Allure of the Seas Video Review

     I spent hours creating a fantastic iMovie with video and photo footage of the cruise.  I included some Christmas songs from the band Reliant K, Margaritaville (for the photos of us there), Good Feeling by Flo Rider during our X Rails excursion, and Michael Franti's Say Hey (I Love You) for Labadee and Jamaica video & photos.
     It took nearly 2 hours to upload on to YouTube.  I was so excited to debut this video....  YouTube axed it for copyright reasons.  However they wouldn't tell me which songs were on the "no-no" list.  So I basically resorted to just the Reliant K songs because YouTube allows them.    So for your viewing pleasure, here is the "not as great as the original" video review!

Allure- Holiday Activities

Holiday Festivities

The main reason we booked this particular cruise was because it was a holiday cruise.  We arrived back on Christmas Day, so the ship did all the Christmas activities Xmas Eve.  For many people, Xmas Eve is the day they do presents and dinner.  “Santa” agreed to come early so the kids could get their gifts.  Each child got a blue RCI blanket.  The holiday dinner was served on Christmas Eve.  Same exact menu as last year.  They would not let us keep the menu because they needed them for the next sailing which was also a holiday cruise.  My mom got one anyway!  At 10:30 on Xmas Eve there was caroling in the Promenade with snow!

 Hanukkah service was held in the Windjammer each night starting on the 20^th.  There were far more people than they had expected for the service.  We only went on the first night.  My mom and I were off exploring and were supposed to meet my husband and her boyfriend in the WJ.  My mom and I celebrate Christmas, my husband and her boyfriend are Jewish.  My mom and I showed up and the boys were nowhere to be found.  So much for the holiday festivities that night!  The latkes were yummy!
