Allure Of The Sea Leaves Fort Lauderdale

Allure of the Sea Leaves Fort Lauderdale

Royal Caribbean Allure of the Sea is a beautiful and grand cruise that leaves Fort Lauderdale's port most Sunday afternoons.

My wife and I went to a local Italian restaurant, Franco and Vinnys - Pizza Shack, which is on Sunrise Blvd and and near A1A.  I used to go to this restaurant in the early 80's and used to really enjoy the homemade meals and decent pizza. So it has been a long time since I have been there, I would give my experience a B+ and the food a B. The waitress was really friendly and she did well. …
