We were in a cab in about 30 mins!


Got to the hotel - Hyatt Regency Pier 66.  Of course our room wasn't ready, but we packed our suits in our carry on bag and just checked our suitcases.  Then headed out to the pool area.  Was a gorgeous pool and grounds and we were quite happy.  Sat at the pool, went for a swim and checked emails and texts and caught up with the rest of the world.

Room was ready about 4pm (they sent me a text - I love that!) and we decided to go get settled there.  The rooms were a bit old - I think we were in the older part of the hotel.  The door to the patio was tough to open, the track seemed like it needed some WD40! 


After relaxing in the room for a bit, we showered and napped and then went to walk around the marina.  There are some serious yachts around there - wow!! We ran into a nice gentleman who was telling us about what famous people owned which ones.  (He has made it a bit of a hobby he said)  We ended up at an outdoor bar/restaurant called The Pelican, which had cool views of the 17th street bridge, the intercoastal and all of the amazing boats in the marina.


We walked off dinner some more around the marina and headed back to the room to relax.  Had to be up and out by 8 as we had a 10am flight home :(

Allure of the Seas - Day 4

Allure of the Seas

Feb 24, 2016
Falmouth, Jamaica

Laurie and I got up and headed up for breakfast - since it was a port day and we didn't have any plans, we were not on a schedule.  

Headed off into the port of Falmouth - I like this port for shopping.  I get all the kids their t-shirts and any souvenirs here as its a huge gated port that pretty much has everything, including a straw market where locals sell handmade items.

We walked around a bit, stopping here and there to shop.  Got some beautiful necklaces for Mom and Ruth at work.  Then decided to circle back to a place we had passed earlier so I could get my hair braided.  I got the whole top half done and it was in probably less than an hour.

After that, we headed back to the ship for some pool time and lunch.

We stayed up there till it was about 5.30 then back to the room to relax and shower and get ready for Happy Hour :)

Met Bob and Deb at the Champagne Bar for our pre-dinner drinks, which was good as always.  It was getting a bit busier there, so I think the word was catching on on the ship that it had good drinks and a good staff!

After dinner we had the Headliner Show - which was a magician/comedian who was very entertaining! (his name was John Joseph)

When the show was over, we went for our nightly lap around the walking track on Deck 5 - then off to bed as tomorrow was a sea day; so we had to be up early!)
