My 23 old daughter, 16 year grand daughter and myself just returned from our Allure of the Seas cruise. We sailed from 12/4 through 12/11. We were actually a little apprehensive of going on the Allure since we travelled on the Oasis in November of 2010 and thought we could never have an experience like with did on that ship!! We soon found out we had nothing to worry about! Our cabin was on deck 14, cabin #709. Our cabin steward was Joel!! He was one of the best ever and was always there for us. Every night he made up the couch into a bed and every morning he had to take it apart again to put it back to a couch. Quite a job since there really isn't much room once that couch is opened up. Thank you Joel, we miss you already and wish you could come to our home and clean for us and LOL make towel animals.

We were supposed to be at a large table for our 6:00 pm dining. They somehow messed this up and we were put a small 4 top. We were very disappointed at first. Then we met David and Aida. I don't even know how to describe the great job they did. We miss you both so much and can't wait to talk on face book. You two are the best! We actually were very spoiled at that table as my daughter and granddaughter were the only young people in our section. We had waiters that weren't even ours spoiling us like crazy. Thanks to you all, we love and miss you as well! Aqua Theatre show amazing, Blue Planet amazing, Ice Show amazing and the Headliner show was phoenominal..ventriliquist..sorry I can't remember his name!!

Ports of call were good. We had fun in Labadee and really enjoyed seeing the improvements that they made since 2004. Jamaica was fun as we took a 4 hour tour that was very impressive! In Cozumel we shopped at the Forum shops and had lunch at Carlos and Charlies. My daughter fell in love with a waiter that was from France. Guilles very hot!! Read more
