Last Sea Day

Veterans Recognition
Allure of the Seas
July 31, 2026

 The last Sea Day of our cruise was anything but boring.

We had planned a pub crawl with the family, but that got interrupted as we all decided to avail ourselves of the double points that Royal Caribbean was offering for a booking before the end of the day. 

So we have another cruise planed for late-March 2027!

We also attended the moving Veterans Recognition ceremony. It is always good to see how many other brothers and sisters who were in service to our nation are sailing. It almost makes on forget that we are on a ship registered in the Bahamas. 

The World Dessert
Allure of the Seas

We started the pub crawl after the ceremony, but as I wrote, it got interrupted by planning another cruise. We resumed after booking, but in the end we only did about 3 of the 18 bars/pubs on the ship. So we failed pub crawl 101.

Chris and I were excited about dinner at the Chef's Table. It truly was special. The food was perfectly prepared and the wine pairings were perfect. I enjoyed all of the courses, but the dessert was most spectacular. I have never before enjoyed The World, which is Peanut Butter Ganache, Vairhona Chocolate Mousse, and Salted Caramel Gelato. OMG! And when they poured the hot caramel over the chocolate globe, WOW!! Did I mention that it was paired with a Salted Caramel Espresso Martini?

I had to get a video of the big reveal!
