Creator's Key Takeaways
It was a good day today. Um, I can't even tell you what I did. Oh, I had lunch at I showed you I had lunch at Chops.
The seaweed is not bad at all today. When last time I was here, it just really really stunk and you can see it all over. But it's not bad at all right now.
It's been a long 20 days, so I um I'm looking forward to going home, but I'm having a great time.

Allure of the Seas after dry dock — what actually changed? I cruised right after the updates to see what’s different (and what’s not). From new spaces to small changes you might miss, here’s the real experience onboard after dry dock. Welcome back to Barely Packed! In this episode, I take you along days 3- 6 aboard the newly revamped Allure of the Seas, fresh out of dry dock. There are layout changes, venue updates, new spaces, and refreshed areas all over the ship — and I explore them throughout the vlog. This video covers everything from Day 3 through disembarkation, including: 🛠️ Post–Dry Dock Ship Changes: • New Crown Lounge location • Vitality Café moved to the Promenade • Changes in the spa space • Mason Jar addition • And more little updates I discovered along the way! 🌴 Port Days: • Full walk-through of Costa Maya (seaweed update, shops, pool area, and tips) • Rainy-day adventure in Cozumel and how plans changed 🍽️ Food & Drinks: • Chops Grille lunch (the filet + warm chocolate cake = heaven) • Giovanni’s lunch in Central Park • Frozen cocktails at Pesky Parrot • Breakfast in the main dining room • Updated Vitality Café protein shakes 🎭 Shows & Activities: • Aqua 80's Too • Ice Show • Exploring Studio B during the behind-the-scenes tour • Attempting Mamma Mia (…mostly 😅) If you're curious about what Allure looks like after dry dock, how the refreshed spaces feel, or what’s changed, this vlog gives you a full real-life walkthrough while cruising along. 💙 Join the Barely Packed Crew!
