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

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 ...

Signage at new terminal needs to be better New Muster process is great Get Specialty Dining reservations asap Embarkation lunch at the Solarium is much less crowded Specialty coffee in Promenade Cafe was good. We had UDP so they were included. breakfast at the Solarium(good), Johnny Rockets(not good), and Park Cafe(good). Pool good. Bar service was good. seemed to be plenty ...

Our cruise was booked 18 months in advance. So I had tons of time to plan. I watched many YouTube videos. Read tons of reviews and joined a bunch of Facebook groups. I bought the refreshment package, one Internet package with 3 devices and the unlimited dining package. I was able to get good pricing on all packages with Black Friday deals. We had two ocean view balcony staterooms with a connecting ...

We arrived at the new Galveston Port and there were no porters to help us. We were in a seriously long line and it was hot. We were in the sun and in line for over an hour. We had to drag our luggage to the luggage intake area and I along with a lot of people did not tip. No service, no tip. Being a Diamond Plus member means nothing anymore. All RCCL cares about is the suite guests. A ...

This review starts at the port. RCCL has a new terminal that is beautiful but has to be run by blind people. It apparently opened in November and it was the worst experience we have ever witnessed in a port. There apparently is no communication between security, the private parking vendors, and RCCL. I found the disorganization to be rampant. We pulled in to be dropped off and were told to go to ...

Let’s start with the room. The bed sheets were untidy and had hairs attached to the sheets, the phone was dirty, the key fob didn’t work, so we were locked out of the room. The second day, the hinges fell off the door, and they had to move us. They cancelled our costa Maya destination we paid for and made it a boat day, which was boring, so we slept the entire day, and only woke for lunch and ...

Our first sign that something was amiss was before we even arrived. As we were driving up to the boat, we saw a rusty, grimey mess near the upper portions of the back of the ship. Admittedly, this is on the uppermost floors nearer the smoke stacks, but this was bad even for that location and everyone remarked on it. The security line was lengthy, but tolerable. As soon as we walked on the ...

This was our 3rd cruise on RCCL and will probably be our last. We’ve cruised with all the major cruise lines and we were on the NCL Encore just 6 months ago so we have a pretty good recent basis for comparison post Covid. First for the good. Loved the various neighborhoods on the Allure. This was our first time on an Oasis class ship and loved exploring the ship during the week. We booked an ...

Our embarkation was a disaster, waited in line for 95 min. They were not enforcing checkin times. Line was much longer for others. Food quality has declined significantly, sure don’t like new menus in MDR. Forcing guest to eat in specialty restaurants. They are still very good. Mama Mia was excellent best show at sea. Staff works hard. Had long hour plus wait at security in Cozumel. This was ...
