Although any experience is subjective, here is my balanced review with my feedback to those considering ALLURE to LABADEE, JAMAICA, COZUMEL.
Me and a friend departed 1/12/14 from Ft. Lauderdale:
1) BOARDING SHIP- We arrived very early at 10:30am and were able to get right on the ship after 11:00am..then had lunch. All went smoothly and avoided later afternoon crowds.
