My husband and I chose the Allure of the Seas because we were traveling with 14 other adults and we wanted everyone to have choices of many activities. We sailed out of Fort Lauderdale, but unfortunately the weather did not cooperate. It was extremely windy so there was no fun sail away experience and everyone was feeling the ships movement for the first few days.
Our favorite part of the ship was Central Park which is an amazing garden-filled expanse on the 8th deck. It was a great place to eat, listen to music and enjoy some quiet.
Our favorite entertainment was "Mama Mia". What a cast ! They did an incredible job. The Cruise Director, Tim, was one of the best we have had in over 10 cruises. The entertainment overall, along with the activities, were well-received by all of us.
Liked the cabin and it was one with the bed closest to the balcony which is the kind we prefer.
Embarkation easy. Disembarkation very chaotic and long!
