We are now Diamond with Royal, so we have sailed Royal many times. We think that Royal offers the best cruise experience when traveling as a family. In our multi-generational traveling group, Oasis class ships offer many options for all ages. Allure did not disappoint in that regard.
An Aquatheatre Suite became available about 6 weeks before sailing. These staterooms are difficult to come by, so our family booked it. The views of the sea from the stern to the side are wonderful, then you can watch all the Boardwalk activity, including Aquatheatre shows, on the other side. If you didn't want to deal with noise from the shows at night, we just closed up the doors, and we could barely hear anything, and this was when the shows were loudest.
The cabin is excellent, perfect for the four of us. The master is very nice, with plenty of light, and sea air. There is another second cabin, which is more like an interior cabin. Two baths, both very nicely appointed.
