Shrek Takes On Mickey: The Dreamworks Experience Aboard Allure of the Seas 9/18-25

Hi Ron and Jen,

I know you had your banner aft at sailaway, we won't have a banner. But....... If we want to watch the sailaway from one of the public aft areas - which would be best?

 

[iloverags2]

You would not believe the things we had to do on the Monarch to get one of those stinkin' medals!

Wow, all those hot dog choices...sheesh! Actually, I would go for a brat if I still ate meat. They look delish!

 

[JKSWonder]

I know why I love your TRs. Because Savannah and Ally are definitely sisters from different misters!!! I swear, are you and I related? Because just looking at pics of Savannah, she dresses like Ally, poses like Ally, you name it! Even she likes looking at your photos because she comments on Savannahs clothes!!! And it looks like you have a Justice shopper, too?

Anyway, loving all the pics and the info.......

Ah, Justice. That's where you'll find me every Fall and Spring buying the clothes my Allison insists upon.

I'm starting to become afraid that soon she will start requesting that we visit Aeropostale. So far, she hasn't asked, but I've seen multiple girls from her school wearing the clothes so I figure it's only a matter of time.

Bwahahahahah!

Oh most definitely! I'm telling you we just HAVE to cruise together someday because those two would just LOVE each other!!

I wish we were going to be in O when you guys are down next month, but our first trip back over there won't be until January.

And I don't think we are going to do Disney at all until MNSSHP next year. Can't believe we are going to try and hold out that long. We'll see if I can actually do it.

But yeah..Justice, oh yeah. We took SAvannah and her friend to the mall last week..omg, Savannah is a shopper like me-she knows what she wants and moves quickly- but add another girl to the mix ..man they were in there literally over an hour. Poor Brendan was with us too. He took it like a champ!!!

Anyway, loving all the pics and the info.......

Thanks girl!

Another faithful reader here .... where are you on the Shrek vs. Mickey tally? I've lost count.

LOL, I had to scrap the actual tally. it was getting too hard to actually compare some things. Suffice it to say that overall Shrek has the edge. It's just that amazing of a ship.

Still plenty of comparison and contrast to come though. Shrek could learn a thing or two from Mickey when it comes to the character meet & greet department. But one thing I love, love, LOVED- no autographs!
LOL, more on that forthcoming. Thanks for reading!!

Really enjoying your review on the Allure of the Sea vs Disney Cruise Line... Looking forward to reading more...
Thank you

Thanks so much, I'm so glad you are finding it interesting! Lots of good stuff to come from this amazing ship!!

Hi Ron and Jen,

I know you had your banner aft at sailaway, we won't have a banner. But....... If we want to watch the sailaway from one of the public aft areas - which would be best?

Aah, good question. If you want to be able to see and hear the Sailaway party, then stay as close as you can to it. Deck 11 was good but still way high up. It was hard to see a lot of the show and nearly impossible to hear the parts of it that weren't music. There's some room on Deck 7 near the rock walls- I think it's open then, normally it is the actual rock wall climber's area- if you want to be closer. If it is between decks 11,12, and 14 I'd say 11 since it has the widest and largest overlook. It's also more likely to have others there with you. We noticed about half as many people above us on 12 and then nobody on 14's overlook. The top deck is nuts, as are the "wings" sundeck overlook forward.

And of course you'll have to stay port side to be seen on the camera!

I'm not sure what we are doing the day you leave but I will for SURE try to watch you sail away!!!

You would not believe the things we had to do on the Monarch to get one of those stinkin' medals!

LOL, oh I know, and we haven't actually seen Quest yet so I can only imagine!!!

Savannah came home with like 9 of them, mostly gold but some silver and some bronze.

Brendan got about 3 or 4 also!

And yes, even Sarah got one!

Wow, all those hot dog choices...sheesh! Actually, I would go for a brat if I still ate meat. They look delish!

Oh they were tasty! But I've got some really awesome vegetarian food porn coming up too (as well as more carnivorous shots as well)!

Ah, Justice. That's where you'll find me every Fall and Spring buying the clothes my Allison insists upon.

I'm starting to become afraid that soon she will start requesting that we visit Aeropostale. So far, she hasn't asked, but I've seen multiple girls from her school wearing the clothes so I figure it's only a matter of time.

Oh yes, we've already made the jump to Hollister and Abercrombie too!

I'll tell you what though Hollister has some pretty good sales sometimes. And I like Aeropostale too myself!

LOL, oh you haven't seen the Cupcake Cupboard yet!!! Just wait!!!

Cupcake Cupboard?! Please tell me that the cupcakes are horrible and overpriced

 

[nenner1]

Haha! Sorry! They were amazingly delicious...and...imo- reasonably priced. ($2.75 for the big ones).

The girls did a cupcake decorating class too - that is coming up as well!!

Awww, thanks! I hope you get to see our sailaway! In case you can pick us out of all the other ants, we will have red shirts on and will be waving like a couple of crazy people. Nov 19 - mark your calendar!

I do feel like I know you guys. I am always telling dh, well Jen and Ron say this and Jen and Ron say that!

Anyhoo, we always go forward and that is what dh wants to do but I think aft would be cool to see Fort Lauderdale fade in the distance. He seems to agree, saying we can go aft on the Oasis and when we do the Allure (?!) we can go forward. My plan is to be aft and stand NEXT to someone with a banner so the camera zooms in on us.

Bwahahahahah!

FOTS, 3/24/13 Eastern.....

My fave restaurant!

Central Park is just so beautiful! Can you imagine if it had been left as the original design: just a plain rolling hill?
wow your REALLY did your homework! i didnt know that

To get into Nassau, there is along walkway up the pier. They have fixed this up a bit since the last time I was here. They have divided the walkway into a pedestrian side, (this one with the coverings), and one side for shuttles and golf carts. Of course people wanted to walk on the uncovered shuttle side, LOL.
which no one obides by.. or at least not on our Nassau day LOL


So we kept going and found ourselves at Senor Frogs, can you believe the bar wasn’t open yet? It was 10 AM! Ha!
WHAT were they thinking, if that was us and we didnt have the kids they would have made a killing LOL

We went straight up to AO to get the kids. Sarah shows off the envelope she made to hold all of her crafts she makes in the club this week:

HOLD UP.. is Sarah showing that Michael Jackson was in the kids club!... yup thats got to be him,. cuz his hand dont know if they are black or white

We headed down to the Boardwalk Dog House for lunch (after a quick stop for drinks in Park Café. You have to be coordinated like that, remember!).
another free one im guessing right?

What good is ford porn without wiener pictures?
you said porn, and wiener but all looks like a yummy treat

Buns?!?!? We don’t need no stinking Buns!
I say that all the time, but im usually refering to the ones on my body lol

I thought the movie itself was not too bad. I didn‘t fall asleep and that is more than I can say for other movies I’d seen onboard cruise ships(*cough*Wall-E*cough cough*).
oh yeah im not the only one. i napped through beverly hills chiwowwa (sp? lol)

Cupcake Cupboard?! Please tell me that the cupcakes are horrible and overpriced

oh this would so be my breakfast stop!

Feel better soon! There is a lot of "gunk" going around so take your time and heal fully (as a mom that's kind of impossible but try).
