Before the Cruise/Traveling:
My family and I had heard nothing but great reviews of the Allure of the Seas and we decided we had to jump aboard while it was still the largest ship in the world. We live in Oregon, so the trip alone to Fort Lauderdale was expensive. A tip to save money if you are traveling primarily for the cruise is to book an overnight flight to save money on any extra hotel cost before which is what my family and I did. It can seem a bit risky, but we got in pretty early and decided it was the best idea, and it formed out to be a great decision so I recommend it.
We sailed on November 29th 2015, so it was nice to be able to get away from the rainy Oregon weather.
Great Cabin with plenty of space if you use the space well! Just don't overpack and you'll have enough room for everything. The Cabin Stewards were great and helpful, always came around to keep our room clean, as well as kept an eye out for when we left our room so they could pop in and tidy up. I definitely recommend the Boardwalk View, I felt like I could always see any events going on but I could still see the Ocean. It was never too loud with any of the performances going on.
Lots of fun! Always felt safe. The staff all over Labadee was so helpful and nice.
Loved being in Cozumel. Unfortunate because of the poor weather.
Loved Falmouth! The people were all very kind and if you are looking to do any shopping, this is definitely the place to do it.
