Hello all you Cunard cruisers out there!
Just a note to advise you about Cunard's new fuel supplement increase... it's not increasing by much but here is the scoop:
Due to the continued escalation of fuel prices, Cunard Line will increase their fuel supplement from $3.85 (USD) to $6.00 (USD) per person per day. This supplement will not exceed $200.00 per person, per voyage. The supplement applies to each paying guest travelling, including 3rd and 4th person fares and paid children's accommodations.
The new fuel supplement will apply to all new bookings made on or after 31 December 2010 for voyages departing on or after 14 April 2011.

NCL's CEO to be on Undercover Boss
Don't forget to catch Undercover Boss on CBS to see NCL's CEO hard at work. I don't know when this particular episode will be airing but it is coming up and should be a fun one to watch! I think we all can appreciate how hard the crews works onboard, it will be great to see the CEO in action along side!

Allure of the Seas - Our Adventure!
Wow, what an unbelievable ship! Mark and I just returned from a 2-day pre-inaugural sailing on Royal Caribbean's brand new and biggest ship... the Allure of the Seas! We checked out every area of the ship and really had a wonderful time.
One of the many neat features on the Allure is the digital signage they have placed around the ship for the passengers use. You get up-to-the-minute, real-time communication for departure information, restaurant availability, entertainment information and more. You can also use the interactive screens to map your way to virtually anywhere on the ship!
Their state-of-the-art theater, the Amber Theater, featured some amazing shows! On the first night we enjoyed "Blue Planet"... with powerful music, soaring vocals, energetic dance and aerial acrobatics it just left us breathless. Next we saw "Chicago" and it was an incredible musical. The Allure certainly has an extremely talented cast onboard for sure!
Of course the many restaurants, lounges, bars and dining venues are fun and the food is great! We enjoyed some fantastic dinners onboard and well as other fun treats. The Rising Tide bar is definitely one not to miss... it slowly moves up and down between deck 5 and 8, from Central Park above to the Royal Promenade below.
And of course I can't forget to mention the great activities onboard the Allure as well! Some of you may have tried a zip line before, perhaps on an excursion in port... but I have to say there is nothing like being suspended nine decks above the Boardwalk to give you a birds-eye view of the action below as you speeeed across the open-air atrium. We went back and did it a couple times. And don't forget the FlowRider. There are two of these surf simulators onboard! It's a little bit of a challenge to keep your balance if you've never surfed before but once you get the hang of it... it's a blast!
We certainly did more than I mentioned here but just wanted to give you a taste of the highlights. :)
The Allure of the Seas is a must-see for your next cruise! I'll try to get some pictures posted soon!
