cusematt4 Posted December 9, 2023 #1 Share Posted December 9, 2023 Hi All, The Royal Caribbean app is showing a freestyle ice show called Bladez instead of the choreographed show Ice Games. The description states that it is a show for the cast to show off their moves to their favorite songs. Does anyone know if any why Royal Caribbean would have done away with their highly acclaimed ice games show? This unscripted show is not in addition to the normal ice show. Thank you.

cusematt4 Posted December 9, 2023 Author #3 Share Posted December 9, 2023 Thanks. I was also told from someone onboard this is the case. I’m hoping this freestyle unscripted ice show is just a temporary replacement and am curious if ice games will be coming back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jk04 Posted December 9, 2023 #4 Share Posted December 9, 2023 Ice Games was not on the Nov 27 sailing either, it was Bladez. I didn't ask why the change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

njkruzer Posted December 10, 2023 #6 Share Posted December 10, 2023 Just guessing but maybe a skater is unable to perform and no sub is available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Dolby1000 Posted December 10, 2023 #7 Share Posted December 10, 2023 (edited) Just off the Allure, Bladez is well worth the time. It is not a totally freestyle sort of show that changes nightly. Every number is planned and well rehearsed. The difference is that there is no central plot to confuse things. It is just outstanding skating to all types of music. And yes, the hula hoop lady is still around. Spoiler, the 80s montage was my favorite. Edited December 10, 2023 by Dolby1000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare shof515 Posted December 10, 2023 #8 Share Posted December 10, 2023 with the allure doing the short 3-4 day cruises, they may not be enough time in the day or schedule to do two different shows. when it was sailing 7 day cruises, they was more time to do more other shows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare OCSC Mike Posted December 10, 2023 #9 Share Posted December 10, 2023 Blades replaced Ice Games as the scripted show on Allure. That's all. It's the main show now. FWIW, we didn't care for it it in October. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is why entertainment is subjective. The lack of plot is what we DIDN'T like. I prefer an actual story of some sort. Different strokes. Glad you enjoyed it!

They have to adjust when they are down a Skater or 2, hurt or not on the Ship. Seen this happen on the Stage Shows along with Ice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wreckem2013 Posted December 10, 2023 #12 Share Posted December 10, 2023 Ice games was extraordinarily dated last Christmas. Glad it was replaced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisegirl1 Posted December 10, 2023 #13 Share Posted December 10, 2023 (edited) Blades is correct for both the four night and three night Allure cruises. Here is the 3 night entertainment lineup. The four night adds Blue Planet. Edited December 10, 2023 by cruisegirl1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeW Posted December 10, 2023 #14 Share Posted December 10, 2023 We've never been fond of Ice Games, but have seen cases where scheduled shows have been redone as "unscripted" when skaters are injured or sick. Lots of times it is the same show with an act substituted. Not much plot on any of these but we are always impressed how they can do what they do on such soft ice.

I agree, this was one of my least favorite ice shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare CruisinCrow Posted December 14, 2023 #16 Share Posted December 14, 2023 Blades is not unscripted. The premise of the show is that the music is from the skaters' playlists. However, the show is definitely choreographed. We saw it on our November 6 cruise and I posted some pictures of it in my review: https://susancrow.blogspot.com/2023/11/allure-of-seas-our-first-cruise-on.html 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
