Cruisin and Boozin

Dinner 10/3/22 Coastal kitchen: filet night filet was so tender you really didn’t need a knife!sides: Escargot And then i was surprised with a song And cake to celebrate my birthday. The entire crew and even other patrons joined in to sing . I was very impressed!! Red velvet cake Romina our genie is very sneaky with the celebrations and I loved it so much!

@MattG 6 inches approximately.

Special update: We were able to get more information as to why we never had heard from any of the genies or received the questionnaire and the problem was that Royal didn’t have my correct email . I just would like to make clear it was never anything the genies had done. I now understand if that happens again how to connect before sailing.

Labadee was fantastic! Great weather awesome meal at barefoot beach! When we returned to ship we found this:wow genie Romina can really make things special . Above and beyond the call of duty

Monday 10-3-22 We are in Labadee today!

Dinner Sunday nightbest bread on ship scallops lobster thermidor this was the worst thermidor we have ever had. 3 small pieces barely any lobster mostly mushrooms Lamb Wellington fried cheesecake

Sunday lunch Izumi

Sunday 10-2-22 sitting in a cabana in suite sun deck. The ocean is so smooth it feels like we are sitting still. Lunch today will be Izumi sushi and 150 Central Park tonight for dinner.

Saturday was great. The day started out with boarding we arrived by 9:30 which was an hour before our boarding time. Zipped right away to the waiting area for our genie. We never had to show our boarding passes or covid cards. During checkin they scanned only our passports. This is our 5th cruise since restart and the fastest easiest so far. lunch: We had lunch in coastal kitchen. Then was our sail away toast . Below picture of sisters toastingDinner was in MDR Jamaican pork chop Sister says it wasn’t good escargot…very good Crab cakes were the best. Sorry no picture of Prime rib but I thoroughly enjoyed it. I’ll try to get better with pictures. We watched Ocean-aria the Aqua show from our balcony. It just didn’t hold a candle to Oasis Aqua Show.

The crew are mask free as of today!!!

We are board and in our suite.

It’s boarding day. We are so ready to get aboard the Allure of seas.. more later

Old Heidelberg in Ft. Lauderdale was dinner tonight and where the above pictures are from.

We have arrived in Ft. Lauderdale. No issues with weather in traveling. Next step ….tomorrow is ship day!

The ladies have completed our nails.

Well where do I began? Let’s just say we thought all was well not having to worry with pre cruise testing. Turns out that was nothing. Up pops hurricane Ian. Now I have new things to worry about. Looks like over night stay on Thursday will now be changed because we don’t want to be in the path of that bad boy! Just hope driving on Friday in Florida to get to Ft. Lauderdale is clear. Watching James van Fleet very intently.

Happy cruise day! Enjoy the sailing.

Glad your mom is ok!

Watching the storms that are brewing. Safe travels and have an excellent cruise.

Glad you were able to locate it and it wasn’t lost.

Enjoy the cruise! Following along.

Update the genie is out of bottle! We have heard from Smitha and she will be leaving for vacation so we will have genie ……Romina!

Today is 19 days away. Still no email from genie. I had travel agent to contact royal again today they said give it till Thursday and call back if we haven’t heard from the genie. Well I can’t wait so I took it upon myself to reach out to the concierge by email and with in an hour they replied that I soon should hear from a genie. Fingers crossed
