We chose this ship - ALLURE OF THE SEAS - because it is the 2nd in the OASIS series and the OASIS experience was so wonderful and memorable. Since we are physically challenged we stayed on board and knew there was much to do to keep us happy and entertained. All the crew were so wonderful, helpful, friendly and brought us smiles as we battle cancer now. There was such a positive atmosphere all around with politeness and smiles from passengers as well as crew. There is always something to do even if you don't get off the ship. Since we live a half hour from the Gulf and beaches we weren't interested in the ports (and had been there before) nor could we have navigated them. It is really wonderful to stay on the ship when all get off!! The food was excellent, as was the service and everyone made us feel so welcome - got many hugs from crew and passengers!! Also got to see and do everything I wanted to on board - there is so much to choose from. The 3 types of shows were excellent as were the comedians. Can't wait to try the HARMONY OF THE SEAS - as we really love CENTRAL PARK and love to compare this class of ship. In spite of so many people we never felt there were too many people on board and got immediate service when needed. Just wonderful memories now that warm the heart. Have already recommended it to others - a real vacation!!! To cover the criteria listed: embarkation and disembarkation were excellent and smooth - we were wheelchaired. Our cabin was PERFECT for us - larger than we thought it would be and decorated for our birthdays. Dining was always a pleasure and easy to obtain with excellent food choices and helpful staff. Entertainment was EXCELLENT!! Didn't get off the ship - so no shore excursions. Service, when needed, was prompt. Would LOVE to go again - but we are battling cancer, so don't know the future. Just smiles and warm feelings now when think of the TERRIFIC WEEK and the warmth, friendliness, service and ambiance of last week!!!
