Welcome to the Railroom blog podcast, your we look into the world of Royal Caribbean cruising.

I'm your house, Matt Hodgeberg, and this is episode of 40070.

This week, we're recording live on Allure of the Seas, giving you a look at what it's like to cruise on Allure of the Seas.

Here we go.

So we're recording this episode live on Allure of the Seas for a six-night Western Caribbean sailing.

And this will be kind of an interesting episode, not just because we're on a cruise ship, but also because we're also going to talk about hurricanes.

And what happens when a hurricane disrupts your cruise?

And joining me on this episode is our, let's see, YouTube editor, article writer,

trip planner, and all around great person. Jenna DeLorentis, Jenna, welcome back to

the Rollscombe blog podcast. Thank you. So recording this in Vintageis if you hear music and

glasses clinking and all sorts of stuff. Yeah, we're all good. No worries. This is part of the ambiance. You feel like you're here. So we're here in vintage is on Alir. And this is Jenna's first time on Aller. I've been on, I've not been on alert since 2017 or so. And really, I think both of us, Jenna came into this kind of thinking the same thing.

Like, you know, compared to the amplified, like oasis of the seas, compared to harmony and wonder, you know, what's it like to go on a non-amplified or original Oasis-class ship?

You know, there's some pros and cons to every cruise that's out there. And we've got, so this is day three of the cruise.

So not the whole cruise, but wanted to talk about kind of the overall, like, general, you know, first thoughts, first and precious kind of thing.

So what jumps out to you, Jenna, about Allure since you've been on here for the first couple days?

Well, before the cruise, I had read, you know, All learn-examplified bad, super outdated, all of these

things. And then I got on board and I didn't really notice that many differences. I mean,

obviously there's no water slides and then there's no ultimate abyss. And maybe there's not some of the

newest restaurants. But I don't really mind these things. I think that those aren't things I usually use anyway, the water slides.

And then it's kind of interesting having more, like older restaurants on it, the ships, so we can try those out.

And it's not all the same as all the new Oasis class ships.

And a couple other things, like we're sitting in vintages so I can look out at Central Park.
