Welcome to the Royal Caribbean Blog Podcast, your weekly look into the world of Royal Caribbean cruising.

I'm your host, Matt Hodgeberg, and this is episode of our 471.

We're back from Allure of the Seas, as you heard from last week's episode, and we're going to kind of wrap up my Allure of the Seas Cues and answer a lot of your emails, as we didn't get a chance to do that last week.

Here we go.

This we didn't get a chance to do that last week. Here we go. Because we didn't answer any listener emails last week, I thought this week we would just

answer some emails for this episode. But I also wanted to kind of wrap up my allure that sees

cruise. We had to record it on, very early in the cruise on day three of the cruise. And we had to do

so in order to make it so that people you know

the episode would be out on time and whatnot and i knew that with i understood that but um you know

we didn't get the whole picture here as it relates to the entire cruise experiences kind of

wanted to spend a little bit of time here summarizing the cruise about 25% of this episode let's say

about allure and we'll get to your listener emails. And overall,

I really love The Lur of the Seas. Uh, you know, I think it gets a really bad rap right now from a lot

of people who go, oh, it's the unamplified Oasis class ship. It's the worst of the Oasis class

ships. It's the tired. It's in need of refurbishment. I completely disagree. I think it's a fantastic ship.

I think it's an excellent value.

The fact that Real Green prices it so aggressively compared to the other Waces-class ships

is a benefit to everybody listening to this because you're just getting a great deal out of it.

I mean, yeah, it's not amplified.

It doesn't have some of the bells and whistles that you'll find on, say, Oasis of the Seas, or some of the features that are just, you know, commonplace now on harmony and symphony and wonder.

But I really, truly do not believe that it is tired.

I was looking at some, you know, reviews people had posted recently, and I went to the Rochromen blog message boards.
