We awake on our final full day in Florida. We are slow to get going today and we plan on taking it easy as yesterday was a long old day.After breakfast we head to Seaworld's water park called Aquatica. It was not overly busy and we soon found a spot on the man made beach in front of Big Surf Shores which is one of 2 giant wave making pools. We sunbathe for a little while and then cool off on the various water rides. I don't enjoy the tube style rides and ...

It's lovely and quiet where we are and the birds don't seem as loud and chirpy as back home, although there does seem to be a pigeon intent on waking the neighbourhood with its throaty caw (or is that a coo?).No rush this morning.

In view of this we slightly curtail our plans and decide to head to Seaworld and then go to the movies this afternoon. If it's raining outside I'd rather be inside.We head to Seaworld, via Denny's, where the skies are blue and the temperatures are soaring. Could...

After a restless night I awoke when it was still dark at about 4am. I peeked through the cabin curtains and I could see the unmistakable orange glow of civilisation in the distance, a sure sign we were close to Fort Lauderdale. I drifted back to an uneasy sleep and awoke a few hours later and Allure had docked. We quickly showered and headed down to breakfast for the last time in the main dining room. The elevators we already full of people ready to disembark and...
