Jacklynn Posted June 4, 2023 Report Share Posted June 4, 2023 Reservations opened up for our July 2nd Allure sailing yesterday (finally) and the ice skating show is titled "Blades" instead of the "Ice Games" that I have seen listed in the past. Anyone know if it is a completely new show or if it's one they have done in the past? I don't remember seeing anything about it before but I of course could just be unaware Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twangster Posted June 4, 2023 Report Share Posted June 4, 2023 It looks like one of those ad hoc shows where the cast just do whatever they feel like in that moment as opposed to a choreographed production like "Ice Games". Neesa 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WAAAYTOOO Posted June 4, 2023 Report Share Posted June 4, 2023 Interesting. Normally those "other" shows don't accept reservations. I wonder if this is a new show ! It would be awesome to finally get a new show SOMEwhere. PPPJJ-GCVAB 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TXcruzer Posted June 4, 2023 Report Share Posted June 4, 2023 Not a new show, this is the freestyle performance done in addition to the choreographed "Ice Games" WAAAYTOOO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no Ice Games show posted yet, only that one. So if they still do the Ice Games one they just haven't posted it yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrznTxn Posted June 4, 2023 Report Share Posted June 4, 2023 Could be a new cast coming onboard and they have not quite learned the Ice Games moves to perform it yet. On Allure they have just started performing Blue Planet with the new Momma Mia cast who had to learn the new music and moves to add that in addition to Momma Mia. Usually they add only a couple of new cast to the ice show at a time but it could be there were more than usual, Or as what happen on Liberty OTS on several of our cruises the cast had some injuries and illness to too many of the cast and they did an improve show for the guests. Loved those too as it allowed the performers to do what they thought brought the best in their particular talent but still brought us a show.

Jill Posted June 5, 2023 Report Share Posted June 5, 2023 It’s also been called iskate on some ships. We saw that on one of the oasis class ships we sailed last year. We actually liked it better than the choreographed show Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calvink669 Posted June 12, 2023 Report Share Posted June 12, 2023 Just got off Allure yesterday and it was relayed by a cast member who was at chef's table that this was completely replacing ice games.

MattJump Posted June 17, 2023 Report Share Posted June 17, 2023 Can confirm, just talked to one of the managers of ice games, Igor, who stated that this is a completely new, choreographed show. He said that this is very rare for them to completely change the choreographed show, but this is an exception to the usual “keep the same show.” WAAAYTOOO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aray Posted June 26, 2023 Report Share Posted June 26, 2023 We were on the June 18th sailing. We watched Ice Games on 6/24. After the performance, the cruise director came out and announced that it was the last performance of Ice Games. I'm not sure what they are going to replace it with.

loki007 Posted March 19 Report Share Posted March 19 just got off Allure and the App had the ability to reserve mama Mia, Oceanaria, and Blades but the Aquatheater was the only one you actually needed a reservation for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoomSlayer Posted March 19 Report Share Posted March 19 Blades replaces Ice Games. Saw it in January on Allure and enjoyed it. TessFromFlorida 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This has been my experience too unless you want seats close and upfront center stage. Those seats go quick and having reservations helps if that is where you want to sit. I have terrible eyesight, so the closer the better for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TessFromFlorida Posted March 22 Report Share Posted March 22 Just saw this show last week, it was fantastic IMO. I felt the choreography and sound design/music selection was top notch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone should try everything they think they might like no matter what they read, IMO, be it a show, restaurant, food item, etc. TessFromFlorida 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry you hated it. Given that my previous experience with ice shows was limited to Disney on Ice, perhaps I had set my expectations too low OCSC Mike 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may have been influenced by having seen Wonder’s ice show a few months before Blades… and seeing it again a few days ago confirmed that it is easily my favorite. I’m not a big show guy anyway. I’ll see anything once (except broadway due to length). If I don’t like it, oh well. I was gonna sit somewhere having a drink anyway. 45 mins of anything is never gonna ruin a cruise.
