NEWS from Allure of the Seas, the 225,000-ton, 5,400-passenger ship soon to be launched by Royal Caribbean.
She’s pretty much a twin of Oasis of the Seas - except she will be a whopping three-tenths of an inch longer - but there have been a few tweaks on the inside.
They include replacing a “healthy options” eatery with a “churrascaria” restaurant where waiters will pile you up with meat on skewers until you tell them to stop.

IT’S official … The Queen will name the new Cunard liner that bears her name next month in Southampton.
Everyone has assumed she would be doing the business for ages, but today Cunard president Peter Shanks confirmed it - with a fanfare of trumpets on the steps of Carnival UK’s headquarters in Southampton.
She named the Queen Mary 2 and the QE2, and was there in 1938 when her mother named the original Queen Elizabeth.
When she named the QE2 she deviated from the script, calling the ship “Queen Elizabeth the Second”.
Maybe this time she’ll keep it simple: “I name this ship … ME!”

The videos will be up later.
