We just came back from the 7 night Caribbean cruise on the Allure of the Seas. Overall, we had a great vacation. The ship is beautiful. However, as many mentioned, the ship is just too big. By too big, I mean too many people, compared to the size of the facilities. This was our sixth cruise, and it was the first time we felt claustrophobic, mostly in the elevators, the Windjammer and the Royal Promenade area. RCI WENT ONE STEP TOO FAR with this ship.
EMBARKATION and DISEMBARKATION
No complains about embarkation. We came early (around 11am) and the whole process took less than half an hour. Very quick and efficient. Good job RCI. Disembarkation was a completely different story. We had to STAND in the line for over an hour. Not a good experience at all.
We didn't care much about the cabin, sisnce we don't spend much time in the cabin anyway. The bed was comfortable, storage not great but adequate.
