This is our third time on ship - we love it that much. The service was great, the food is excellent, staff is very friendly. You can't go wrong on a Royal Caribbean cruise. Top of the line to be sure. Thinking of taking a vacation - Avoid the hassle of driving, finding a restaurant, things to do, things to see - everything is right at your fingertips. Very relaxing vacation. The Aria water show was fantastic and recommend to make sure to add that to your itinerary - free, too. The Allure of the Seas is one of the largest in the world but there are so many things to do and see that it never seemed crowded. Plus the size of the ship provides for very smooth sailing - smaller ships would feel the wave action much much more than we did. We will definitely be back as soon as we can. Take a Royal cruise - you won't regret it!
