Sail Date: Mar 2014

My husband and I sailed on the Allure from March 16-23 and had a fantastic time. We flew from frigid Ohio to Fort Lauderdale a day early so as not to fret about missing embarkation. An added bonus was dinner at Tropical Acres restaurant in Dania Beach with family who live in the area. I highly recommend this restaurant that features steak. Transfer from the airport to Homewood Suites was free, and our stay was free with hotel points. We arranged for a shuttle from the hotel to the port and port back to the airport for a total of $18.00 (total for both of us) which is a great deal.

Embarkation....arrived at the ship at 11:30 am and stood in line for an hour. Pleasant staff and when we finally got our sea pass we bypassed the photo area and thought we were on our way. NOPE....we were herded into another area where we sat and waited for another 30 minutes. Very disappointed as we had much better experiences with embarkation on other RCCL ships. We did hear later that this was an unusual issue.

We went straight to our cabin, 11231, inside balcony view of Central Park. Great cabin and location. Very quiet. Central Park is amazing...birds chirping during the day and crickets at night. The cabin was well appointed with tons of storage area, suitcases easily fit under the very comfy bed. Bathroom is small but we really like the shower doors which made the shower feel much larger. The light switches were confusing and we couldn't turn on any lights at first! We called maintenance and were instructed as to how to turn on the master switch, which we never touched again. Labels and written instruction would be helpful here. The interactive tv system was great.

Cabin Review

Great room, very quiet, close to aft elevators. More than enough storage. Loved the shower doors rather than a curtain. Nice sitting on the balcony at night, listening to live music and the crickets chirping in Central Park.
