Wow! The Allure of the seas is unbelievable. I have sailed on all three Freedom Class ships and was excited to see the difference of the larger Allure of the seas. We were not disappointed. The ship is in great shape and the crew was very attentative to our needs.
Other than embankment day and the infamous 2 for $20 t shirt sale, we never really felt crowded on the ship. There are so many areas of the ship to go, it will take you the 7 days to see it all. We stayed on deck 7 in ocean view balcony cabin 7606. The room was small but nice and we never heard a sound from our neighbors or from the hallway.
We chose to do the my time dining as we had several days of shows that would interfere with the standard 6 or 8pm times. This worked out fine, we had the same wait staff each night and similar table location. The food was good too no complaints from our group of 6.
Very nice room, clean and well maintained. A little smaller than others we have had but it was very nice and quiet. We never heard any noise from the other rooms or from the hallway.
Very easy to get on and off the ship from this port. We arrived around 10:30am and was on the ship by 11:30am
I've been to San Juan a few times, nice area with lots of shopping.
Enjoyed Columbus Cove area.
