I would like to start with stating my wife and I are in our 30's and have been on five cruises, with four of them being Royal Caribbean. Our cruise on Allure of the Seas was our worst experience with cruising. The ship is huge and you loose the cruising feel. Unlike other ships, this ship has the most balcony rooms, but you scarifies any type of view from within the common area of the ship. Sure you can see the ocean from the pool deck, but you cant just sit inside a lounge and view the outside from a window. So if you not laying out in the sun, then you stuck inside a huge floating mall for seven days. It just wasn't for us, in our opinion, the cruise ship is just to big.

As always, the staff was great. Our room attendant, Cynthia, was great. I did slice my toe on a boat tour and needed to see the medical staff. The medical facility, Dr.'s and staff were outstanding. Thank you.

We also didn't like how structured you had to be on the this ship. Because the large amount of passengers, you had to pre book show, and other activities or miss out on them. Read more
