I picked the Allure because of the activities and entertainments on board. Also never been to Cozumel, Jamaica or Labadee. Booked it during the July 4th sale and got a good price and OBC perks.
There is so much to see and do! First time trying the boogie board on the Flowrider and loved it! OceanAria was fantastic and saw it twice. Check your show reservations when you arrive since they changed one of my shows and I had to reschedule. Cruise Compass doesn't always list the correct show times so you need to listen for the announcements and check your Personal calendar on TV.
Ice shows including Monopoly and How to train your dragon are fun. Headliner is the comedic Elton John tribute artist, Joel Mason. Comedy act with Miguel Washington was okay but he was much better in the family friendly show. Blue Planet music was an odd mix but the stage set and costumes are great. Aerobic act in pseudo underwater scene is fun to watch. Also enjoyed the Madagascar Aqua show on final sea day. Do not miss the Quest slow since it's absolutely hilarious! Worth staying up late to see it. Battle of the Sexes is fun too.
Our cabin was in Central Park on 10th floor (10603). The location is convenient , halfway between both sets of elevators but there is less privacy on the balcony and can get muggy often. However, great views of Central Park.
I rented a floating mat and relaxed at Columbus Cove. Took the express ferry to get there. Great views of the ship and calm waters with nice beach.
We stayed 2 days after the cruise and rented a car. Had a great time visiting Vizcaya House and Fairchild Tropical Botanical Garden in Miami. Also took the water taxi to see the Intercoastal Waterway and Bonnet House and Gardens.
