Congratulations Cruisequeen.

You certainly deserve it. And this goes to show that you belong on a Royal ship.

Ps.. this call for an extra Grasshopper while you are cruising.

Thats great ,enjoy . In 2008 we got an upgrade from an outside cabin to a balcony.

Wonderful news. It's always nice to get an unexpected perk. Congrats and enjoy.

Thanks everyone!!!

Hey TM I'll have a few Grasshoppers on the Balcony....

I hope the Allure is fully stocked with Creme De Menthe!!

It would be a disaster if they ran out...

CQ, you should be able to get a Grasshopper at the Diamond Lounge.

Thanks TM....That is a great idea!!!

I'll also have to try a Grasshopper at Bolero's, Dazzles and the nightclub..

I have not had a Grasshopper on the Rising Bar, but hopefully they can make them. I will find out next month.

We were upgraded at the pier, from the cheapest inside to a midships balcony- I liked that!

I think you only get upgraded from the cheapo inside to a balcony is if you have "Queen" in your Cruisemates screen name....

I hope when I get to the pier I still have my Boardwalk balcony and they don't stick me back in the cheapo inside...

I wonder if cruisers ever got downgraded at the pier??

It's time for the ALLUREEEEEEEE

Bon Voyage!

You certainly deserve a great cruise, and the Allure is the best ship (along with the Oasis ) to have one.

Enjoy and have fun.

Have you looked at the sailaways on the Port Everglades site-
Port Everglades Webcam - A Fort Lauderdale Cruise Ship Web Cam Oasis is there on the right this morning.
She will pull out at 5pm.
Your relatives can watch you sail away at 5pm tomorrow. Be on the port side and this webcam will be taking videos of everyone waving!
Your room is in a good location. The aquatheater show is just stunning; it's
the best thing I've ever seen at sea. Get ready to do some serious walking, it is one HUGE ship.

Almost sailaway time....I'll wave for the webcam...

Had lunch on the balcony..

I can't think of a better place to have lunch than a balcony on the Allure.

I like to relax for a bit before bedtime, have a snack and a drink. The balcony is a perfect place for it.

I'm hoping that we can do something together in 2014 or 2015.

I love getting breakfast and bringing it to our balcony! So beautiful out there.

Congrat's on the upgrade!!

thecruisequeen · #24 (**permalink**) April 16th, 2013, 07:37 AM

I'm up by 6am

and some days have coffee on the balcony. With the boardwalk balcony I thought there would always be cruisers on their balconies opposite mine. There were times I was the only one on the balcony. I thought more cruisers would be using their balconies. ALso in the late late night nobody is out on the balcony it's quiet enough you can hear a pin drop.
