We chose this cruise without knowing much about the ship. We did not spend much time in the cabin but it was cleaned twice a day with new towels and such. Our room attendant was very friendly and while we didn't ask for much, I believe he would be more than willing to accommodate our needs. We ate at the Main Dining Room for 6 of the 7 nights, breakfast once and lunch on sea days. The staff was always pleasant and we fell in love with our waitress. Plan on two hours for dinner but if you have a show booked, you can always ask and they had us out of there in plenty of time. Entertainment was OUTSTANDING!! We went to every show except the Headliner who was a Las Vegas singer-we heard he was awesome but decided it wasn't for us. Mamma Mia was amazing, OceanAria was jaw-dropping, and Blue Planet kept you wondering what was coming next. We got there early for Ice Games and were in the front row. Such talent! The bathrooms and public areas were always exceptionally clean and the staff were always friendly-greeting us with a smile everywhere we went. Its hard to go hungry with all the great-and free options. I can't wait to go to on the next cruise and we would book the Allure again in a heartbeat!!!!!
We were worried about noise from the pool deck, boardwalk and teen night club. When the door was closed, there was hardly any noise. The AquaTheater shows are noisy but we liked being outside to catch a glimpse of them when we could. While it is not the best stateroom, it certainly didn't hamper our trip at all. We loved people watching and seeing what was happening down below. If you want a quieter/more relaxed atmosphere, I would not recommend this area but it was fine for us as we had our 10 year old daughter in the room with us.
