Royal Caribbean Allure of the Seas Cruise Reviews for Romantic to the Western Caribbean

We went on our second cruise (first was with Carnival Cruises in 2018).Carnival was cheaper and everything included we thought we are paying way more so we will get much better, infact as per their name it would be Royal. Here is what we experienced: 1)Everything we see or want to do is extra money. 2)Activities like surf boarding were free but for our turn of 2 minutes ride we waited 35 ...

I felt publicly embarrassed on our Royal Caribbean’s Allure of the Seas cruise out of Galveston. Our first dinner started off with the waiter saying the “chicken was finger licking good.” When we left the dinning room, we were greeted with passengers licking their finger. So on and so on daily. I complained to the Restaurant Manager about this but to no avail. The last day of the cruise they sat ...

Background - 1x HAL (Mexican Riviera), 1X Princess (Alaska), 2x NCL (Alaska and Western Caribbean), 8?x CCL. Self, DW, 2X adult DD (21/24), MIL/FIL. At this point we look at itineraries first and price, not necessarily line or ship. In no particular order... Itinerary - only Costa Maya was new for us. They cut the port time short before the cruise, so all board was 12:30 PM. Our excursion ...

Spent two weeks on Allure starting on May 7th and I'm sorry to say there were many disappointments. Quality & Quantity of food has significantly declined and that was across all venues, esp. the Specialty Restaurants where the prices are way to high. Pinnacles not staying in a Grand Suite or above could not have breakfast in Coastal Kitchen and were allowed to have breakfast in Chops, where the ...

My husband, two 20-something sons and I were on this 7 day cruise out of Galveston to Roatan, Costa Maya and Cozumel. This was our first cruise on RCL, and my sons' first cruise anywhere. This ship seemed to be completely full, so waits for elevators were common as were lines at the main dining rooms for dinner. The wait for an elevator to disembark at the end of the cruise was particularly ...

Several parts of this review assume you already know about cruising. The GOOD... Our cabin was on deck 8. This ended up being a great choice because it was possible to walk from one end of the ship to the other without walking down the room hallways and without needing to get in an elevator first to get to a common area like the promenade, Central Park, or the pool deck. I have a bad knee ...

Wanted to try a big ship (5000*) passengers. Was better than I expected. Keep in mind we are a retired couple in our 70's. Activities & Entertainment A+: I'm used to the same old loud singing, clumsy dancing and ladies swinging from sheets on smaller ships. No one would pay to see those types of show on land but people pay big to see Broadway shows. The show Mama Mia, while no My Fair Lady, ...

Since we had not travelled since pre-COVID, we decided to splurge and upgrade to the Owners Suite. We have zero regrets about doing this. The suite was extra spacious, beds were more comfortable, balcony was huge, and the perks associated with having a suite were superb (access to the Suite Lounge with its included nightly appetizers and drinks, access to the Coastal Kitchen with its elevated ...

Allure Very good service in the main dining room (we did anytime dining). While the food varied from good to very good, my overall impression was it was under seasoned and pretty bland (no, ol not a smoker). The specialty restaurants were very good and 150 Park was excellent. I was surprised there was nowhere to grab a burger etc while hanging out by the pools. Hint: The adults only Solarium is ...

Most of the negative I have is due to it being spring break and inundated with families. If you think about 2 people per room, then have kids in with parents, there are just more people. We learned a timing lesson, but it was unavoidable due to our group having a 7 year old. We were a group of 8 celebrating a milestone bday. Mostly in our 50s with a 31 year old and his son. We are from CA ...
