Thinking about booking an Aqua-Theater Suite or Royal Family Suite on the Allure of the Seas?  Great, before you book take a CruiseSource video tour of the Allure of the Seas Suites before you book.   Both suites sleep up to 8 passengers and the Royal Family Suite has a connecting balcony if you need to sleep 10.   The Aqua-Theater Suites have huge balconies that offer spectacular views.

Due to the limited supply of both of these suites you’ll need to book these staterooms well in advance.  There are only 4 Royal Family Suites and 6 Aqua-Theater Suites on the entire ship.

I stayed at the El Dorado Royale earlier in the month.  Here is a quick video of the Jacuzzi Suite.  The smallest room offered at the adults only resort in Riviera Maya, Mexico.   As much as I love being at sea, we do sometimes do the land thing… and the El Dorado Royale was a great property for a conference, which is why I was there.

How do we get more of this?

This video is getting people pumped up on Youtube about going on the NCL Epic. This is a video created by a paying passenger! People trust their friends and family! There are tens of thousands of potential online content creators cruising each week. Many of these passengers are carrying high-powered cameras and video equipment. With a little creativity and investment the cruise lines can significantly grow the amount high-quality passenger-generated content that is being created and shared online with their friends and family. 75% of the US still have not taken a cruise vacation…. Videos like this will help dispel some of the myths, like all cruisers are old, that keep some people from going on their first cruise. Thanks to the power of social media, technology, and the awesome product offered by the cruise lines we should be able to convert many more first time cruisers.
