I have never been on this ship and my sister wanted to treat me with the experience Just returned from my cruise on the Allure. It was unbelieveable. No more walking down a mile of isles of where your cabin is.....you can walk on two outside shopping and eating areas and you don't even feel the ship is as big as it is as your mind wanders to all the sights and not door room doors in the tiny isles. It has the flow rider, basketball, many jacuizi's and pools, food on each ends of the ships. Everything was kept clean and to have real trees onboard was amazing. You could just seat in the park and watch people walk by if you do't have anything else to do. Ate in the chops restrauant and it was amazing. The steak and the sides were nothing like I have ever put in my mouth. Worth the extra money, especially if you do on the lst day for only $15 pp. They even have in the morning a donut place with lots of donnuts, however you have to get there early as they go fast. The shows were like on broadway.....alot more professional than the other ships I have been on. The only negative was the windjammer was closed around 8 or 9pm, I guess because of all the other 24 hour eating places. I like to go there after a show for a dessert and coffee and had never seen a closed windjammer??? But once you know that there are plenty of other places to go for free. The pizza place was good also, fresh pizza from the hot coal oven, not frozen, haha.
