Cruising the Western Caribbean on the Allure of the Seas

As I’ve mentioned previously, I was away on an Atlantis cruise through the Western Caribbean this past week.  This was the first time I’d ever been on a cruise and the Royal Caribbean’s Allure of the Seas is one of the largest and nicest cruise ships available. The ship can hold more than 5,000 passengers and has more than 2,000 crew.

Overall, I enjoyed the vacation. Aside from the parties Atlantis hosted which resemble giant Pride events, I loved taking midnight dips in the jacuzzi on the 15th deck, taking naps in my room while listening to the crash of the waves, and traveling with the large group of friends who joined me and my partner.

During our trip I was able to see some hilariously funny and well put together shows (thanks to Atlantis Events).  I’ll talk more about the entertainment in another post but suffice it to say – there was a bit of something for everyone.

While I had no desire to sign up for one of Atlantis many upcoming  cruises (notably New Zealand and Australia in 2013), I’d consider going on another in the future, depending on the destination and the friends planning the trip.

  3. It sounds like a good time! BTW, did they ever find that overboard passenger on the gay cruise in the Gulf?
