I have cruised on the Allure before and enjoyed it more the first time. I am surprised they haven't added the tubes and water slides you see on all the other ships in port.

Because this ship is SO BIG, you feel more like cattle being herded from place to place rather than a valued guest. Our dining staff was more concerned with us filling out the survey to his liking that getting us refills on drinks and condiments.

The quality of main dining food was below expectations as well. This was my 4th cruise with RC in two years and I have seen a constant decline in food services across the line.

Cabin Review

Family Ocean View Stateroom with Balcony

Cabin FB

Room was clean and by adding the balcony, felt roomy for a ship cabin. A/C wasn't cooling enough and the room staff didn't seem to care since nothing was ever done about it.

Port Reviews

Falmouth

if you don't do an excursion, you walk out the gate from the pier and immediately you have beggars in your face trying to get what they can from you. Not a pleasant experience.

Labadee

Nice relaxing beach.

Fort Lauderdale (Port Everglades)

just got a hotel and then the ship the next morning. Hotel was overpriced and airport was a nightmare coming and going.
