1-10 of 852 Royal Caribbean Allure of the Seas Cruise Reviews for Gay & Lesbian to the Eastern Caribbean
We had never been on one of Royal Caribbean's larger ships. The Allure of the Seas did not disappoint.
We were especially impressed with the quality of the shows. Mamma Mia, the ice show and the water/diving show were all amazing. They will be etched in my mind forever! I loved the activities onboard and was pleasantly surprised that they offered pickleball each morning and provided ...
Here’s the TLDR version up front, then if you want details, they are provided below.
THE GOOD:
Great food, mostly great entertainment, exceptional staff, nice ship, nice room, excellent casino, CocoCay! Post COVID cruising is 85% of what it used to be and we had a blast. No masks were required on the ship as all travelers were mandated to be vaxed and tested prior to sailing.
THE ...
First and foremost, our room steward Michael (12301) He was very understanding of our specific desires for the cabin, he exceeded in every way. He is patient, very friendly and extremely accommodating.
Our main dining room waiter, Sylvan and assistant, Joanna, (table 324) were amazing. The entire main dining room experience was one of the very best we’ve ever had. The key word is ...
This was my first cruise with Royal and third overall. Everything was excellent – and as everyone has been warning for 2 years now, set your expectations and be flexible.

Back to Back on Allure
We just returned from back-to-back on Allure of the Seas. Nine days and then eight days in a Jr. Suite. It was great. Different from cruising pre-pandemic but still relaxing and fun. Royal should be complimented on the constant and effective cleaning and adherence to the safety protocols. Staff worked hard, they were very friendly and helpful under difficult ...
I rely almost 100% on reviews for every trip I take, so I'm paying it forward by giving as concise a review of this cruise that I can for others. We didn't choose this cruise, the couple we sailed with did. We didn't think we'd like a ship this massive, but we were pleasantly surprised. Never felt crowded, even with over 4K aboard. Never had to wait for an elevator and rarely had to wait in ...
First time cruisers. So impressed by staff and service crew. Phenomenal ship and amenities. The shows were so professional and top notch. Food was great!!!! Service crew were so wonderful and went out of their way to accommodate your every need.
Easy to get on and off boat. Granted ship was half full but still. A well oiled machine!!! Loved this ship and beautiful neighborhoods. St kits ...
This was our first cruise since January of 2020, with six canceled cruises in between. We have previously sailed aboard the Oasis and Harmony of the Seas, so we were already familiar with the basic layout of the ship. Passengers aboard appeared to be about 25-30 percent of actual capacity, which was wonderful from the boarding process to the departure, and everything in between.
Food in the ...
Right now is the time to jump on the Allure ! It has been sailing less than 1/2 full. The service has been perfect. All safety protocols followed. The shows and activities in full swing and amazing as ever. We were on this ship 10 yrs ago and it is so clean it literally looks brand new. Guest to staff ratio is in your favor, not waiting for anything like chairs, bars, etc. we have 2300 on ...
Chose this cruise as with children we love the variety of things to do and the excursions in the Caribbean are far more child-friendly than European ones making it worth the extra flight time.
From start to finish STAR class gave us the Wow factor. From arrival at the cruise terminal being ushered through our own dedicated security line, meeting our genie and being on the Ship, in our suite ...
