We loved our first cruise ever - on Allure of the Seas. Totally relaxing, every need was taken care of and we were treated like kings.

Check-in was fast and efficient, as we had done all our pre-cruise check-in online. Our room was ready by 1:00. As per their suggestion, we had a bag with us with bathing suits, etc, and enjoyed a great meal and swimming while we waited for our luggage to arrive around 3:00. Our balcony stateroom was gorgeous, and very spacious and well-appointed. Just beautiful.

We had pre-booked all on-board entertainment, which we highly recommend, as the shows fill up quickly. Arrive at least half hour before a show to get good seats. The quality of the entertainment was incredible. Port excursions had been pre-booked as well, and everything went very smoothly. Read more
