I should first say that we love cruising with Royal Caribbean. We have sailed on Voyager, Navigator and now Allure.
Embarkation: Super easy and fast at Fort Lauderdale, we arrived around 11am and by 11:30 where already onboard. It helps when you have platinum or above.
Food: We chose my time dinning and the first night was incredibly busy. The line for guests that has reserved a time was HUGE and the line for those who did not was double. However, the menu was really good compared to the previous selections (before menu change) and well the service was excellent. We were lucky enough to be seated with Roxana and Moises at the Adaggio dinning room and let's just say we ate with them every night. They where amazing. NOTE: The windjammer is SUPER small, well actually, we were told is is the same size, 800 guests, in all ships. This makes a HUGE difference when you think that there are 6000 people on board. The other dinning venues, the hot dog place, and the sports area dinner and the pizzeria and promenade cafe are great. The best overall is the park cafe.
