I first sailed the allure back in 2015 and had a 5 star trip. This time I say 3 stars but the dynamic was different because we were traveling with a 15 month old and it was our second time on the ship so the newness of the magnificentance of the ship had worn off a bit. My biggest complaint this time around was it seemed liked the times of activities were really limited. Since we have done a lot ...

I will break this review down by my personal pros and cons. We have previously sailed twice on Carnival, and wanted to see how the two lines compare. The lines are more similar than not. To us, the demographics on board are similar. We chose this ship because we wanted to see and experience this ship for ourselves. Embarkation and disembarkation were OK, other than the line for going ...

Embarkation was so much better at Terminal A than in other terminals. We were handled very quickly and our rooms were ready when we boarded at 11:30. We had our luggage within an hour or two. We had a family reunion for 35 of us. Those that had children enjoyed the vast array of activities and restaurants. Older members enjoyed the shows and restaurants, especially Giovannis Table and ...

We cruised "The Allure" in 2012. So, I'm able to do some comparison. Getting off and on this massive ship was a breeze. We did all the online documentation so, we were able to bypass all the lines. We walked off with our luggage at 630am. We have always done My Time Dining with no issues. This time was another story. MTD is a broken system on Allure that needs a lot of attention. We were on ...

I loved this ship two years ago two celebrate my wedding anniversary. We wanted to return with friends. Tut he ship is a beautiful ship, very expensive and they have not taken care of it. The rugs are dirty and spots in front of the stairs case and in the rooms they do not put water or soda to purchase or an ice bucket to have ice. They do have a small refrigerator, that is empty. The drinks are ...

Bigger is Not Better

Ship is huge, knew that in advance, but some of the things that I've come to enjoy about cruising, such as walking outside and listening to the waves, is just not possible. Certainly a lot to do, dining staff did a good job, food was fine, room was average, but just so many people and to few places to really relax and not hear all the commotion of things going on. Bigger is not better in my ...

NICE SHIP

OK so here we go...The ship is amazing. Its beautiful, its big, it is really nice. This was our 18th cruise so we pretty much knew what to expect. We sailed with OASIS of the Seas a few years back which Allure is identical. The ship is so big that you have to reserve your entertainment which is annoying but I get it. With 6000 people, you have to in order for everyone to see the show. The downside ...

The pros- Royal App- do your registration via the app, so easy and it got us priority boarding, spent less than 5-10 minutes at the port and we were on the boat. -Multiple swimming pools and we always seemed to be able to find a chair or two even on sea days. Cruising days best time is late afternoon and early evening to avoid crowds. - Bar service was generally quick, lots of drinks to ...

Not Autism-Friendly, but good suite experience

We choose Royal Caribbean, because they claim to be autism-friendly, which was not our experience. There were large crowds during sea days all over the boat, especially immensely crowded pools, but the kids club was the biggest letdown. There were long lines to drop off our son, there were very large numbers of youth in each session with few staff, the activities offered during the evening ...
