1-10 of 3,034 Royal Caribbean Allure of the Seas Singles Cruises Cruise Reviews
My wife and I were looking for a cruise to celebrate our wedding anniversary. We had been on a recent cruise on the same ship. Royal had done a pretty good job of trying to keep cruisers safe from the Pandemic on that one. This time it was totally different. No pandemic protocols whatsoever. Children under 11 free and no vaccination required. So we spent 8 days in a full ship, cramped quarters, ...
After 6 Carnival Cruises as my kiddos grew up we would look with wonder at the big ships and say "someday." Now that the kiddos are grown (19 & 21) it was time to go on a mega ship. We had cruised RC before but it was eons ago. We were slated for Harmony but Covid.... so Allure.
The ship is beautiful. So many details and quality craftsmanship put into her. However, the design being centered ...
Sailed on the Symphony this past Nov, so I had realistic expectations in these Covid times.
The MDR was two different worlds: The lines to get in were 30-40min 2 of the nights, even with reservations. Once we got to our table, it was smooth. There is a disconnect somewhere. They work so hard, though.
The entertainment was lackluster, in terms of variety. We loved Mama Mia, Ice Games and ...
We chose the Allure as we have sailed the other ships in the oasis class and heard good things about it to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Having been in the Oasis, Harmony and the Odyssey. We find the entertainment in the ship is underwhelming. There is a band but when they don’t play the music in the background is boring. In Haiti , there was a set up for music but no music at all. Only the ...
This may be long but I found very little recent information all in one place in my research prior to departure, so here is a detailed review.
We boarded out of Fort Lauderdale and our boarding time was 11:30am, we were told that they enforced this and I understand why, it regulated the flow and reduced large public gatherings (which is quite comical based on later events while on board). The ...
We booked a Western Caribbean Cruise on Allure of the Seas in March 2022 primarily because of the Cruise with Confidence Guarantee, plus the fact that the ship was at reduced capacity. I had looked into other cruise lines that offer free WiFi and alcoholic beverages, but we've sailed with Royal Caribbean in the past and have always had a great experience. This cruise was no exception. ...
I chose this cruise because of the ports--Labadee, Aruba, and Curacao. I have been on the Allure twice before, more than ten years ago. She is a beautiful, very special ship, but most definitely showing her age and in need of an update.
We sailed at high capacity (5000) with 1200 crew. There were not enough crew to keep up with the masses. Some shops never opened, and I have to assume that was ...
Chose this cruise 6 weeks prior to departure. For us it was just a matter of comfort level and risk we were willing to take once we saw how COVID was coming out of winter. Wife and I have stuck with Norwegian and RC over the 8 cruises we did. Nothing on this cruise changed my opinion of RC in terms of using again.
We were on this same ship in 2014 so we knew what we were getting in terms of ...
We have not even sailed yet and I am so frustrated I want to leave. Every restaurant is booked. Here’s the big kicker: I PAID for two alcohol packages and a juice package. I have proof that I paid for it. They don’t show it and because they don’t see it they are not honoring my proof. I am now expected to pay for the packages twice!!! Never again will I book with Royal Caribbean! Only after they ...
We just returned from B2B 8-day cruises on the Allure. We have cruised on the Allure in the past.
Embarkation went very smoothly.
Once on board we headed to Deck 15 to enjoy the Solarium area until our cabin was ready. This is how we start every cruise on an Oasis Class ship. Our cabin, a Balcony on Deck 8 was good, not great, I'll talk more about that below.
Entertainment was good - ...
