Additional details
We had a fantastic cruise about the Allure of the Seas in April of 2016, sailing on the Eastern Caribbean route with stops in Nassau, St. Thomas and St. Martin. By way of background, hubby and I are a childfree, youthful couple in our 50s with about 12 cruises under our belt. To date we've sailed on RC, Celebrity, Carnival, Holland and Norwegian. On this cruise, we travelled with 3 friends, also in their 50s. We flew into FLL the day before the cruise and stayed at Hyatt Place. We were very pleased with this hotel which was really comfy and the room was large with a kitchenette and separate living area. It also offered a free shuttle from the airport and shuttle service to the port (extra charge, but reasonable). My friends stayed at the Renaissance which was a little closer to the cruise port and it was also very nice, although no free shuttle.
I will start off by saying this was the most enjoyable cruise we ever took. The ship was just FABULOUS and was the best ship we've ever sailed on.
I will comment on the highlights and the few lowlights.
Cabin Review
Superior Ocean View Stateroom with Balcony
Cabin was very comfortable, roomy, well designed with plenty of storage space. We liked being just a couple cabins away from the elevator so it was easy to quickly get wherever we wanted to go. We did not have any issues with noise in this cabin. The bed was very comfortable and I noticed underneath the mattress cover there was a memory foam mattress pad. We really liked the soft, high quality cotton linens and duvet.
