DW and I Just returned from the Allure 4/22/12 sailing.
A little history first, I did not originally book the CL. I booked a JS on deck 8 hump. The cabin looked great, we got double points but not the suite perks. I really wanted the GS but did not want to pay the additional upgrade cost.
After final payment the cabin prices began to fluctuate. I caught a sale on the GS where I could upgrade for about one-third of the original difference. I called my TA and she was told this price was for new bookings only. After a little persuasion, she got RCL to agree to give me the reduced price. WOW, I got the GS for a great price.
CL 1726 good view of aft Could see Aqua Theater from cabin balcony. A bit noisy from Boardwalk. Great access to Viking Crown Lounge.
