Cruise tips
Since I had visited Malaga two days on a previous cruise and did all the touristy stuff to include a horse drawn tour and visiting the museums, this time I was on a personal mission to purchase honey rum. Mission accomplished!
Trying to beat the midnight travel ban. Spain became a no travel country the next day.

Allure of the Seas
Make sure you take photos from the public balcony on deck 9 near the elevators. There is no signage. Just a heavy door.

Empress of the Seas
If you should encounter a problem whether it be a staff person or your cabin, seek out the Guest Services Manager to address and resolve the concern immediately. Do not wait until you disembark and provide comments in a post survey. Staff truly wants to resolve the concern tothe satisfaction of the Guest but that is not always possible. At least staff had an a opportunity to do right by you.
Use the free Duval Loop bus service for self-guided tours. It works like the hop-on-hop off bus but it’s FREE!
Take the Belize City By Carriage on your own. This excursion costs $65 per person for adults through the ship. However, if you get off the ship and walk towards the “mall” you will encounter lots of locals vying for your attention. We found a tour company (Seasationalbelize.com) inside that offered us the same tour as a Horse & Buggy tour for $25 per person. The tour guide was knowledgeable and a history buff. It was a great tour and we did not have to wait on a group.
Perfect Day At Coco Cay, Bahamas
Nice private island. The hot air balloon was grounded because of strong winds.
Cape Liberty (Bayonne), New Jersey
While docked at Cape Liberty for two nights because of inclement weather, it provided the opportunity to visit the small park that has the Tears of Grief Memorial. It’s a tear drop sculpture that was given to the U.S.A. by Russia as a memorial to victims of the September 11, 2001 attack. 26-Russians were lost in the attack.
Cape Liberty (Bayonne), New Jersey
Embarkation was a breeze!
Not crazy about being tendered.

Anthem of the Seas
No formal attire necessary since there was not one formal night on this 9-night cruise. The new dress code is "Wear your best. It's time to shine - your way."
