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- Labadee


In Labadee we planned to just relax on the beach, watch zip liners, and grab some BBQ food.  I always thought that Coco Cay and Labadee offered the same food for the BBQ.  Nope, I find the Coco Cay offers a wider selection.  A full salad bar, mac’n’cheese, more side items, etc.

We ended up wandering over to the Dragon’s Tail Coaster hut to find out about it.  $19 for a car.  We figured that wasn’t too bad.  We had a decent amount of onboard credit to go through and we had pre-paid all the specialty restaurants.  The guy told us the wait was short.  I looked over at the line, it was maybe 50 feet long, if that.  So we paid and got in line…. TWO hours later we finally got to the car.  Ugh.  Had I know, we wouldn’t have done it.  The ride was fun though.  Exactly my kind of coaster.  I hate big drops and this had none of them.  We were able to see some beautiful spots on Labadee when way up high.  Had the line NOT been 2 hours long I would say it’s well worth it.  If you buy the all-day pass you get to cut the entire line on after your first ride.


An interesting observation- the Dragon's Breath Zip Line (longest Zip Line over water- in the world) has always been $99, even for our trip.  I just went over to the RCI webpage today and found that it is now down to $85.
