I'd also say to judge that based on the size of the excursion group. If it's a real small group, like 10-15 people, I'd book as soon as possible. (provided the cancellation policy is good, as DocLC said)

Larger group sizes mean you can probably wait longer to pull the trigger, but I'd still be careful not to get too close to departure.

Where do you finfd the # of people for each excursion on the RC website? We have 2 booked for our upcoming Allure of the seas Western Carribean sailing.

On the formal nights I will have Khaki pants and a button up shirt or a polo.....NO ties for me lol!

I have this booked for my future cruise, so I can't speak from experience. However, from the research I've done the Bamboo Beach Club sounds like a pretty fantastic spot and I'm looking forward to it. I booked the combo island tour + beach club excursion.

we booked the $74 one....not sure if it has the island tour but I think it does.

I am taking dressy shorts with sperry's and Polo collared shirts.

How liberal is the dress code for the casual and formal nights? I hate wearing ties when I'm on vacation to eat.

Has anyone done this? if so is it worth the $74 price?

My travel agent has reserved a spot with the park n go site which came to around $61 for the week compared to $105 at the port. With the Allure being the only ship there for the May 21st sailing we should be okay as far as time wise getting on and off board. I will save nearly $45 this way.

I am driving down on the Saturday before and staying somewhere. I haven't decided if ill drive close to the port or stay 2-3 hours aaway. I am driving from kentucky.

Thanks your suggestions and info.

My family and I are going on the Allure of the seas this summer and we are going to drive down to Fort Lauderdale. What would be the best option as far as easily getting to the ship between driving in myself or staying at a local hotel and using their shuttle to get to my terminal? I have never been to this port so any help and suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
