Couldn't believe how fast boarding and disembarkation went given the number of people the ship holds. Royal Caribbean has it down. The ship is the best I've been on in about 14 cruises. Loved the boardwalk, central park, promenade and the solarium. Cabins are a bit small but comfortable. The dining room staff was outstanding and really made it a great experience. On two occasions, they arranged custom deserts for our table. They are dedicated to making you happy. The ship activities were plentiful and fun. We enjoy trivia contests and participated in many. Enjoy the Love and Marriage show and the belly flop contest. The entertainment staff is very good at what they do. I particularly didn't like Mama Mia but it was the play not the staff I didn't care for. On this trip I didn't leave the ship at all. It rained the day we were at Labadee which is the only port I would have enjoyed. This was our second time on the Allure of the Seas and my wife and I would book it over and over again as a cruise choice. Try this ship, you won't be disappointed unless you are the type of person who looks for things to disappoint you. Sail, relax, enjoy - your on vacation.
