The Allure is a beautiful ship and the staff keep it very clean and well maintained. We travelled with a large group (10 people) including an 86yo handicapped man and our 2.5yo daughter. The boardwalk was probably my favorite location on the ship. It’s was awesome that the carousel was “included” because my daughter probably rode it 20+ times. Lines for the carousel were never to long. I also loved all of the ballon animals. We got some on the board walk, on the pramonade and in the windjammer cafe. Defienitly made my 2yo happy. The staff was also very accommodating for my husbands 86yo grandpa. We have trouble getting around and the main dining room staff were also eager and ready to help us get him to the table each night. Also my husbands aunt is allergic to red meat and Randy in the Dining also gave her the menu for the next day so she could pre order that way they could make sure to take extra care and precautions when preparing her food. The parade was fun but sad that the trolls were no included☹️ The ocean aria is the best show I have ever watched on a cruise. My 2yo lived it as well. The ship did seem to be kind of “broken up” and a little difficult to navigate but not a huge problem. We had the unlimited drinking package and were very surprised that any drink under $13 dollars was included ( such as specialty coffees, Red Bull’s and milk shakes) other cruise lines I have been on the drink package only includes soft drinks and alcohol. This was mine and my husbands 14th cruise since 2010 and I would definitely say this was the best yet. We may be Royal Carribean loyalist from now on.
