The ship is amazing and very clean. The Royal Promenade is the length of a football field. The outdoor Boardwalk neighborhood has restaurants, shops, a carousel and the Aqua Theater. The Central Park is covered with plants, and trees, our cabin had a balcony overlooking Central Park. At the back of the ship, you have the Sports Area, complete with Flow Rider surf simulators, a zip- line, mini-golf, Ping-Pong and basketball courts.

We had been afraid that we would be so crowded with over 6,000 passengers and around 2,000 crew but we never felt that way. The ship is lovely. We thought that the crew was extremely accommodating. We had early dining (with reservations in advance, at home) and the food was very..very.. fine. Also, in advance(at home), we were booked every evening with show. "Mama Mia!" was fabulous, the Aqua Show was thrilling. We enjoyed the Blue Planet with the singers and dancers. The comedy live was great too.

Allure of the Seas has a little something for everyone-we really like at the late evening the free croissant and pizza shack and coffee on the Royal Promenade. Read more
