We choose this cruise because of the ship and some of the ports of call. The Allure was magnificent. We had a really great time. The staff were friendly and went above and beyond to make you happy. The food was great and a nice variety of anything you could want. We will definitely be sailing with Royal Caribbean again ! The rooms were a nice size, the balcony was great to have over the water. We enjoyed the Aqua shows and the parade. The pools were great and not to bad with crowding as they have several pools and hot tubs for you to choose from. The wait staff were really nice and would bend over backwards to get you whatever you need. The ports of call were good. We really enjoyed Cozumel Mexico, we did our own thing and did not go through the ship for our excursion which was fine.
