Allure Of the Seas 3-day cruise. 12/15/2023
The 4th deck Floor mng of Main Dining "Nittens" gave us all COVID as well as the servers were sniffling also. We tried not to engage.
We wore our surgical 4 ply masks everywhere except when dining.
The menu choices & food served in the main dining room was typically inedible. Sad.
The waiters & servers had a very limited knowledge of the ...
I was hesitant to board this ship as it was not and has not been amplified. But the ship is in tip top shape and couldn't even tell it was an old ship. The layout and design was beautiful. The artwork was very nice and different. The Broadway show was amazing and funny and up beat. People got up from their chairs singing and dancing. I also enjoyed this ship using/converting the Royal Thearte into ...
Quite literally the worst vacation I have been on. Our balcony door didn’t seal correctly and it took until the second night of the cruise for them to repair it correctly and stop the whistling. Their initial fix was to put tape over the seal which rendered the balcony useless. This was a non started since my wife gets sea sick on the first day of a sail and the fresh air from the balcony helps. ...
This was our first time on RCL having sailed Carnival, NCL, and Holland pre-Covid. From the easy embarkation and debarkation and everything in between, we had a wonderful time. The staff was so nice. The food was great and we really enjoyed the Aqua and Comedy shows. We booked ahead, but saw most everyone in the stand by lines get in. Surprised to see other reviewers commenting on nothing to ...
Ever since the Oasis launched I've been wanting to try one of Royal Caribbean's mega-ships. I took a 4-night cruise to the Bahamas with 6 family members in two cabins. Ours was a pretty standard balcony cabin - no complaints really. The other cabin was HUGE - a family oceanview room. If you can snag one of those for a decent price you should go for it!
I really expected the boarding to be ...
We cruised on the Carnival Magic in February and I wound up getting very sick and recuperating at home for almost the whole month of March. I took this as a make up cruise and, in spite of two stormy days, missing the Aqua show, missing CocoCay, and our visit to Nassau, we enjoyed ourselves. We had friendly, helpful waiters and a good room steward. Mama Mia, the Blue Planet, and Blades (the ...
I had been on this ship prior, several years ago, with my sister and mom. We had a great time.
This trip, my husband and a couple friends wanted to take a vacation. Initially we looked at an all inclusive but decided on this cruise as we wanted the Coco Cay experience (I had been there before).
We purchased the deluxe beverage package prior to boarding thankfully; otherwise we wouldn’t ...
A disappointment from arrival… Our family booked two rooms on the Allure of the Seas (picked this ship due to the time of sailing around a holiday). Getting into port parking was a nightmare. Apparently, there was a technical problem and the system crashed and they couldn’t charge for parking, so they had everyone driving around the parking lot with multiple lanes and merging them with no ...
My first oasis class cruise !!
This was my first oasis class cruise as a solo traveler.
+ Pros
The Royal Promenade had the feeling of being at Disney Springs.
The Central Park was like a Botanical Garden.
The Board Walk had a Northeast ( Jersey Shore ) look to it.
The Aqua Show was Amazing !!
The Solarium ( 18+ Pool Area ) had a great view overlooking the front of the ship, ...
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 ...
