Allure of the Seas

June 2011

The Ship

The world's largest cruise ship was the scene of the Levy-Solomons summer vacation.  Everything about this ship is big, from its size (230,000 tons, 9,000 passengers and crew) to its cost (1.5 Billion dollars).  There are activities for every age and interest, and there are so many restaurants that you would need a three week cruise to try them all.

The Gang

Pat and Lew were joined by  Margaret and  Mark , Monica and Mike, and Johnny and Katie for an ocean adventure.  The pictures below show the Levy-Solomons clan enjoying the diverse entertainment options on the Allure.  You may notice that we seem to be eating a lot.

The Islands

Our cruise visited three ports in the Eastern Caribbean - Nassau, St. Thomas, and St. Martin.  These islands are hard to tell apart.  St. Martin would have the most appeal, but not by much.  You can tell you are in St. Martin because the tee shirts for sale on the pier are in French and Dutch.
