We choose this cruise because we have friends that live in Roatan and have made this trip many times before. We cruised on Harmony of the Seas out of Miami and thought we would enjoy Allure just as much. The ship is beautiful and someone is always cleaning and/or polishing something. The room steward was helpful and always available, but only straightens out the room once a day (which you ...
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 ...
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 ...
After previous cruising on Oasis we were excited to book Allure when it was moved to Galveston near us! This was our first cruise following the Covid pandemic, and were anxious to discover if cruising had changed.
Unfortunately we discovered cruising was another victim of Covid.
There were some highlights….The Aqua Show, the Comedy Club, The Diamond Lounge….the ceremony honoring ...
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 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 ...

1) The ship had salt accumulation on most outside surfaces, which was most apparent on all glass and Handrails. None of the windows, windbreaks etc. were transparent ...
This was our 9th RC cruise, first on Oasis Class. We had a group of 23 celebrating grandson's 21st birthday. Prior to cruise I linked our reservation for dining. When we boarded, there were several reservations not linked, 8 total people. We were assured it would be fixed. Despite several attempts, only 4 were able to dine at our tables, leaving 4 of our party seated at the other side of the ...
April 2022 Timing was right …. It was an ad hogue booking…. Food was poor at few available sources, it was my 3x on the Allure. I found it ok… u make the best of it and enjoy yourself. I in general, was satisfied with the service and the food in the main dining room at dinner and lunch time. The buffet was a hit and miss due to inconsistency in quality, temperature, selection of food items as Well ...
