I have been on allure 3 times. The ship still looks great after the refurbishing. I was on one of the first sailings and I have to day I don't feel it has aged. It is a great ship, with a great layout and really doesn't feel big regardless of its size. The neighborhoods really break things down well. the real change has been to service and food. The food is literally, hit or miss. I suspect ...
We didn't end up where we were supposed to go. but that's OK with me! Allow me to explain:
Background Information:
This was my 42nd cruise overall, and my 5th time on the Anthem of the Seas. I took this cruise with my husband. The price was right and we had gone to Port Canaveral and Perfect Day at Coco Cay before. However, both ports were changed; Port Canaveral due to engine maintenance ...
I had been on this ship two years ago and loved it. This time, not so much. Way too many kids for this time of year. Itinerary got changed twice. Food was generally abysmal. Very little recognition for being a C&A top tier member. Has really changed and not for the better.
The bright spot was debarkation; worked very well, everything flowed smoothly and very quickly. A nice change from the ...
Do not under any circumstances book a wedding on a Royal Caribbean cruise ship, especially Allure of the seas, it was by far one of the worst experiences I have ever had! To start I received a text message at 10pm the night before my wedding confirming all guests would be there by 9:30am, We were originally told 10am although I told my guests 9:30 to ensure no one would be late. In addition to ...
The Bad....
Dogs now allowed (not just service dogs), sometimes without a leash. Eating off floor and table in dining areas. Kids licking salt shakers in Windjammer. Smokers on balconies. Groups taking over hot tub in Solarium for several hours with their boom box music playing loud. ALL of this was observed by staff with no one stopping it. Windjammer is far too small for a ship this size. ...
It was our first cruise ever and from the events (which were fantastic) and the staff were awesome and extremely friendly. We will definitely be going on another cruise soon :). The food was fantastic and the dinner was awesome also the staff were very attentive and extremely friendly. The attendants who cleaned the room were very professional and even made our towels look like small animals for ...
Good stuff first, food was good the dining service staff Cynthia and Sandeep were awesome. Our room Stewart Clarke very friendly did a great job. PEI tour was great. That was the reason we went. My wife is big fan of the Ann of green gables. Getting on was the normal made house stuff you get while getting on a big ship.
The tours :Cabot trail was a few stops enclosing a stop at a closed ...
We wanted to experience a few days in Rome before boarding the ship for our trip back to Miami. Ezplorer is one of our favorite ships. Perfect size and great service. Our favorite cruise director, Hello Clo and our favorite head waiter, Gianni were there to greet us when we boarded. We took early dining and had the best waiter and assistant waiter. Artha and Ayu--married from Bali. The lecture ...
We chose this cruise because BOS has not been here in Australia before only ROS,same class but different ship. We just wanted to go on a smaller ship again. It was a 10 night South Pacific cruise to in order as we went,Lifou,Luganville,Vila,Mystery Island and Noumea. We have done a few cruises into this area before.
At this time,the start of our cruise season is usually very good,but this time ...
After having cruised with P&O and Carnival I was expecting better than what was on offer from Royal Caribbean on this cruise.
The embarkation process was quick and easy. Our oceanview cabin was clean and spacious but the interior furnishings like the sofa, were tired looking and in need of upgrading. The bed was not comfortable and we had to get our room attendant to find some mattress toppers ...
