"Beach wasn't included in the tour so they offered to drop us off but we were on our own to get back to the port which was not a big deal.Thomas we took a city tour for $25 which took us around the island and then to a beautiful beach, Megans Bay...."Read More

1-10 of 3,116 Royal Caribbean Allure of the Seas Cruise Reviews
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 ...
The Bad....
Dogs now allowed (not just service dogs), sometimes without a leash. Eating off floor and table in dining areas. Kids licking salt shakers in Windjammer. Smokers on balconies. Groups taking over hot tub in Solarium for several hours with their boom box music playing loud. ALL of this was observed by staff with no one stopping it. Windjammer is far too small for a ship this size. ...
We went on this cruise because family members invited us. We didn't like the ship at all. It is very claustrophobic and feels more like being in a shopping mall than on a cruise ship. You can't see out when on the main entertainment decks and bars. The food was awful, tasteless and overcooked. Drink service really slow. This was our 11th cruise on various cruise lines and was definitely the ...
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 ...
Before Covid this was a prime cruise line after Covid I feel they are at the same or worse level than Carnival. Below are the things I found has diminished Considerably.
1) Food this was bland and it was like that during each meal we had. The Buffet breakfast and lunch was the same thing every single day after day after day the dining room food was at times the same thing they had at the buffet ...
From the time I parked my car until I was onboard took no more than 30 minutes! Most of that time was spent getting from the car to the terminal. This really was the best boarding I have ever experienced (this is our 14th cruise).
I must admit that the activity I look forward to the most, is eating. I am happy to report we were not disappointed by anyplace we ate, with the exception of the. ...
