This cruise was to celebrate my husband's birthday. BIG birthday - BIG ship! Everyone told us the ship would not feel crowded and they were right. The Allure is beautifully designed so that even the pool areas on "at sea" days were surprisingly enjoyable. We enjoyed all our dining experiences, from the main dining room full breakfasts & casual lunch in the Windjammer and pizza in Sorrento's, to the intimate decor & feel of 150 Central Park, Chops, & Giovanni's Table. We were never rushed and never felt we were expected or pushed to purchase bar service. We also did not expect all the complimentary foods served us. Even in the Windjammer, having servers walking beverages to tables was wonderful instead of standing in line for tea or lemon aid. The production of "Mama Mia" was top notch as were the ice show & aqua theater presentation. All the talent was very professional.
Our cabin had more than enough room. The closet was large with more hangars than we needed and there was lots of drawer and shelf space. The space under the bed was high enough to slide our large suitcase into.
