I can't see how any ship can compare to the Allure (other than Oasis). This ship offers a wide variety of activities and options for all ages. It is beautiful, well maintained, and vast! My party found the food to be good to excellent and I traveled with two foodies! Pay the extra to visit either 150 Park Avenue or Chops Grille. Cabin staff is great and should all be tipped extra.

However, Kivi Rogers was fantastic; go for him!

I agree with most reviewers that say you really don't feel like there are over 6000 passengers on board. Obviously days at sea are busy by the pool, but you will find that on any ship. Read more
