Believe it or not, Claire used to be terrified of cruises. Michael somehow convinced her to try one three years ago, and we have enjoyed cruising together ever since! There is hope!
Our favorite cruises have been our 2 Alaska cruises and our 10 day from San Diego to Hawaii Circle Cruise all on RCCL. Celebrity was one of the Alaska cruises, you MUST experience Alaska, We went in September both times and it was awesome weather, shorts weather at most ports except the Glacier.
Hi! I would love some more info on parking lot. Did you just show up & pay for the parking at the end of your cruise or you need reservations??.. TIA.. New terminal and all, I haven’t heard anything about the parking 😊
No you have to reserve your spot. Go to the Port of Galveston website to reserve. The spot that you see in our video is the North Lot Covered parking which was extremely close but limited spaces.
We’ve been on many cruises with different cruise lines, but we love Independence best also. It’s the perfect size. The only Oasis class ship we’ve sailed on was Wonder of the Seas, which was beautiful. Our next trip will be on Ovation of the Seas in June, another class of ship we’re trying for the first time. Love your personalities and especially Claire’s smile. 😊
I do NOT recommend The Key. $490 for a couple on a 7 day cruise and all your getting is a free Chops meal which you can buy for $25pp lunch and I can check all our luggage and it's the same thing. There is a Key line but really we beat people with the key that were in our party onto the ship...we got everything they got for all that money for free as Diamond members, don't think it's worth that.
Thank you so much for sharing your time on Allure of the Seas. I will definitely try Sambas when I set sail this spring. I didn't know how many different meats they serve until this video. It looks like a good restaurant to try.😊
Anime subscriber to your page thank you guys for sharing all the information I know you work hard so people can see what you went through an invocation day looks like there's so many things to do in this ship and I'm hoping that someday I will get to sell in the Allure of the Seas it would I think it would be awesome I'm just curious what did it cost you for a couple to sell on the Allure of the Seas and getting a balcony room will you completely satisfied at all times of service the food machinery the cost
Nice video, I really enjoy your channel. We were on the Allure just before Christmas when the freeze hit. The crew warned us well before it got cold. They worked on covering the plants and trees in Central Park before we got back to Galveston, but looks like the cold got to them. We loved the Allure. don't think we saw all of the ship. we could see the aqua show from our balcony, think my daughter saw every performance.
The aqua show blew us away! It was the highlight of our trip. It also looked like the balconies had a great view of the show. Thank you for your support!
@Claire and Michael we were on Allure in December. I didn't see it then, but since I have watched another TH-cam video that showed it. We will be back on the Allure in May. So I will check to make sure there is one.
Hi Claire and Michael. I'm new here. Watched all of your Grandeur of the Sea Vlog figured I'd check this one out too. We are cruising on the Grandeur in April with my son, his girlfriend and her family. Last time we cruised was on Norwegian Cruise Lines during our honey moon in 1997. Enjoying the videos, thanks for sharing with us!
Very interesting. I’ve been on many classes of ships but have never been on Oasis Class. Reminds me of Quantum Class. I’m looking forward to sea day so I can see more.
We loved Allure, and only wish we had longer than 4 nights aboard her. We have not yet been able to try the Quantum Class, but it is high priority for us to try out!
Booked for Nov 2023. Have never been on a cruise, can’t wait.
That's exciting!
Thanks for sharing!
Love me some packing cubes. Been using them for years.
very helpful to assign a cube for each day.
While I am waiting for the rest of Harmony of the Seas...I'll binge your Allure vlogs! 😉
So trying to convince my wife to go on Allure of the Seas. She has watched one too many Titanic movies sadly. But I am working on her.
Believe it or not, Claire used to be terrified of cruises. Michael somehow convinced her to try one three years ago, and we have enjoyed cruising together ever since! There is hope!
I went on The Harmony of the Seas amazing ship
Allure is nice, excited for Harmony in the fall. It's much nicer.
we're excited about the Harmony as well.
😁 Don't miss 150 in Central Park, best food on the ship.
Definitely will try it out the next time we sail on Allure.
The Allure looks awesome. We haven't been on a cruise in quite a few years. Looking forward to cruising again next month. Enjoying your videos.
Have fun!
Enjoyed watching the video of your first oasis class ship. There our favorite class of ship with RCCL.
We had a great experience and look forward to cruising on more of the Oasis Class!

West coast is on our list...especially Alaska. We were booked for Cabo on Princess in February but canceled it for the Allure cruise.

So if you turn the lights off it gets hot? How do you sleep at night either in the light or it’s hot?! Should we bring sleep masks lol
Haha...no the "master" switch just needs to stay on. you can turn on and off the lights with a separate switch.
Oh good!! Lol I was worried we are going in March wanted to plan accordingly lol

Thank you, this is such a sweet comment! We really want to try the Quantum class, and Ovation seems like an awesome ship.
I’m so excited to watch this as we are going on Allure in May!!
Ah! We hope you love it! Allure is a great ship.

Cruising Lady A for the 4th time next September. She is our favorite Oasis Class ship. Love her! First time in the new Galveston Terminal.
Very nice terminal...easy to get in and out of...north parking lot is super close too.
Was muster still virtual, with a check in at your station?
Yes it was.

Samba was a great experience! Go hungry!

This video is so informative and fun to watch. I am looking forward to my first cruise!
Thank you for watching, and we hope you love your upcoming cruise!
I think there is a plug under the bed by the phone.
we moved the little side table out of the way to look but we could have missed it.
@Claire and Michael we were on Allure in December. I didn't see it then, but since I have watched another TH-cam video that showed it. We will be back on the Allure in May. So I will check to make sure there is one.
Can hardly hear Claire. Love your videos.

Thank you for watching. We hope you enjoy the Grandeur!
Would you be able to tell me how much Giovanni’s is for lunch??
Not sure how much Giovanni's cost. We pre purchased a 3 night dining package for this cruise.
Very interesting. I’ve been on many classes of ships but have never been on Oasis Class. Reminds me of Quantum Class. I’m looking forward to sea day so I can see more.
