This was perhaps one of our greatest ships to experience. It was truly a floating city. No disappointments there. We chose this cruise as a getaway just to experience the Allure. It exceeded our expectations. The entertainment was topnotch and having reservations made it more convenient. We were able to plan our day and evening prior to boarding. Considering 6000 passengers and 2300 crew on board, they definitely know how to move people. One suggestion, familiarize yourself with all they have to offer. There are complimentary goodies all around the ship.

The negatives: No chapel. When you have a Central Park,Boardwalk, Zip Line, Rock Climbing, skating rink, why no chapel?

Our problem was with RC Corporate. We originally booked this cruise for October. We were entitled to a $300 on-board credit. Our son died the evening before we were to fly out so we rescheduled. RC refused to honor the $300, after many e-mails and the death certificate, they allowed $100. We are Diamond members, one cruise away from Diamond Plus. We were LOYAL. They were not. Hello NCL. Enjoy your cruise.
