re: Day TwoLinda Ruckman Thoroughly enjoyed every part of your blog and would LOVE to travel with you sometime! We are from the Houston area and are planning our first trip on the Allure on Sept. 8th. Although we've cruised many times (usually on Princess and Celebrity), this will be our first venture on Royal Caribbean! Thank you for documenting your fabulous 2-week trip!
