We were a group of 9 (two families + two singles) who chose this cruise as a "splurge" for a group vacation this year.
I’ll preface by saying this was our first trip on an Oasis class ship, so we did have that “WOW” factor added to our experience.
EMBARKATION: An absolute breeze. We arrived about 45 minutes early but they still allowed us right on. We had an 8 year old (vaxxed) so we went ...
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. ...
This cruise was to celebrate our 35th wedding anniversary. My husband had never been on a cruise and had no idea what to expect. I had cruised about 40 years ago with NCL and enjoyed it very much. Life happened and road trips were easier. I wanted to do something BIG for our anniversary and I talked hubby into this cruise. We're from San Diego, I wish RCI would put a ship in San Diego or Los ...
We had been on this ship before. Although the ship carries 6000 plus passengers, It is not really a problem except for the elevators on the first day, and the pools on sea days. Our check in was done online previously, so we just walked onto the ship.
We had the owners's suite which was spacious and had a whirlpool tub. But, there was a few surprises. I like the Coastal Kitchen for dinner, ...
We chose this cruise to treat our son and grand-daughters (12 and 15 years old).
It was their first experience. Everything turned out perfectly! From embarkation (10 minutes!) to disembarkation (10 minutes!). We had done the check-in online in October and had printed out our Sea passes...that's why everything was so fast!
The longest wait was in the car waiting to pass the check points ...
Wanted to do a pre-Christmas cruise for the price and wanted to try a big ship.I still think Fort Lauderdale is too far away so it may be last time for this cruise port.So much we did not try.But loved Mama Mia and Oceanaria at the aqua theater..They were probably the best I have ever seen.I Iiked the ice show,blue planet,adult comedy show,and the love and marriage show a lot.As always the service ...
We had a balcony stateroom on deck 9, and it was nice and our cabin steward was funny and an all around great guy. The food was wonderful! The main dining room food was excellent, as well as Johnny Rockets for breakfast, Chops Grill for dinner, and Giovanni's Table was good. Our servers in the main dining room Dini and Russell were very good, and always pleasant. The shows were fabulous!!! ...
The Allure of the Seas provides a never-ending supply of things to do with the many entertainment venues, restaurants, and pools to occupy your time. The cabins are of excellent quality and are larger than one would expect. Entertainment aboard the Allure is also worthy of a letter home. The main production of Mama Mia! is a true spectacle and is the best at sea! The staff onboard was incredibly ...
This was my first time in a big ship, I wanted to see how do big ships works. Okay, so the space in my cabin was kind of... small? but since I was alone it didn't bother me, it was enough, enough compartments, a medium-sized bathroom and a comfy bed.
Enterntaiment was awesome, specially the play Mamma Mia and the Aqua Shows.
Food was good, buffets had a grat variety of food and I LOVED the ...
We have sailed numerous times on Royal and this was out third on Allure of the Seas and we are booked again in April. What keeps us coming back? We absolutely love Central Park, it is beautiful in the morning and the evening. We love the freshly repaired salads and sandwiches at the Park Cafe.
The diving show Oceanaria in the Aqua theater never ceases to be amazing!
We read all the ...
