Do not under any circumstances book a wedding on a Royal Caribbean cruise ship, especially Allure of the seas, it was by far one of the worst experiences I have ever had! To start I received a text message at 10pm the night before my wedding confirming all guests would be there by 9:30am, We were originally told 10am although I told my guests 9:30 to ensure no one would be late. In addition to ...
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. ...
My wife and I have cruised Allure twice this past year. Both experiences were good. The service was outstanding both times and there are plenty of things to do onboard.
For both cruises we booked a balcony cabin. The only disappointing thing about the cabins were the lack of electrical and USB receptacles. The cabin has one small receptacle with 3 outlets that are very close together. There ...
This was our second cruise on the allure of the seas. My husband and i sailed last october 2022 to labadee, aruba and curaçao for our wedding anniversary. We loved our time so much that we booked a cruise on the allure out of galveston september 2023 with our family. 3 cabins. My son and daughter n law have a 11 month old.
We all enjoyed our cruise! My husband and i had a boardwalk balcony ...
Traveled with friend and family. Embarkation was a breeze, although I think they can improve a little with the drop off of luggage. We figured it out, but I can see how some could confused. We were on the ship in 15 minutes which was great. The ship overall is nice and well maintained for it's age. It's a little worn here and there. Our ocean view balcony was spacious and our cabin steward ...
My husband and I were frequent, fairly adventurous travelers pre-kids. Of course, vacations drastically change once you have a family. Last year we did Club Med Cancun and it was kind of awful, so we decided to try a cruise this year. We had been on Carnival and Princess before in the before-kids era, but we decided to give Royal Caribbean a try since it seemed pretty family friendly. Traveling ...
