Royal Caribbean, Allure of the Seas! Join us for our latest adventure, a 3 night sailing on the 6th largest cruise ship in the world! We are so excited to share this vlog series as we set sail on the Allure. This mega ship has so much to offer, and with a stop at Perfect Day At Coco Cay, we could not think of a better way to weekend cruise! Day 3 was our Perfect Day At Coco Cay stop! We absolutely love Coco Cay, and we're excited to share a new experience as a family this trip. But first, breakfast! We headed to Windjammer and enjoyed a number of buffet offerings. The variety of items always impresses us from the traditional fare, such as bacon, eggs, and sausage to the fresh fruit and pastries. We recommend dining early to avoid the crowds. We made our way off the ship and found the Liberty of the Seas was docked next to us. There were photo stops and Bahamian dancers welcoming us as we headed to the island for Thrill Waterpark. We were more than ready for a perfect day! Once inside the waterpark, we explored a bit and found some loungers near the wave pool. Slides were on our agenda, and we tackled Splash Summit right away. Twister, Slingshot, and Tailspin were thrilling slides. The mat racing slides at Splash Speedway were a favorite of Keagan's. Wait times were much lower early in the day. Keagan braved Daredevil's Peak and a few other slides in the tower. Daredevil's Peak is the tallest waterslide in North America at 135 feet! The wave pool was lots of fun, and we never found it overly crowded. We were able to lounge and relax in between activities. For a special treat, we enjoyed some family-friendly drinks. The Coco Loco and Pina Coladas were delicious! We grabbed lunch at the Snack Shack. Menu items include burgers, hot dogs, salads, chicken sandwiches, mozarella sticks, fruits, and the most delicious chocolate caramel brownies! We loved the convenience of the quick service dining within the waterpark. Weather was starting to turn, so we headed back to the ship after a very full day. Until next time, Coco Cay! Samba Grill was on our agenda for dinner. This Brazilian steakhouse was a great way to spend our final dinner onboard. A variety of starters were offered in the buffet, including charcuterie, veggies, salads, breads, and side items such as potato salad. We learned later in the meal that the fruits and mango passionfruit mousse were some of the dessert offerings. We were served a breadbasket as well as a tray of items such as empanadas, fried bananas, and yucca fries. Once we were ready for meat, we flipped our green light card over. We were served bacon wrapped chicken, sausage, filet mignon, lamb, top and bottom sirloin, short rib, and pork. We enjoyed most everything, but the bottom sirloin, bacon wrapped chicken, and filet were the most favorite. For dessert, we had more mousse as well as the flan and rum cake (Brielle was disappointed to learn that the alcohol was not cooked out). We would have loved to see a more kid friendly dessert for her, but overall, our dining experience was fantastic, and we would certainly have Samba Grill again! The final evening of any cruise always seems to fly by quickly. We were super excited to watch Blades, the ice skating show at Studio B. We had great seats and thought the skaters were incredibly talented. There were so many fun acts, and from our seats, we were up close and personal several times with the performers. This show is a must-do on Allure! We share our final morning in the vlog with breakfast at Windjammer. One of our disembarkation day traditions is sharing our cruise highlights. We collectively loved the shows. The kids enjoyed the activities, particularly the rock wall and ice skating, as well as the waterpark. One thing is certain, we would love to sail on another Oasis Class ship (or Icon class) in the future! While we did not vlog the disembarkation process, we do recommend packing patience. Elevators proved a challenge, and we found the process a little confusing. Perhaps it was because this was our first mega ship sailing! We have some upcoming cruises we are excited to share with you! We certainly hope you enjoyed the vlog as we enjoyed sharing our day with you! Onward to our next adventure! 00:00 Introduction 01:02 Breakfast at WindJammer 03:16 Perfect Day at Cocco Cay 04:44 Thrill Waterpark 07:43 Snack Shack at Thrill WaterPark 09:34 Diner at Samba Grill 16:46 Ice Show: Blades
