An "Alluring" Time Had by All - Day 5

We didn't feel like getting off on Cozumel, so we used that port day to try all the onboard adventure activities. No lines, no waiting! First up, we tried the zip line. Yes, you can actually zip line on the Allure. The zip line goes across on Deck 15, 9 deck above the Boardwalk. It was a little scary, but we both had a blast.

Next up was the FlowRider. I had never actually tried the FlowRider up until this trip. We actually joined a group lesson, which gave us the opportunity to ride a bunch of times within an hour. Brianne thought it looked so cool, she wanted to try. But she didn't meet the heigh requirement, so she had to settle with watching us. The water comes out of the FlowRider at 30,000 gallons a minute, so if she tried to get on, it probably would have shot her right off the ship.


Of course, Mr. Athelete Marty got up on his first try. By the end of the hour, he could have taught private lessons! I tried it too, and almost got a concussion. I didn't do too bad, and look forward to trying it again!

Later that day, we went to the family carnival, which was held on the Boardwalk. Here is Brianne and Mimi getting ready to watch the circus, which was actually performed by kids in the Adventure Ocean program. Very cool!


They had all kinds of carnival games, balloon animals, face painting, guys on stilts... it was awesome!
