My husband and I sailed back-to-back on the Allure Western/Eastern Caribbean for 14 days the day after our wedding. It was glorious! We stayed in Ft. Lauderdale Saturday night at Fairfield Inn (free parking for up to 21-days!) and ate at Tap 42 (this is a must for craft beer, local food enthusiasts. It's also very affordable).

After sailing on the Oasis a few years back, we were so excited to try Allure for an extended vacation. We enjoyed every last minute. The first leg of the trip (western) was spent with family and friends while the second leg (eastern) was spent with just each other. It was the perfect setup for a great vacation and honeymoon.

Service on the Allure cannot be beat. For as many people on this boat, the service is not lacking at all. Our stateroom was top notch, along with our attendant. The dining room had great service and food. I would say the desserts were not as impressive as they were on the Oasis, for some reason, but they were ok. I still tried one every night, but unless it was *really* good, I skipped it. And I skipped a lot. But besides that, the food was spectacular. We tried 150 Central Park (for a second time) and it didn't disappoint. We also dined at Chops, Samba and Giovanni's and while the food was very good–excellent even–we will probably only eat in the main dining room next time. I really have come to enjoy the experience in the MDR and I loved the personal service. But if you haven't tried the specialty restaurants, I do recommend them.

Cabin Review

Very roomy, lovely balcony, lots of storage. The bathroom was small, but to be expected. I do think the upholstered furniture is in need of replacement and/or a deep cleaning. They're starting to show wear and tear and generally looked like they needed to be cleaned. Otherwise, a very nice stateroom with all the necessary amenities.
