This is at least our 4th trip on the Allure and I love this ship. It is so big you really don't feel like you are cruising with 6000 people. The Central Park area is beautiful and relaxing. I love the Aqua Theatre. It is very unique. There are lots of restaurant choices, but I prefer the ambience and food choices of the main dining rooms. As for buffets (which I do not like) the Windjammer is better than most, but I avoid it unless I need to grab something quick. It can be a zoo during certain times of the day. In a hurry and ship boarding day, I prefer Park Cafe and sometimes Sorrentos. The Promenade Cafe is nice for a beverage and snack in between meals. My husband likes the hotdog stand. This trip we did a junior suite and I may be spoiled for life. It was very roomy and I liked having my own coffee maker at my beckon call. The storage and huge walk-in closet was really nice. I am looking forward to my next trip.
