"Overall, the crew looked tired and strained, and for the first time ever, I saw borderline rude behavior from some staff, as if they wanted us to just go away.That is the first time ever that I've been on a cruise with food that felt like cafeteria quality food...."Read More

1-10 of 614 Royal Caribbean Allure of the Seas Cruise Reviews for Fitness to the Caribbean from Fort Lauderdale (Port Everglades)
We did an 8 night cruise. We've sailed on Oasis 2 times before, but never the Allure and we had a lot of fun.
We had 2 early teenagers with us and there were so many activities for all of us to do together.
The food was mostly delicious! We had a few nights in MDR that service was VERY slow. We did my time dining and had to wait for a seat a lot - 20 to 30 minutes usually - but sometimes ...
Have been on a couple other cruise lines, but Royal Caribbean is always a favorite of our family.
Last Cruise we had our two teenage boys with us and although they were in the adjoining cabin, we rarely saw them. I was nervous initially about their age group (and the Allure has not been through the Royal Upgrade yet (with waterslides and bunch of other perks)) but there were so many ...
The Allure is a beautiful ship! Great, helpful and happy personnel work on this ship. They were very excited to be back to cruising and it showed. We enjoyed delicious food in all of the restaurants and experienced great service with a smile. Sadly for us, we came home infected with COVID, despite being double vaccinated and boosted. We had not cruised since 2019 and we were very excited about ...
My wife and I chose this ship because we were pleased with our experience on the Harmony., a sister ship in the RC Oasis class. Our tips from lessons learned from previous cruises would be:
1) Arrive in embarkation day as early as possible. You are told to arrive only at your scheduled time. However the lines are long so even though they move quickly it can take a while before one is actually ...
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 ...
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 ...
Two seniors (70+) from AZ traveling without our cruise buds this time.
Having taken the Oasis in 2009 my partner suggested following up with an Allure cruise to see if it were as enjoyable. Our last RC cruise was almost four years ago.
Transport to FLL - With departure on a Saturday this meant a Friday flight to arrive the day before.A flight on a Friday to south Florida means high cost ...
We booked this cruise over 1 1/2 years ago thinking Corona would be a distant memory. We almost cancelled since the positivity rate was close to an all time high. Glad we chose to go even though my sons gf tested positive and they had to cancel last minute. Ship had less than 2300 passengers who sailed! We saw many sea passes waiting for passengers who never got on board.
Embarkation-Our ...
My wife and I chose this cruise to surprise my folks and relatives, and it was an amazing success!!!
My wife and I flew into Fort Lauderdale from Chicago the day of the cruise. This makes my wife a nervous wreck, but seeing as how we booked last minute it saved us almost $1000 dollars on airfare, hotel, and food. Amazingly, from the time we landed to embarkation was less than an hour. We ...
