We chose the Allure because we have sailed on it's sister ship and had a great experience. We were not dissapointed. We loved everything about the Allure. The staff, all very friendly and helpful. The food great. The dining room was especially wonderful. Celinez was the best waitress we have ever enjoyed on a cruise, hands down. And Jerome the head waiter, fabulous and so kind. Whatever we asked for, they delivered with a smile. We enjoyed the shows very much. We like the layout of the Oasis class with the Boardwalk and the Park. It gives cruisers extra places to go so it doesn't seem so crowded. Little did we know that with a Boardwalk Balcony we would receive two complimentary drink packages and lunch at Johnny Rockets. Nice per. The Boardwalk balcony was the best. We will absolutely do that again! We could always see the ocean, rock wall and the entire boardwalk including the Aqua Theater. We were able to watch a couple of shows right from our balcony. We are so surprised by some of the negative reviews regarding food and service. We just did not have one complaint.
