Booking for November 2024!

[@battery781]

I booked this ship fore a 4 night Bahamas cruise for my family in June of 2024 and I can’t wait. No one in my family has ever been on a cruise and I only went on one in 1993 when I Was a teenager and I barely remember it. We have a nice balcony overlooking Central Park and we are super excited to go even though we don’t quite know what to expect. Your video is well done. Thank you for taking the time to make it for our benefit.

[@TheWeekendCruiser]

Thank you!!! Have a new video coming out about specific pro tips on going on a short cruise with such a big ship! Check back tomorrow when it goes live!

[@battery781]

@@TheWeekendCruiser awesome!

[@BrianErgish]

Hey we may be on the same cruise.

[@kymm6306]

The best tour I've seen so far on the Allure. Very informative, great direction and location info. to make notes for my upcoming Cruise in December. Great job!

[@TheWeekendCruiser]

Thank you!!! I really appreciate that comment!

[@blublulady]

Yay! I'm so glad you did this. We have Allure booked for 2025 in the Med. Thank you for all you do!

[@brianjkelleher]

Just booked October 2025 west med also🎉

Loved this more current ship tour. Quick and thorough. Love that El Loco Fresh is the actual restaurant (app doesn’t say that). LOVE the stadium seating - only Wonder has it better (thick cushions lol). Noticed no casitas. This is the only Oasis class ship I haven’t been on so we are booked for this December. Was so strange seeing a champagne bar (instead of robot bar) and the casino stairs on promenade - does the smoke smell make its way up there? Crown Lounge - looks amazing compared to the other ships. Really wanted to sail before the amplification so I could see what everyone is talking about in regards to the slides and Abyss. Cant wait!

[@TheWeekendCruiser]

Have a blast Kathy!!! It is a great ship even if not amplified! Glad you liked the tour!

[@SAILNAWAY]

Wow, someone got his steps in! When I first saw the title I was thinking it would say Part 1. Great job for getting it all in on one take. Great great tour. I actually brought up a deck plan on my phone and watched on another device to help keep track. Thank you thank you so much for all the info and advice. Nicely done. Take care and hopefully we'll see you on a weekend cruise.

[@TheWeekendCruiser]

Thank you! Yes, this one took two batteries and a BUNCH of steps! Glad you were able to hang in there for the full thing!

[@pinky818smith-christian8]

Hi there! Fabulous video. We've been on this ship before and I still watched it...to the end! Thank you for all you do! We are going on it again, in Feb. Hope to see you.

[@TheWeekendCruiser]

Aww thank you!!! It was a great ship!

[@janeconnelllee8649]

This was an amazing tour. Best I have seen. We are going on this ship Thanksgiving 2024. 🎉

[@TheWeekendCruiser]

Thank you Jane!! Hope you have a blast and enjoy the Allure!

[@tonydiaz217]

Thank you so much for this video. I’ll be on allure in late February. After watching this I feel more comfortable

[@TheWeekendCruiser]

Aww thank you! Very glad you found it helpful and hope you have a great cruise!

[@dinathadiva7981]

Booked on Allure for October 2024. Can’t wait ❤

[@SUNDAYHRS]

By far the best tour of this ship that I have seen on KZbin! I can't wait to board January 8th 2024!

[@TheWeekendCruiser]

Thank you!!! Glad you enjoyed it and your cruise is right around the corner! Stay tuned for a Weekend Like a Pro video tomorrow for Allure!

[@davidc5191]

I considered a Crown Loft suite 35:35 but as they overlook an activity area with music I was concerned with sound at night, so I booked an Owners Suite instead.

[@TheWeekendCruiser]

Totally get it. When I stayed in a crown loft, the night time noise wasn't bad but during the day, you could def hear what was going on.

[@realnicksutton]

I love your ship tour videos, Brandon! Very detailed and helps visualize how the ship is laid out. I need to get on an Oasis class ship.

[@TheWeekendCruiser]

Thank you!!

[@Beane_the_RD]

Thank you so much for this in depth video! I’ll be on this ship (not to mention this higher tier/class of ship) for the first time in May 2024 (setting sail from Port Canaveral) and this is a great help to get the most ‘bang for my buck’!

[@TheWeekendCruiser]

Thank you Beane!!! That is greatly appreciated and it sounds like you are off to a GREAT start to enjoy your cruise!

[@DavidBarton-f7x]

8 days we will be on board

[@dereksmith6097]

I will be on this cruise in Aug 24 for a family reunion. Should be fun.

[@astrogalx]

going on this in May 2024 for my birthday and i’m so excited!!!

[@TheWeekendCruiser]

Happy birthday!!

[@michaelparker1813]

Great video. We sailed on her back in 16. She is one our favorite ships.

[@richardglash3740]

I was on the allure in June with the family. We loved the ship. Your video brought back memories. Thank you.

[@arward86]

Thank you soooo much!!! Can’t wait for my trip so ready

14:19 When he says "...everybody's on CocoCay," the autogenerated subtitles say "...everybody's on Coke okay." 😄

[@TheWeekendCruiser]

Haha oh boy! That could put me on the wrong side of KZbin! Haha thanks for letting me know and will update.

[@tedcoates402]

Hi Brandon - Good show! Never been on Allure, but vvery familiar with other Oasis ships and the tour tbrought back great memories. Recently sailed on Odyssey and it is now my favorite! You are making some changes in your program that are very entertaining. You are remaining Brandon but also seeming more personal. Good work.

[@TheWeekendCruiser]

Aww thanks Ted and that is greatly appreciated! Always trying to show a little bit more Brandon in the videos :-)

[@CruiseDude1]

Thank you for positive content instead of sensationalizing the latest exaggerated cruise headlines. Do you ever run into Emma, Tips for Travelers, Shiplife, Ben + David, Matt from Royal Caribbean Blog?

[@TheWeekendCruiser]

Thank you and that means a lot to me! I run into Matt from RC Blog all the time! Emma has come into my live streams a few times but have not met in person. Check out my latest video with Matt from Royal Caribbeann Blog! He is one of my heroes. kzbin.info/www/bejne/n16koXmPq8qmh6c

[@CruiseDude1]

Thank you! @@TheWeekendCruiser

[@mitchellbarnow1709]

Brandon, the vastness of this ship is unbelievable! I’ve only been able to watch half of it so far because I dozed off, but have no fear, I am going to absorb it all. Thank you so much for providing this invaluable information and working so hard to film and edit it all for us, your friends and fans.

[@TheWeekendCruiser]

haha I totally get it! It took almost 2 full camera batteries to get all of this ship. She is HUGE!

[@mitchellbarnow1709]

@@TheWeekendCruiserThat’s dedication to your craft!

[@marshall.cochran]

Went on allure in 2014. Really wanna go back because it's the only "OG" oasis class ship! Classic RCL

[@biknjak]

We did the Allure's last transatlantic to Barcelona in March 2020 (right when Covid hit) and she was supposed to go straight to Cadiz, Spain after that for her "Oasis" refit. It didn't happen, and she sat anchored at Southampton for months. I heard that she STILL hasn't had the refurbishment, and I suspect that will happen after her Feb 2025 transatlantic. I'm thinking of booking that cruise, as I'm personally not excited about all the "whiz-bang" water slides, etc. that will come with the remodel. I'm kind of nostalgic, and liked the Allure the way she's always been on our 4 previous cruises aboard her!😔

[@svetlanakozic5740]

We will be on New Year cruise. To bad you are not going to be in same time.

[@allynwithay]

hi allure is not my favorite oasis ship but they have the best diamond lounge until the next drydock

[@TheWeekendCruiser]

They sure do! Not a fan of the diamond lounge location on the other ships either!

[@georgebrace7775]

I don’t see people having fun,I went on the smaller sister ship and had a great time. I now have a booking on this ship. I got my fingers crossed.

[@TheWeekendCruiser]

It's all about the mindset! You got this!

[@RaysPlaysHandle]

When you said I can only be here for 3 or 4 days I said but I went on 7 days on the allure of the seas

[@TheWeekendCruiser]

Haha yes, she just changed her itinerary in November! For the next 2 years I believe she is only doing 3 and 4 night sailings! Def think the 7 night is the better option for this class of ship though!

[@atlboo98]

Is the suite deck available for all that booked a suite or do you have to be a certain member like pinnacle???

[@TheWeekendCruiser]

Great question, it is for Grand Suite guest and above (not junior suites) and depending on the number of Pinnacles, all or select pinnacles will also be invited.

[@zingsthings]

Is the front of the ship that bad when it comes to ship movement and walking distance

[@TheWeekendCruiser]

Depends on where the ship is sailing and the water. 95% of all sailings you will never feel the boat move even once. However, if the ship is rocking, you will feel it more.

[@Trisha1165]

Are the vitality spa smoothies included with the refreshment package?

[@TheWeekendCruiser]

They sure are Trisha!!

[@Trisha1165]

Thank You! 😁

[@brianjkelleher]

You don't mind entering aread that are blocked off 🙈

[@TheWeekendCruiser]

Haha can I claim I have press credentials? 🤣

[@pekkasykko4039]

Olen ollut viikon risteilyllä Allurella vuonna 2014, oli aivan upea reissu, mieletön kokemus, en unohda koskaan👍💯

[@TheWeekendCruiser]

Hienoa kuulla ja iloinen, että pidit risteilystä!

[@hochutiem2678]

Is this video taken for the sailing date 11/27/23 to 12/01/23 ?

[@TheWeekendCruiser]

It was filmed on the 11/3/2023 sailing.

[@hochutiem2678]

I was on the 3 days (11/24 - 11/27) on the Allure and there was an incident where a 16 years old kid fell off the 11th floor interior balcony onto the central park (deck 8) on the first night on our way to Nassau.

[@TheWeekendCruiser]

@@hochutiem2678 I saw that in the news. Tragic.

[@slimjimjimslim5923]

this is basically a giant super Mall floating on the water lol except you're also sleeping in the mall and you can't leave XD

[@TheWeekendCruiser]

hahahahah love this!

[@reihikers]

Why is everything an upcharge?

[@TheWeekendCruiser]

It is the marketing and psychology of sales. The get you to buy a cheaper cruise and once are onboard, people are on vacation and don't mind spending as much money. I am confident the cruise lines have spent a lot of money researching this and how it drives revenue.

[@S550Sheed]

calling a ship a boat huh

[@TheWeekendCruiser]

Hey there, believe you are referencing 28:15? Walking and talking is not always the best as I get one take and don't get a do-over when I flub a word. I try to always get things right but it doesn't always happen. At least this time I did catch the slip in the moment and called myself out. :-)
