Back Home

What a trip - all good from start to finish. Disney fantastic, meeting up with our US friends, all our stops on the Gulf Coast great. Weather was the best. 30 mins rain since end Feb, temp over 30C until we reached Spain. We had infinity coming out of ears - pools at St Pete &  Cape Coral. The cantilever spa on deck 15 of the Allure & the pool on the roof of the Barca hotel. It was spooky with my vertigo 9 floors up! Not as frightening as the Allure. I am not talking about climbing the wall, surfing, ice skating or the zip wire I did. It was on deck 6 standing by the merry-go-round. Under the zip 10 floors above - just imagine a brave soul, shorts, going commando & having an involuntary bowel movent. Can you imagine the spray pattern. The Allure was some ship. The public areas were superb. Central Park was planted with trees & flowers, inc birds & was lined with great restaurants, a nice cafe, tapas bar, Italian, super steak house & 6 course top chef place. Below this was the promenade, 3 floors open to glass roofs in Central park, shops, restairants, bars including one that climbed the 3 floors to Central Park. Then there is boardwalk on deck 6 open to sky and back of ship. Set up like a fairground, carousel, bars, fast food, Mexican & water theatre. Well equipped as well, every cabin was equipped with a device that could see into the future - open the fridge and you could see drinks prices from 2024. Wow!
